6 BEST PRODUCTS TO TREAT YOUR BACNE PROBLEMS

While acne is typically considered a face-centric frustration, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t experienced a pimple or two — or dozens — somewhere south of the neck. Bacne, in particular, occurs because friction from clothing combined with dead skin cells, bacteria, and sebum can inflame pores, and lead to pimples.

With summer just around the corner, backless tops are making a comeback in our wardrobes. Unfortunately, backless tops aren’t the only ones making a comeback this season.

During summer, body acne is more likely to pop out, and it can be red, itchy, or painful when inflamed. Since we live in a tropical country, the high temperatures can cause oil-producing sebaceous glands to be more active. This overproduction of oil can mix with pollutants and clog the pores, which leads to acne. While confidence is key to sporting just about any outfit, you still shouldn’t let body acne stop you from flaunting your best skin.

Good thing there are a lot of products in the market to help you with your concerns. Here’s a list of highly rated skincare  and expert-recommended products that we gathered to help you fight bacne.
