SEXY BACK

Melissa Elvin-Jensen, Clinique

Australia’s national head of

education, on tackling bacne

Cause: Bacne can be attributed

to hormonal changes, inadequate

cleansing/exfoliation, or a possible

reaction to medications. It can be more

noticeable when exposed to extreme

heat or exercise, or where cleansing

is difficult on the hard-to-reach back

area as oil and sweat can clog pores.

Who: It tends to be more prevalent

in people with oilier skin types and

those undergoing hormonal changes.

Do: Keep the pores as clean and

clear as possible.

Don’t: Scrub the area, which will

spread the infection, and definitely

don’t squeeze.

Try: Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions

Cleansing Bar, $22. Use twice daily

to clear and prevent future breakouts.
