Did you know?!
Your skin can be oily and dehydrated at the same time.

When your skin is dehydrated (lacking water) your sebum production will kick in, in over drive. You will have excess oil and still lack the much needed hydration your skin needs.

This creates the perfect recipe for milia, clogged pores and breakouts.

How to treat Back acne?

Your face isn't the only place that acne can develop, it can actually develop in any part of the body that has oil-secureting glands or hair follicles, including back, chest and shoulders. Back acne most commonly referred to as "bacne" can be very troublesome.

While 92 percent of people suffer from facial acne, the 62 percent has back acne and even chest acne.
Having acne on your back and chest is a sign that your acne is more likely to be severe.
Your back, like your face, has numerous sebaceous glands that secrete sebum, an oily substance. Sebum, along with dead skin cells and bacteria, can build up in the hair follicles on your back and clog them. A clogged follicle eventually breaks down and forms an acne lesion.

Types of Back Acne

The types of acne lesions that can occur on your back include:

• Whiteheads. Whiteheads, also referred to as closed comedones, develop when a plugged follicle stays closed and underneath your skin, forming a white bump.
• Blackheads. When a plugged follicle is located on the surface of your skin and is open, it forms a blackhead, also referred to as an open comedone. The black-tip appearance of blackheads is due to a reaction between sebum and the air, not because dirt has filled your follicle.
• Papules. Acne lesions that appear as small pink bumps on your skin and are sometimes tender are called papules.
• Pustules. Also called a pimple, a pustule is a white or yellow pus-filled papule with a reddened base.
• Nodules. When an acne lesion develops deep below the surface of your skin, it can harden and form a large, painful nodule.
• Cysts. Cysts are larger, pus-filled acne lesions that are very painful and can scar the skin.

How can it be Prevented or Treated? 

Although you can't control if you get back acne,  because the main factors are out of your control. You can reduce the chances of developing future back acne lesions by:

• Avoiding certain medications. Some drugs, including androgens (male hormones) and lithium, are known to increase your chances of developing acne. If you are taking any of these medications, talk with your doctor about possible alternative treatments.
• Limiting your use of oil-based skin care products. Try not to use moisturizers, cosmetics, sunscreens, and any other oily products on your back, because they can lead to back acne flare-ups. Also, look for products labeled non-comedogenic, meaning that they don’t promote blackheads.
• Eliminating pressure on your back. If you carry a backpack or wear sports equipment, like shoulder pads, that places pressure on your back, try not wearing it for a while or, alternatively, wear a clean cotton T-shirt under it. Prolonged pressure and friction from these objects on your back can trigger certain types of back acne breakouts, called acne mechanica.

The Perfect Beauty Guide

1) Morning beauty ritual for your FACE

Some people love using cucumbers on their face every morning to freshen and rejuvenate the skin. This ritual is great, but it can be a little harsh, especially for sensitive and redness prone skin. So, here is an alternative way to do it: 

• Simply wipe your face in the morning with cold raw milk. 
• You can also mix the milk with cucumber juice and wipe your face with it using a cotton ball. 
• Rinse your face with cold water once you are done. Not only it will instantly freshen your face, but also, it will help cleanse your skin and improve your skin tone, leaving your face extremely soft, glowing and fresh.

2) Use coffee for the beauty of your HANDS

Yes, simple coffee that you drink every day can be used for skin care. Why coffee? Well, coffee grounds are a natural exfoliator. Exfoliation removes dead, dry skin cells from skin surface and enhances natural skin renewal process, making your skin look healthy and glowing.

Here is a good beauty recipe: 

• mix coffee grounds (from your morning coffee) with olive oil 
• Massage your hands with this homemade hand scrub for a couple of minutes
• Use the same circular motions as those you do while applying your hand cream 
• Rinse your hands with lukewarm water. Your hands will feel very soft and gentle. If you do this twice a week, your hands will look wonderful!

3) Wonderful natural BODY scrub recipe

Finally, here is a recipe of a simple homemade body scrub (one of my favorites):

• Mix 2 tablespoons of used coffee grounds
•  1 tablespoon of sugar 
•  4 tablespoons of olive oil
•  Massage your body with this scrub while in the shower, applying it in circular motions; especially concentrate on the areas with cellulite, on your legs and on dry areas of your body. You will notice an amazing difference on how this scrub will make your skin look and feel soft.

In response to MSG- I Consider Body Grooming for Men to Be Vain.

"Personal grooming equals great hygiene for #men." 

#Personalgrooming is the practice of caring for a person's body and ... Personal grooming is the term for how people take care of their body and #appearance.. I find it great for people to take advantage of the services now offered from Whiten Your Teeth, Dandruff Removal , #BodyGrooming,, #Weightloss, #Skincare and many more available. Taking care of yourself is most important of all because if you take care of yourself then it's that much easier to take care of everyone ... Taking care of the outside of our #body is just as important as taking care of the inside. A little care and consideration for the body, IS "NOT" CONSIDERED BEING VAIN. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS. #lizskincare #Miami #lizmesa — at Liz Skincare.
