We’ve Got Your Back
There’s no shame in having bacne (back acne), but at the same time, those who struggle with bacne will feel very self-conscious about showing their backs… If you’re struggling with bacne, there’s actually a simple adjustment to your shower routine you may not have considered. Hair products like shampoo and conditioner often contain oils and ingredients that can contribute to clogged pores when they run down your back during a shower.

To mitigate this, lean forward while rinsing your hair, allowing the residue to flow away from your back. Alternatively, make it a habit to wash your back thoroughly with anti-bacterial soap after rinsing out your hair products. This practice can help in reducing the occurrence of bacne, as it prevents the build-up of hair product residues that can irritate the skin or block pores, leading to breakouts.
