Question by B-girl Swag: How do I get rid of body acne?
I rarely get body acne, but sometimes I get one or two big zits on my legs. And I can’t do anything about it! I have to avoid wearing short skirts and shorts until it’s gone, cuz once I tried to pop one and even when it’s gone, it left a big red mark on my leg which I have no idea how to get rid of. Please, PLEASE help me! It’s summer and awfully uncomfortable to wear pants and jeans and leggings all the time!

Here are some things to try before spending money on expensive soaps.
Step 1: Don’t pop ‘em. I know it’s hard but you’re potentially spreading the acne by doing this.
Step 2: First thing to try is washing more frequently with a super mild soap. Your skin may be more sensitive to certain things it is coming in to contact with than you realize.
Step 3: Drink more water. Your skin will be healthier and look better.
Step 4: Rule out allergies. Try to note when the outbreaks happen. Is it after you eat dairy products? Around ‘that time’ of the month? After playing with your friends dog?
Hope that helps!
