body acne 101
As the seasons change our skin can change too! Body acne is a lot more common when it’s warmer outside and we are sweating more.
I’ve had a few clients reach out about sudden body acne and it absolutely makes sense with the seasons changing! It has been warmer and more humid here in Kentucky so this can cause excess sebum production and breakouts.
What is body acne?
Body acne can happen just like acne can happen on our face! Overactive oil glands, excess dead skin cells, and acne-causing bacteria can lead to breakouts anywhere on the body. Pimples develop when oil and dead skin cells become trapped within the follicle (pore) and create a blockage.

My favorite hack for body acne is to soak cotton rounds in the Sal-C toner and keep them in a baggy to use after sweating/working out!
