Usher In Terrific Acne Body Wash |
|
If you’re like me, you not only get acne on your face
now and then, but all over your body as well. Although I normally only
get acne on my face and back, I’ve had at least some amount of acne on
just about every area of my skin at one point or other in my life. My
feet, legs, and (ahem) genital area seems to be the only places to
escape it completely so far. While there is a certain relief to that
fact, having acne on my scalp, back, butt, chest, stomach, and shoulders
is not exactly fun. For this reason I’ve done plenty of experimenting
with acne body washes.
Oh, the joy of acne body washes knows no bounds.
They come in different sizes, shapes, colors, smells, and flavors. Well,
okay, I’m not sure about the flavor part, but
there certainly is a wide array of acne body washes to choose from. The
search is easily narrowed down when you consider the active ingredients
involved. Most acne body washes use only one of two different active
ingredients; salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide. Everything else in the
wash is just for style points.
Having used plenty of different acne body washes, I consistently come back
to the ones that use salicylic acid. This is somewhat counterintuitive, because benzyl
peroxide seems to work best with the acne face washes I’ve tried. I’m
not really sure why, but salicylic acid just seems more effective for
body acne than anything else, even though its only moderately effective
for facial acne. I prefer the acne body wash that ‘Phisoderm’ makes.
So my acne prevention and treatment routine is a benzyl peroxide acne face
wash, and a salicylic acid acne body wash. So long as I use these washes
daily, I’m able to reduce the acne I would be getting by somewhere
around 90%, which is great. However, there is still that 10% or so that
gets by, and I can’t really seem to do much about it. The acne on my
back is especially hard to prevent; no acne body wash gets rid of it
completely.
It seems to help a little if I use lotions and other
skin care products in addition to an acne body wash. I like using ones
with aloe vera and vitamin E. If I apply lotions like these soon after
using an acne body wash, it seems to boost the overall anti-acne effect.
