5 Habits That Are Causing Your Back Acne

Back acne is probably a lot more common than you think. Tragically, pimples aren't restricted to the face alone; they can appear on any part of your body that has hair follicles and secretes sebum. Having bacne can be especially annoying due to the sheer amount of surface area at play — all the more room for bigger breakouts. Plus, the skin on our back also tends to be thicker, which can make acne become more embedded into the skin and even more difficult to treat — not to mention, difficult to reach.

The first step in treating your back acne is knowing the cause. Just like our facial acne, you need to learn your triggers. Check out these habits that may be causing your back acne.
