Butt Acne
It's bad enough that breakouts on your face are still a thing, but what the heck is up with getting acne on your butt (aka buttne)? TBH, it's just as embarrassing as waking up to a zit smack in the center of your forehead — only, at least you can quickly hid the pimple on your butt by slipping on your clothes.
1. Don't stay in your work out clothes long enough for your skin to marinate in them. Basically, take your sweaty work out clothes off as you get inside your house and take a shower. The quicker you clean yourself off, the less chance bacteria has to brew inside of your LuLuLemon gear. Oh, and if a pair of pants rubs you the wrong way, maybe chill on wearing them for a hot second until you get this issue under control.
2. Wash with a medicinal, acne-fighting body wash. Dr. Idriss recommends washing with a body wash that contains a high percentage of benzoyl peroxide to kill any bacteria on the skin. Try PanOxyl 10% Acne Foaming Wash, $10
3. Treat, do NOT pick! Dr. Idriss doesn't want you exacerbating the issue. Instead, she recommends swiping the area with a glycolic or salicylic acid pad, like Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads, $13, BUY NOW, and then applying a skin-sloughing lotion on your butt skin, like Amlactin, which contains urea that helps keep dead skin cells from collecting and clogging your pores.
