Body Acne FAQ

QUESTION:
"How can I clear up body acne?"

ANSWER:
To improve body acne, start with your cleansing routine. “Soap with very few ingredients—no perfumes or dyes—will kill bacteria, improving the appearance of your skin and preventing the further spread of acne,” says Manhattan dermatologist David Colbert. The Lever 2000 Perfectly Fresh bar soap ($3 for two bars; drugstore.com) is a bacteria-banishing classic. He then recommends treating arms with a spray containing salicylic acid like Neutrogena Body Clear Body Spray ($9; neutrogena.com). It has a 360 degree pump, which makes treating hard to reach places a breeze.
