Six Japanese Selections to Eliminate Back Acne
Do you have confidence in your back? Our backs are usually covered by the clothing, thus easier to neglect back care than our face care. Neglected back care can lead to back acne, since that is where there are lots of sebaceous lines,
It is even possible that back acne will worsen because self-care is particularly difficult. It is hard to reach with the hands too. Subsequently those acne reoccur at the same spot once they have started.
Today, we’re going to share with you the ways we can solve our back acne worries!
Your back is attracting attention
A certain beauty survey was conducted, “Do you think you have done enough body care?” About 76% of the respondees replied that they thought it wasn’t enough, or that they needed to do better.
In fact, there was another question, “How often do you look at others’ bodies?” 29% of the respondees replied “very often”, while 44% replied “sometimes”.
The interesting things we can learn from the survey are: on one hand, there is an increase in the number of people who think that they are not doing enough body care. On the other hand, they are concerned with others’ looks. Looks like we are comparing ourselves with others daily, huh?
Back Acne
Back acne doesn’t seem to heal naturally. Even so, there are products available for acne care that can help improve back acne.
Acne occurs on the back easily
Most people wash their faces and carry out skincare more than once a day. What about the back?
Of course, we would do be able to wash our back when we enter the shower, but we can’t actually see it, and it may be hard to reach it. As a result, most people are not able to wash their backs properly.
Causes of back acne
Overproduction of sebum
The back ranks second in the area where the amount of sebum produced on our bodies (following number one, our face). Acne is likely the result if we don’t remove sebum, especially excess sebum, properly.
Testosterone increase due to lack of sleep or stress also leads to excess production of sebum. Pores can get clogged the sebum is not washed off and gets mixed with keratin.
Food and beverages that has high sugar or carbohydrate content, and animal that has high fat content will increase the amount of sebum produced. You may want to relook at your diet if you are prone to getting acne.
Soap residue on the back
Surprisingly, there could be soap residue left, even though our intention is to do thorough wash. Furthermore, the residue can also come from shampoo and hair rinse.
If the acne is stubborn on the back, try to pay closer attention while using shampoos and rinses.
Strategy versus back acne
We can’t ignore it just because it is hidden by our clothing.
Generally, give moisture care
It’s not just limited to back acne, but moisture care is something every acne case should receive. It’s not enough to ensure our backs are clean. Our back needs moisturising too, just like how we have lotions and emulsions to moisturise the skin. We should to apply moisturising cream or mist to our backs, and take proper care not to let sebum clog our pores.
Using products meant for the back
Can our back use the same products we use for our face? Actually, the skin on our back is thicker than the skin on our face. As such, acne medication for the face may not be effective when applied to the back. We should use products meant for the back in such cases if we can help it.

can you use Kobayashi Pharmaceutical’s Sena-Cure acne spray to your face?
Hi Joy, we will not recommend it! The makeup of the skin on our face and back and different, with our face being thinner and thus more sensitive. We’d think that the Sena-Cure might be too stimulating for the facial skin, and fear an adverse effect.
