Bacne causes

Back acne (or “Bacne”) is not only embarrassing but also very common.  There are many bacne causes but hormones and oily skin do play a large part in this.  The good news is that it manageable.

Bacne causes

Millions of teenagers and even adults get acne – including acne on the back, neck, chest, or arms.  This is called bacne and it would be good to know the bacne causes so that you can manage it.

Acne (any kind) is a type of skin disorder in your pores.  Sebum is made in the sebaceous glands which are deposited on the skin from your hair follicles.  It’s possible that you are over-producing the amount of sebum.  When this happens, pores get clogged with oil and dead skin, causing acne / pimples / bacne.  It is important to wash your skin regularly and of course, exfoliate in order to help to remove the dead skin cells that have become stuck in your pores.

You will tend to get acne on the areas of your body that are the most oily AND where you constantly touch.  So, common areas for acne are the face, back, neck, shoulders and chest.  This is also why it is important to cleanse your skin and hair properly.  A nice clarifying shampoo that doesn’t strip away the natural oils but also removes the dirt and residue on your hair is essential.  I recommend either of the following:

Aubrey Organics Tea Tree and Primrose Clarifying Shampoo

or

Avalon Organics Clarifying Shampoo

This place even offers free ground shipping.

While lots of people will have to deal with acne / bacne at some time, those who tend to have oily skin suffer the most.  Oily skin is just another bacne cause.

When we hit puberty, we start to see acne.  For girls, this could be as early as 11 (sometimes earlier).  Boys would be around age 13.  Since boys have more hormones, their acne can be more problematic and actually last longer.  It’s frustrating for sure but you can take proactive steps to manage it by drinking clean water, eating as healthfully as you can, cleansing and exfoliating.
