Body Wash for Acne Prone Skin...

Every summer I break out in pimples on my upper chest, shoulders and back and I'm sick of it! Can anyone recommend an over-the-counter body wash specifically for break-outs? Something inexpensive that i can buy at any local store? I've been using Neutrogena but it's not working. It feels like a losing battle with this heat and humidity. Thanks!!

What can I do next?

Try using acne wash and/or acne pads. A lot of times scrubs are too harsh on our skin and can cause breakouts to become more flared. So I would only use it 2x's a week and scrub gently.

My sister used Pro Active body washed and really liked it. She said it helped with hers. Good Luck!

paul mitchells tea tree body wash. its amazing! or the pm tea tree bar...you should be able to find it anywhere too. it really helped clear up my fiances skin- he gives it to everyone for holidays. its awesome :)

I've had the best luck with panoxyl bar found at Walgreens or other drug store places. I use it every other day and on the off days I use Paula's Choice BHA gel.

The biggest culprit is probably your conditioner. After you condition your hair, pull your hair up, then wash your back.

I use a loofah to scrub my back with. Just make sure you let it dry well and replace often.
