BACK ACNE

Much like your face, your back has numerous sebaceous glands that also secrete sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that along with dead skin cells and bacteria build up in your hair follicles, clogging them and causing acne.

Some things can make "backne" worse:

1. The wrong cleanser or shampoo . They run down your back while you shower and can clog your pores if not washed off completely. You may also be sensitive to the ingredients, try to use non-chemical, plant derived products and be sure to rinse off completely.
2. Wearing a bra that isn't clean. Sounds gross but if you sweat a lot during the day and you aren't switching bras, the bacteria will cause more outbreaks or aggrivate the ones you have already.
3. Tight clothes. Not allowing your skin to breath and compressing areas of moisture close to your skin.
4. What you are eating plays a factor. Skin is connected to your Liver and Kidney - the main filters of your body. When you consume foods that are high in grease, sugar, preservatives and so on - your Liver and Kidneys works extra hard to filter the toxins. What it can't filter will either be recirculated or your body will attempt to purge out the next largest organs....skin and kidneys. Ensure you are drinking enough water and reduce your "junk foods"
5. Milk products have also been linked to acne. Again, mucus forming and trying to filter from your Liver.
6. Sunscreen: Acne prone skin does NOT like chemical sunscreen. Use a Mineral Based sunscreen for less aggrivations.
7. Hormones : Stress can lead to breakouts! Estrogen levels related to your menstral cycle.

Brushing your skin with a brush is a great way to improve the appearance of your skin especially if you have acne. Brushing helps eliminate toxins through the skin which will reduce the bacteria and sebum on the surface which cause acne.

Before you have a shower, dry brushing your skin will stimulate your lymphatic system which is your bodies toxin drainage. It will increase blood circulation which helps your skin to renew itself.

1. Removes dead skin cells which can clog pores
2. Opens the pores to allow toxins to release
3. Stimulates blood vessels allowing your skin to have access to more vitamins and minerals
4. Not only for acne, dry brushing for is a ancient technique used to cleanse the entire body or toxins. It helps prevent colds in the winter, helps with weight loss, helps with nerves, restless legs and cramping.
