A Guide to Banishing Bacne Fast, Inexpensively

Planning to Wear a Strapless Gown?

Most of us have experience breakouts at some point in our lives, but it always seems that bacne shows up at the worst possible time. Whether it's before your wedding, prom or the annual pool party, bacne is never welcome, especially when you need to look good....fast. Luckily, after much trial and error I have figured out how to get rid of it once and for all while spending very little money.

Cleanse

Even though cleansing seems like an absolute no brainer, sometimes it's tough to reach and really clean your back in the shower. With that said, I recommend buying a back brush rather than using a washcloth, loofah or sponge. Back brushes can be purchased at a dollar or discount store and will help you cleanse every spot thoroughly. I recommend using a cleanser with glycolic or salicylic acid on your back every day.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating gets rid of dead skin cells on your back and promotes healing. That's why it's so important that you exfoliate your back just like you do your face. Luckily, you can use a sugar scrub which tends to be too harsh for the face on your back. There's no need to go out and buy a fancy version since they are expensive and typically mixed with pore clogging oils. Instead, I recommend using table sugar to exfoliate your back.

Treat

You may have heard of using the aspirin mask for your face, but it can also be used for your back. Simply crush up traditional aspirin or buy the new quick release version, mix it with a bit of water and apply it to your entire back. After about twenty minutes wash it off and pat dry.

Next, take your preferred toner, preferably one containing acne fighting ingredients and put it in a spray bottle. Spray your back and allow it to dry before getting dressed.

In just a few days your bacne should start to clear up for your big day. Be sure to get plenty of rest and drink 8-9 glasses of water per day to ensure skin renewal. If you still have a few pimples on the day of the event, simply pat some heavy duty concealer on them and set with translucent powder. Now be confident about your looks and enjoy your day!
