A few common body skin concerns and how salicylic acid can help.
The top 3 body skin concerns are :
Back acne
Keratosis pilaris
Strawberry legs or ingrown hair
Back acne:
This occurs due to excess oil production, increased thickness of hair follicle lining, bacterial overgrowth, and inflammation.
How does salicylic acid help?
In back acne, there is thinking of hair follicle opening and blockage of oil secretion. Salicylic acid reduces the stickiness of cells in the lining, thereby causing easy extrusion of oil to the surface. This helps in reducing black heads whiteheads and active acne.
Keratosis Pilaris
It is a genetic condition where the skin around the hair follicle becomes thicker and forms a mound on the skin. This gives a bumpy appearance of skin.
How does salicylic acid help?
Salicylic acid causes gentle exfoliation of skin and reduces the bumpiness.
Strawberry legs or ingrown hair
This occurs due to waxing or reverse shaving where the ahi shaft is broken below the skin's surface.
How does salicylic acid help?
By causing exfoliation of the dead skin layer, the hair may grow in the normal direction and not under the skin surface.
These are a few product recommendations that can be used for all conditions like back acne, keratosis pilaris and ingrown hair. Follow it up with a moisturiser containing alpha hydroxy acid to get best results.
