Home Remedies For Back Acne

Exfoliate Well

Avoid Tight Clothing

Tight clothing may make your back acne worse as the injury of sweat and oil getting trapped on the skin may irritate your back and trigger further breakouts. Instead, pick looser, breathable fabrics (like cotton) to allow airflow and moisture-wicking properties to help keep your skin clear and healthy.
