Acne isn’t just a face problem anymore. Back acne, chest acne, and arm acne are more common than ever, thanks to heat, sweat, tight clothing, and hormonal stress. But the biggest mistake people make? Over-scrubbing, over-cleansing, and using harsh chemical products that destroy the skin barrier.
When the barrier is damaged, your skin becomes sensitive, inflamed, and unable to heal naturally. Ayurveda calls this disturbance pitta aggravation + clogged pores. The goal is not to blast the pimple but to restore balance.
A good herbal acne lotion does three things:
- Reduces inflammation so the redness and swelling calm down.
- Kills acne-causing bacteria naturally with herbs like neem and turmeric.
- Heals scars and dark spots so you’re not left with marks.
For body acne, sweat is the trigger. Switch to breathable fabrics, shower right after workouts, avoid using heavy body lotions, and use herbal exfoliants twice a week. Detox herbs like tricatu, manjistha, and neem help clear the blood and reduce the frequency of breakouts.
The key is consistency. Acne heals slowly but surely when you treat it from both sides — skin + body.
