Evening skincare routine for body acne: step by step
A calm evening routine often beats an elaborate one for body acne. Here is the sequence, with recovery built in.
The sequence
BHA body spray on affected zones → non-comedogenic body lotion.
Active nights and recovery nights
Use BHA body spray on affected zones on two or three nights, spaced apart. On the others, cleanse gently and use only barrier cream.
If spots on back and chest flares after an active night, extend the gap to every third night.
Avoid at night
Scrubbing inflamed areas and skipping shower after exercise tend to undo evening progress — leave them out for the first month.
