Acne doesn’t only appear on the face – the body can also be affected. Back acne (or “bacne”) is particularly common, but breakouts may also appear on areas such as the chest and shoulders. For many, this can feel troublesome and beyond the skin’s appearance, it may also affect self-esteem.
Although acne is a complex skin condition with no universal solution, a skincare routine with gentle, natural products from MARIA ÅKERBERG can help relieve symptoms and prevent new breakouts.
Why does body acne occur?
Body acne develops in the same way as facial acne: sebum and dead skin cells clog the pores, creating an environment where bacteria thrive and cause inflammation. Heat, sweat, tight clothing and synthetic fabrics can make symptoms worse. Hormones, stress and diet may also play a role.
The role of diet
There is no direct link between specific foods and acne. However, diet can affect overall skin health. Reducing the intake of sugar and foods containing skimmed milk powder, such as chocolate and crisps, may help reduce inflammation in the body and ease acne symptoms.
Skincare products that can help with body acne
PROBIOSKIN+
A dietary supplement with 4 billion Lactic acid bacteria per tablet. Combined with a balanced diet, it supports gut health and may contribute to clearer, healthier skin. The gut and skin microbiome are closely linked – when the gut is balanced, inflammation decreases and the skin is better able to heal.
