Body Breakouts

Hi Everyone -
I have been having problems with body breakouts. The strange thing is, I have no problem with my face. Just my chest and back. I am embarassed by this and never thought I would have problems now as apposed to my teens. I use this body clearing scrub along with my clinique face soap at night time. What's the deal??? I thought about making myself drink a glass of milk everyday. Any other suggestions???

Hey! I've had this problem before - it definitely isn't pretty. I don't know your skin or your lifestyle for that matter, but a few things I do to keep it under control:
I always make sure to take a quick shower after working out and I'm careful about what lotions I use on my body. I bought this gelled body oil once and it made my chest break out. Bad move! And I used to use Clinique's body acne spray, but Mark (Avon for the younger crowd) makes a similar spray for less. I spray that on my "trouble areas" before bed. Just make sure you're not using a ton of cleansers, etc otherwise I think this will make matters worse.
If all else fails you can hit up the dermatologist!
Good Luck...
AVON sells a product called Backne(for the body)...along with other acne/blackhead regimin products.
Go online to avon.com ...and not to be too impartial...i also know the marykay also carries acne products...check out MaryKay.com as well.
I love the avon products...i use them religiously and my skin glows. i pay a tad bit more than i would if i got a walmarts product but it is worth the extra dollar. Hay, maybe you might even find it on sale now..after all it is Christmas. Find a sells rep in your area by logging into avon.com and maybe you can get a firsttime customer discount on your first shipment of acne products.
Merry Christmas
