Acne on the Body informationAcne on the body or commonly referred to as Body Acne is fairly common among all age groups, teens as well as adults. In fact, the number of adults affected by acne is dramatically climbing every year, especially women. Although, like many skin diseases, the root cause of acne has yet to be discovered, there are several factors which contribute to making this condition worse. External factors such as tight fitted clothing, including jeans, tight tops, and even back packs irritate acne. Acne on the body is more prevalent in some areas than others. For instance,acne on the back, shoulders, neck and on thebutt is becoming fairly common and in some cases fairly severe. The main reason for this is that the skin pores on the body are much bigger and active than those of your face. As such, they produce more sebum (oil), clog easily, and lead to the formation of acne faster than pores on your face. How Do I Treat Body AcneAs the number of people infected with body acne continues to increase yearly, so do the number of treatments. I can think of at least ten different treatments in the past year alone which have surfaced out of no where. As such, most of these treatments have very little if any track record of their effectiveness. However, there are two treatments for body acne which have been on the market for several years with an excellent reputation and proven track record. These include the ZenMED Body Acne Combo and ClearPores deep Body Wash. They work fast and effectively to get rid of acne. How it Works - Step 1 - ZENMED™ Botanical Acne Mask and Spot Treatment – A clay based, botanical-infused mask product designed to be smoothed over the skin before showering. Leaving this product on for 2-5 minutes (or until dry) will effectively absorb excess oil from the skin, while anti-bacterial agents like Oregano Oil work to kill surface acne bacteria. A high grade Salicylic Acid and Citric Acid combination simultaneously penetrate the skin to help open up the clogged pores and soften the skin. How it Works - Step 2 – ZENMED™ Botanical Body Acne Wash – Once in the shower, use this product to wash the Botanical Acne Mask off. This body wash is an effective cleansing agent supplemented with ground all-natural Walnut Shells to give the skin an invigorating exfoliation while increasing blood flow in the localized area. Once again, high grades Salicylic Acid as well as non-irritating cleansing agents are utilized to maximize the effects of this extremely effective body cleanser. Your skin will be softer, smoother and acne will clear up faster than ever before. The Body Acne Combo is what you will see the best and fastest results with and we do recommend trying it together first and foremost. You can however purchase them separately but you get greater savings when purchasing both. How it works: The unique combination of effective acne ingredients unclogs the pores on your body. Apply the Deep Wash to the affected skin and remove all debris and wash out the bacteria from your pores. The ClearPores™ Deep Body Wash is recommended for use in the morning and at night. Active Ingredients: Salicylic Acid (2%), SD Alcohol 40 (1%)
