According to\u00a0research,\u00a09.4%\u00a0of\u00a0the world\u2019s population has\u00a0acne\u00a0in\u00a0one form or\u00a0another. While it\u2019s a\u00a0fairly common condition, it\u00a0still causes many to\u00a0lose confidence in\u00a0themselves and hide behind closed doors, including celebrities. Instead of\u00a0losing hope, it\u2019s better to\u00a0take steps to\u00a0treat the cause rather than the symptoms and be\u00a0acne free.\n

Bright Side\u00a0is\u00a0listing some of\u00a0the most straightforward tips to\u00a0help control your body acne and let the sun shine on\u00a0your bare skin. And as\u00a0a\u00a0bonus,\u00a0Kendall Jenner, Brie Larson, and\u00a0Natalie Portman\u00a0reveal their acne-fighting tricks too\n

1. Don\u2019t let sweat sit on\u00a0your skin, take a\u00a0shower.\n

 \n

\n
\"\"\n\n

Workouts help anyone with\u00a0acne\u00a0a\u00a0lot, considering the fact that you expel toxins via sweat as\u00a0well. But the one mistake that can exacerbate body or\u00a0back acne is\u00a0letting the sweat sit on\u00a0the skin.\u00a0Shower\u00a0off the sweat and grime as\u00a0soon as\u00a0you can, and remember to\u00a0give your workout clothes a\u00a0good wash as\u00a0well.\n

2. Make exfoliation a\u00a0part of\u00a0your body\u2019s skincare.\n
\n
\"\"\n\n

A\u00a0gentle exfoliating scrub with\u00a0salicylic acid\u00a0can help deep clean your skin and wash off sweat, dirt, and anything that is\u00a0clogging pores and causing even more acne. Plus,\u00a0exfoliation\u00a0sloughs off dead skin cells too, renewing skin in\u00a0the process.\n

3. Switch to\u00a0breathable fabrics and loose fits.\n
\n
\"\"\n\n

Tight-fitting clothes can further irritate your skin by\u00a0rubbing against your pores and also trapping sweat and grime against the skin. Try wearing\u00a0loose-fitting\u00a0clothes and choose natural fabrics over synthetic ones to\u00a0give your skin more breathing room.\n

4. Keep your long hair off your back.\n
\n
\"\"\n\n

Long hair on\u00a0your\u00a0back\u00a0can also add dirt and grime to\u00a0your back, prompting painful acne on\u00a0the shoulders and back. If\u00a0you are wearing a\u00a0backless blouse or\u00a0dress, it\u2019s a\u00a0good idea to\u00a0keep your hair off your back. Also, don\u2019t let shampoos and conditioners run down your back when you shower because these can clog pores as\u00a0well.\n

5. Choose skincare products based on\u00a0the ingredients.\n
\n
\"\"\n\n

You may love a\u00a0skincare brand\u2019s packaging, ease of\u00a0availability, or\u00a0even the scent, but when it\u00a0comes to\u00a0acne-prone skin, you need to\u00a0be\u00a0looking at\u00a0the labels for ingredients. Other than salicylic acid, which we\u00a0have already mentioned, products with\u00a0tea tree oil, white willow bark, and more can aid in\u00a0reducing acne.\n

6. Make sure you stay hydrated at\u00a0all times.\n

 \n

\n
\"\"\n\n

One way to\u00a0help your body fight acne is\u00a0to\u00a0increase your\u00a0water intake. This not only keeps your skin hydrated and helps you avoid excess oil production, but it\u00a0can also support immune function. This, in\u00a0turn, helps the body flush out certain bacteria that are thought to\u00a0cause acne.\n

7. Eat more anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant foods.\n

 \n

\n
\"\"\n\n

Since acne is\u00a0closely linked to\u00a0inflammation, one of\u00a0the simplest ways to\u00a0tackle it\u00a0is\u00a0by\u00a0adding anti-inflammatory foods to\u00a0your diet. Berries, certain nuts, whole grains, and beans help reduce\u00a0inflammation\u00a0in\u00a0the body and thus can reduce acne. Here\u2019s a\u00a0complete anti-inflammatory\u00a0food list.\n

8. Do\u00a0not pop, pick, or\u00a0scratch the zits.\n

 \n

\n
\"\"\n\n

Popping a\u00a0zit is\u00a0not a\u00a0way to\u00a0cure it\u00a0faster, and might just leave you with sores, scars, and even an\u00a0infection. Resist the urge to\u00a0scratch\u00a0and pop the zits on\u00a0your body. In\u00a0case the itching is\u00a0bad, visit a\u00a0dermatologist to\u00a0get a\u00a0topical spray or\u00a0ointment for better and faster healing.\n

9. Remember to\u00a0use non-comedogenic sun protection.\n

 \n

\n
\"\"\n\n

The sun may be\u00a0good for your health, given it\u00a0helps your body make\u00a0vitamin\u00a0D, but prolonged exposure for your acne-prone skin will only lead to\u00a0more inflammation. Invest in\u00a0a\u00a0good\u00a0sunscreen\u00a0and make sure it\u2019s non-comedogenic (something that does not clog pores) and that is\u00a0oil-free too.\n

10. Make zinc and low\u00a0GI foods part of\u00a0your diet.\n

 \n

\n
\"\"\n\n

Research shows that\u00a0zinc-rich\u00a0foods can reduce acne-related inflammation and also help your skin produce just the right amount of\u00a0oil and sebum. Foods like spinach, pumpkin seeds, oysters, and wheat germ are natural sources of\u00a0zinc. Foods with a\u00a0low glycemic index (GI) also help in\u00a0reducing acne, so\u00a0add fresh fruit and vegetables to\u00a0your diet.\n

Bonus: tips from celebrities\n
\n
\"\"\n\n

Brie Larson also got pictures taken with a\u00a0zit on\u00a0her face and even poked fun at\u00a0herself on\u00a0Instagram. As\u00a0far as\u00a0acne control goes, Larson\u00a0believes\u00a0in\u00a0eating healthy, practices gua sha, and loves sheet masks. She also goes sans makeup at\u00a0home, giving her skin a\u00a0breather.\n

\n
\"\"\n\n
\n
\n

Kendall Jenner\u00a0became the target of\u00a0trolls when she stepped out on\u00a0the red carpet for the 2018 Golden Globes with pimples on\u00a0her face. But Jenner thinks acne should never hold you back and now has a\u00a0handle on\u00a0her skin.\u00a0Here\u00a0are all the products she uses, plus a\u00a0recipe for her DIY avocado, oatmeal, honey, and lavender mask.\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\n\n

On\u00a0the other hand,\u00a0Natalie Portman\u00a0was besieged with adult acne. To\u00a0combat this, she simply\u00a0cut\u00a0dairy and eggs from her diet, and it\u00a0worked like a\u00a0charm for her.\n
