Yes, exercise can cause back acne, however, pimples on the back can be caused by a number of things. Like the face, acne can affect the back as well. But what causes it? Some professionals will say hormones, diet, medication, and the environment all play a contributing factor.
How can exercise play a factor in acne?
Gym equipment is often microscopically dirty. When your skin comes into contact with a dirty surface, there is a chance bacteria will be transferred. For example, a client who used a punching bag to support herself while doing calf raises learned to wipe the bag before pressing her forehead onto it!
Try to avoid touching your face or scratching your back after lifting weights. Wash your hands immediately after exercising.
Another way exercise can play a factor in back acne is related to your pores. When you sweat during a workout, your pores become enlarged thereby opening up to bacteria. Close your pores by taking a quick refreshing shower.
How do I stop my back from breaking out?
If your back acne is a result of exercise, showering shortly after physical activity will help. If you currently have acne on your back, try using salicylic acid. It helps to decongest the skin’s surface and pores. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties which help reduce the size of postules.
Back Treatment. Ideal for all skin types
The BACK Treatment, also known as a “back facial”, begins with a deep pore cleanse followed by exfoliation. The exfoliation process removes build up and dead skin on your back. After that, a relaxing steam session warms and softens the skin in preparation for manual extractions.
If you’re looking for a result driven skincare service to treat coarse, hyperpigmented, or acne prone skin, Back Peels may be the ideal treatment selection for your skin care goals. While facial peels are quite popular, their benefits extend beyond just the face. Back Peels are an effective solution to address various skin concerns on the often-neglected back area.
So, what are the benefits of Back Peels and why they are they so effective?
1 | Provide Deep Exfoliation
Back Peel treatments involve the professional application of specially formulated solutions containing high concentrations of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). These potent acids work by gently lifting the top layer of dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and promoting a rejuvenated complexion. Back Peels provide significant improvement in skin texture, reducing the appearance of roughness, clogged pores, blackheads, scarring, and hyperpigmentation.
2 | Control & Treat Acne
Back acne can be frustrating and difficult to treat. Back Peels have proven to be a valuable tool in combating acne and blemishes in this hard-to-reach area. The peels work by clearing and controlling excess oil production, reducing inflammation in acne blemishes, and eliminating acne causing bacteria. This combination not only clears current breakouts but helps reduce future flareups.
3 | Lighten Hyperpigmentation
If you have dark spots, sunspots, or hyperpigmentation on your back, Back Peels can be an effective solution. By accelerating the shedding of pigmented cells and promoting the growth of new, even-toned skin, these peels can visibly reduce hyperpigmentation, revealing a clearer and more even complexion.
4 | Minimize Scarring
Whether you have acne scars or other minor scars on your back, Back Peels can help fade their appearance. The exfoliating action of the peels stimulates collagen production, which aids in skin regeneration and leads to a gradual improvement in the texture and visibility of scars.
5 | Soften Rough Skin
Back Peels not only exfoliate the skin but also help improve its ability to retain moisture. By removing the dead, dry surface cells, the skin’s ability to absorb and retain hydration from moisturizers and serums is enhanced. The result is noticeably softer, smoother, and suppler skin on your back.
6 | Smooth Fine Lines
Even if you’re not experiencing significant signs of aging on your back, prevention is key. Regular Back Peels can be an excellent preventive measure against premature aging. The stimulation of collagen and elastin production helps maintain skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, delay the appearance of wrinkles, and reveal a fresh glow to the skin.
Back Peel treatments offer a myriad of benefits beyond what standard homecare routines can achieve. Whether you struggle with acne, hyperpigmentation, or simply want to maintain healthy and radiant skin on your back, Back Peels are a game-changer.
Acids sound a bit too scary?
Start with a back treatment (formerly known as a Back Facial). The main focus of the Back Treatment is to extract the pores on your back. We recommend adding a BHA boost; Boosts are mild versions of the acids used in Back Peels, and are a great way to introduce your skin to AHAs and BHAs.
Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Dérmica offers a couple of back acne treatment options. Back acne, also known as “Bacne”, can be caused by several factors but seems to be more prevalent in physically active people.
Treating Back Acne at HOME
Besides maintaining proper skin care through professional care, there are other factors we recommend:
Stay on top of your diet Remember that anything ingested by the body has effects on major organs. Your skin is not only the largest organ, it is the most visible of all. Therefore, it is the window into your internal health.
Consistently wash your bed sheets Especially if you eat in bed, it is important to wash your sheets approximately once a week. In addition, it is not uncommon to sweat during your sleep. Sweat on your sheets may attract bacteria.
Shower after physical activity When you sweat during a workout, your pores become enlarged thereby opening up to bacteria. Close your pores by taking a quick refreshing shower. Avoid using a mitt or a loofa as this will aggravate acne and continue the scarring process. Opt for a liquid cleanser that contains salicylic acid if they are still breaking out, or glycolic acid if you are strictly in the scarring period.
