Get ready to discover a range of nurturing products and expert tips that will leave your skin feeling refreshed, revitalised, and ready to flaunt.

Body Acne

Body acne, also known as bacne, can occur due to several factors. The most common reasons include the overproduction of oil, clogged hair follicles, bacteria proliferation, and friction from tight clothing or backpack straps, all of which contribute to the development of acne lesions on the body.

Improving body acne involves a combination of good skincare practices and lifestyle changes. Here's a step-by-step guide:

• Gentle Cleansing

Use a mild, fragrance-free body wash to cleanse the affected areas daily. Avoid harsh soaps and scrubbing vigorously, as this can worsen the condition.

• Exfoliation

Exfoliate with a gentle body scrub or exfoliating cloth 2-3 times a week to help unclog pores and remove dead skin cells. Be gentle to avoid irritation.

• Shower After Sweating

After exercising or sweating, take a shower to remove sweat and bacteria from the skin. This helps prevent pore blockage.

• Moisturise

Choose a lightweight moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated without clogging pores - body lotions with anti-acne ingredients will provide extra benefits to reduce acne and acne scars.

• Limit Sun Exposure 

Protect your skin from the sun by using a non-comedogenic sunscreen. Some acne medications can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays. Sunscreen that contains calming and anti-acne ingredients will relieve the irritated acne-prone skin,  such as Centella Asiatica, Heartleaf, and Niacinamide.

Dryness of the Skin

Dry skin on the body is one of the most common issues that makes you feel uncomfortable, itchy, and sometimes even painful. By taking good care of the skin on the body like your face, you can improve the condition and achieve glowing skin.

• Moisturise Regularly

Apply a rich, hydrating body lotion or cream immediately after showering while your skin is still damp. Look for products with ingredients like ceramide, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid.

• Check Bath Time and Temperature

 Long, hot baths can strip your skin of its natural oils. Limit your bath or shower time to 10-15 minutes, and use gentle, moisturising body washes. Also, hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to further dryness and irritation. It's advisable to use lukewarm water for bathing, as it helps maintain the skin's natural moisture and prevents excessive drying.

• Use Hydrating Sunscreen 

Exposure to the sun's UV rays can worsen dryness and exacerbate skin conditions like eczema. Sunscreen helps shield the skin from these external factors, reducing the likelihood of further dryness and irritation. Sunscreen with a creamy texture prevents moisture loss and keeps the skin hydrated even under the sun!
