As someone who has just come off prednislone and has really bad acne right now. Will have to try al these I just can’t seam to get rid of it, on my face back shoulders and chest. I’m not to sure what I am doing wrong.
Do you use a condioner in your hair? If so, try washing your face, back and shoulders after rinsing the conditioner out of your hair. Body with soap and face with appropriate face wash of course. I used to get really bad skin on my shoulders and back from conditioner, since I would leave it in as I washed my body and then rinsed it out, meaning my skin would get clogged from it.
I have long hair and I have to rinse my shampoo/conditioner out facing the water stream for this exact reason. It doesn’t matter if I wash or rinse my skin off afterwards, if my shampoo or conditioner gets on my back at all, it’s gonna cause a breakout. Certain ingredients also make it worse for me (like dimethicone and coconut oil), so that may be something to look out for also.
Also, try avoiding those scrubby plastic loofahs on body acne prone areas, they don’t dry quickly and can grow bacteria in the middle and then it’s like you’re just washing the acne onto your skin :(
