Spots in the bottom area

How do you manage spots and constant skin irritation in the bottom area? I am 46 years old and have had this issue in varying degrees of severity since the age of 13.

Re: Spots in the bottom area

Dear Nurialapuria

Thank you for your question.

If you are getting breakouts on your bottom I would recommend you review the products you are currently using and consider using skin products with 'actives'.

Conditioning your hair and letting it drip on your back/bottom area can clog skin pores leading to breakouts. Using rich moisturisers can also cause similar problems.

Consider using a salicylic acid based cleansers can help reduce build up of dead skin cells and blocked pores which can also lead to breakouts.

Best wishes
