Backne (back-knee)
definition: acne on the back / shoulders
It's summer! The time of year that we love to bare our shoulders and be active - unless...backne strikes! It's a bummer, but many woman ( and men ) suffer from moderate break out on the back. Remember to treat your back & decollete (chest) skin much the same as your face.
1. Use a cleanser that has exfoliating ingredients like salicylic acid (which dissolves dead skin cells - the main culprit of clogged pores on the back )
2. For an intense breakout use a spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide ( this can also be found in cleansers like Proactive) This ingredient will kill the pro bionic bacteria in the infected follicle & decrease redness and swelling. You can usually see results overnight! *careful: excessive treatments can leave your skin dry & flaky. Hyper-pigmentation can occur on dark skin.
3. Get a "Backtial" - like a Facial, this is a treatment for your back! Great a week before a big event (this time frame allows everything to "come to the surface" in the days following.
If you have an event which calls for bare shoulders, have no fear - our Artists can conceal & airbrush your back with our amazing non-transferable airbrush fondation. You will look flawless & feel confident!
