The back scrubber/back brush is a must have for anyone suffering from non-inflamed back acne. If your acne is red, pink, or has a red/pink base, it is considered inflamed, and scrubbing over the top of it will only make it worse. The back scrubber is great for blackheads, whiteheads, and anyone that has a grainy texture, or is prone to acne breakouts. The brush can be used wet or dry, every day, or twice a day, as long as it doesn't feel too abrasive. If your skin begins to feel irritated, it's an indicator you are over doing it. So, if you have been scrubbing twice a day, take it down to once a day. If it still feels irritated, take it down to every other day, and so on. The bristles on your brush should be soft - firm bristles are not better. The plastic back scrubbers with synthetic bristles are less likely to harbor bacteria. Nothing fancy here, your local dollar store back brush will do just fine. To schedule a consultation with an
acne specialist please contact the clinic.
