PIMPLES

My maid of honor is freakin out that she has a few pimples on her back. They are wearing dresses where their upper back is exposed. Can anyone suggest a good cream, or lotion? SOMETHING! Her skin has been getting so oily. I dont know why, shes just paranoid about what sheshould do just in case it comes back before wedding. I told her to use rubbig alchoul. Any ideas???

Re: PIMPLES

Tell her to try a body wash with salicyclic acid... I think Neutrogena makes one.

Re: PIMPLES

They have this stuff at Bath & Body Works called 'burdock root'. It helps keep your skin from getting oily. I use it on my 't' zones under my makeup! She should try it....and then maybe put some powder of her back with a blush brush the day of the wedding.

Good Luck!

Re: PIMPLES

Since you have a while until your wedding, she should go to the dermatologist and get some prescription cream.....A lot of salons also offer back facials...

ditto. She should see a dermatologist. She has time.

Oatmeal soap is also very good for skin problems. It can be purchased through a dermatologist or at a natural foods store (like Wild by Nature).

Also- You said her back has been GETTING oily. So it sounds like she didn't always have this problem. If that's the case, has she made any food or life style changes lately. When I was growing up, I lived, ate and breathed my dancing classes. I also had trouble at that time in my life with pimples on my back (between puberty and the sweating). Now I never get them there.

She can treat the effect by seeing a doctor and using some of the solutions suggested in here. But if she wants to stop it, she also needs to determine what is causing it.

Re: PIMPLES

Tell her to apply Tea Tree oil to the pimples. It clears them up right away.
She may want to get a back facial as well to prevent future back break-outs.

Re: PIMPLES

i am NOT a big fan of tanning salons, but going a few times before an event clears up my skin 1,2,3. Again, i HATE doing it because i know how bad it is, but for the wedding i have already signed up for a few sessions...
