What causes back acne and what you can do to get rid of it?

Acne on the back (somebody called bacne) is what we do not want to face it. And we never know why it happens or what can we do to fix this problem. What causes back acne is a question that might be popped up on your mind sometimes. To understand why you have bacne, you need to think of the whole body. The skin covers your body overall that’s why you have the pores all over the body. These pores help your body cleanse themselves from the inside-out to get rid of toxins in the form of sweat. Supposing the pores which locate on your back have been blocked by sebum or dead skin cells, the sweat cannot move through the pores properly then the pores inflamed. It causes acne or pimples on your back.

Here are some of the possible causes of back acne:    

1. Irritation on your skin   

Back acne and other type of acne commonly occur when the skin is aggravated from external factors such as dirt, sunlight, sweat, skin care products, and more. For example, we tend to think commonly that the products like soap and other body washes would be good for the skin. The problem is some of these products tend to contain some active chemical ingredients that may irritate the skin. Some products can make the skin dry because of the pH values high. You should not look for soap which they have a good smell or a looking good. That is means they are not always suitable for your skin. You should choose herbal soaps or natural soaps instead. The active herbal ingredients of the natural soaps would be beneficial to your skin in the long run. In addition, supposing you have thick hair on your back and need to clear it up, you need to wax your hair back instead of shaving it off in order to reduce the irritation on your back area. And then you have to make sure you wash your back thoroughly because the wax can block the pores. So you should always be gentle with your back.

2. Hormonal imbalance   

When you let things affect yourself too much, your brain will send some signals to the body. These signals tell the body that you are having a lot of stress, and then your body releases some of the hormones in the blood circulation to protect itself. That is the same hormones which cause the outbreak of acne or pimples during puberty. These hormones are released by your body when you have the stress. Whenever you feel tense, you should take a break or meditation in order to make your mind calm down. You have to do whatever you need (in the right way) to get rid of stress and you will see the better results happen on your skin.

3. Hygiene   

It is hard to believe that one of the possible causes of back acne is you do not thoroughly clean your back. We tend to think easily that slathering soap over the back and washing it out by water would be enough. But this cannot make the job done. Look, here's the problem: Your back is a large area on the body. Imagine how much the sweat and dirt that your body accumulates under your shirt through a day. The body sweats via the pores and also releases some of the oils for protecting the skin. Your skin will gradually accumulate the sweat, oils and dirt till the right time, in the end they will clog your pores, and this leads to bacne. As we know the back area hardly to be cleaned, you should use a sponge or a loofah which they are designed to help getting rid of the dirt and oil stuck in the pores, and then wash the back very carefully. Keep in mind do not overdo it in this case you can feel the different results happening on your skin.

4. Toxins   

Every day, our bodies need to release certain toxins out of the body in the form of sweat or urine. In this case we will focus on sweat because it appears obviously on the skin. If these toxins barely move through the pores, later they combine with the dead skin cells and sebum. And then your pores get inflamed, finally it can cause several skin problems including bacne. So we need to eliminate these toxins as much as possible and water helps us with this. You should drink plenty of water and fruit juices in order to get rid of these toxins in the form of sweat or even urine.

5. Diet   

There is no evidence that foods cooked in grease, or high in calories cause back acne. However it is possible for foods to cause several skin problems such as rashes, allergies and acne. Since we are different, then you need to observe yourself what foods cause the formation of bacne or make your acne worse. Possibly you should try to eat natural foods or organic foods instead of eating junk foods. You might notice your skin condition improved in the right way.
