What do you use for body acne?!
Question: Should I shower twice a day for my body acne.. it is pretty bad. Also what products did you use. I am using 10% benzoyl peroxide for cleanser, I am wondering what acne cream or lotion is strong and will compliment that.
Also I am thinking of going to swim cuz I heard it helps clear up acne? This is good because I can do cardio in the pool as well. How long should I stay in the pool for to help unclog my pores. THanks

1: That peroxide product is damaging your skin further, and relieves acne symptoms only momentarily.
2: Acne creams and lotions are expensive and the makers use them to extort money from people who don't know what to do, and don't know how to clean their body for skin health.
3: Showering worsens acne in the long run, but like medications, it relieves the symptoms for a moment.
4: Swimming doesn't clear the pores in any way. It does two things- 1: dries out the skin by destroying cell proteins, thus shedding pore tissues, and 2- the chlorine in the pools kills bacteria, and thus eases bacterial infection.
See my avatar? That's me a week ago. Since I was 12 I had severe acne problems... bad enough to need to visit my dermatologist biweekly. I've been looking for a way to get rid of it for a long time, by myself, because their treatments made me miserable and didn't fix the problem. I'm nearly 20 now, and I have an acne bump probably once a month.
There are going to be people telling you that it's because "people grow out of it." Well, my mom, dad, and grandmother on my mom's side all had severe enough adult acne that they're just now getting over theirs with my help and their kind cooperation.
I'm not going to tell you how. : ) Because the only reason I'm so healthy right now is because I was looking into alternative acne treatments and reasons for my poor skin condition. You should look it up on the internet and in books, and find out why you have acne.
Hint: It's not the bacteria's fault. Bacteria thrives in an acidic, poorly protected environment.
Hint 2: Washing your skin regularly, as well as missing out on specific acids in specific types of omega 3, 6, and 9 fats will cause you some big trouble in the dermal department.
Washing your skin too much can actually irritate it...
what helped me was eating healthier, eliminating sugar and junk food. Drink a lot of water. Make sure you are getting enough sleep. That really does help.
I saw a dermatologist and he offered me some medicine that you apply twice a day and it really helped and it was affordable... but if you're looking for over the counter products I would recommend Clean&Clear
i dont use anything for acne
use a mixture of neem leaves
take some neem tree leaves, boil them in water,take out the leaves (keep aside the water,dont throw it away) and grind them to a paste.apply this paste all over ur body or werever there's acne.wen it dries,wash off with cold water,then wash with the neem boiled water(which u had kept aside),then again with cold water.do not rub with towel.let it dry normally.do not touch the acne as it can make the condition worse.
do this daily or every alternate day.
buy a medicated powder for acne and every night bfore going to sleep,apply on the acne and sleep without wearing a shirt or anything on the upper body(if poss) or else wear anything lighter and softer
avoid wearing too tight clothes.
i'm sure it will heal considerably as this is the best natural remedy for getting rid of acne
