Are you suffering from Body acne? or Zits below the neckline? Don't worry. You are not alone! Lot's of teen get body acne. It is common in the winter months, when you are wearing piles of heavy clothing.
Sweat can clog skin pores and lead to breakouts all over. Other things that can cause body acne are tight fitting clothing ( It traps sweat against the skin, leading to clogged pores and blemishes) stress and hormones. Body acne commonly pops up on the chest and back.
Ø To zap body acne and prevent it from coming back, you can wash your body daily with a salicylic acid based cleanser. Look for this ingredient on product labels.
Ø Shower daily and be sure to shower as soon as possible anytime you have been sweating - such as after playing sports, working outside or just being in the sun. After your shower, you can follow up by a body moisturizer that contains Alfa Hydroxy acid. This will exfoliate skin and help prevent breakouts, without drying skin out.
Ø At Nighttime you can treat body acne just like facial acne, by applying an acne zapping gel or cream at the effected parts.
Ø If your body acne is particularly bad and wont respond to this treatment after about a month, you will probably need to see a dermatologist.

A lot of the time, acne on your body, especially on your shoulders and back can be caused from animal fats in shampoo and conditioner. I know it sounds grosse but most of the hair care on the market has this in it to help make your hair feel soft. I use Neways because it's 100% free of all toxic chemicals (and animal fats) and doesn't clog your pores at all. I am a distributor for Neways. You wont find it in retail stores. If you would like a free sample of the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel shoot me an email super_staa@yahoo.com.au.
A friend of mine had acne on her face and back, once she started to use the Neways range it cleared up. True story!
I'm based in NSW but am more than happy to send you some obligation free info and samples anywhere in australia. send me an email! Best of luck.

Acne sucks! I've been using a treatment for a year now and so far it's the only one that's worked good for me. I'm almost free from acne now! I highly recommend it.
