Keep Your Body Clean
When you sweat, it’s important to cleanse your skin with a mild, benzoyl peroxide-based cleanser to remove bacteria and reduce inflammation. Always shower and change into clean clothes after working out to prevent sweat from clinging to your skin. Avoid rubbing or picking at your acne, as this can lead to further bacterial buildup. Opt for warm water when bathing or showering.
Moisturize
Resist the urge to touch or scratch itchy skin, as this can lead to inflammatory acne. Instead, apply a suitable moisturizer to prevent dryness and keep your skin healthy.

Exfoliate with Body Scrubs and Spray-on Exfoliants
Acne can form when dead skin cells clog your pores. Using a body scrub or exfoliant can help keep your pores clear. Apple cider vinegar is a gentle exfoliant and also combats acne-causing bacteria. After showering, mix 1/4 cup of raw apple cider vinegar with 1/2 cup of water and spray it onto your back. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then rinse.
Mud or Charcoal Masks
Both mud and charcoal masks can help reduce and prevent body acne by drawing out impurities from your pores and keeping them clear. Apply these masks to acne-prone areas of your body to improve and prevent breakouts.

Manage Stress and Anxiety
Stress is often a root cause of many ailments, including back acne. Reducing stress and anxiety is not only beneficial for your mental health but also an effective measure in preventing body acne.
Avoid Tight-Fitting Clothing
Wearing tight, non-breathable clothing can hinder blood circulation in your back, leading to excessive sweating and acne. Opt for comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow your skin to breathe.
For severe back acne, consider oral or topical medications, or even laser treatments. Back skin is thicker and regenerates more slowly than facial skin, so be patient with your chosen treatment and avoid picking at your acne. Consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
