The long haul to getting ready for your wedding can be complicated (or swimsuit season, for that matter). You're working out to look hot for your big day, but all the sweat is making you break out all over your body. To make matters worse you have a backless wedding dress. Yikes!!! What are you going to do?
For starters do not stop working out. All that exercise is great for relieving stress. Make sure to wear a sports bra and top that are made of wicking fabric and to take a shower immediately after exercising.
When you shower, use use Cetaphil or some other antibacterial cleanser on your back. Sugar user karebear recommends Murad Clarifying Spray, and user suzanne likes Zaperella's Bionic Blast by Benefit. TeamSugar just told me about the Body Squad Treatment by Avon.
If your problem persists, visiting a dermatologist might prove helpful. Ask your doc about Clindareach, a topical antibiotic designed with a special applicator for those hard to reach spots. This product does require a prescription.
Another way to fight the good fight against bacne, is a back facial (should this be called a "bacial?"). Many spas now offer this treatment and you can often buy a package of treatments for a discounted rate. Sorry to say, I think more than one treatment might be in order to really get the acne under control.

2ugh i hate bacne but ill admit it is a prob that is hard to get rid of
3back facials are wonderful! I even got my dad to try it and even though he would never admit it, he loves them! I may go as far to say that they're better than facials... so relaxing!
4I'm telling you, for the back, use good ole rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball twice per day. It's disgusting how black it is when you are done. Of course, alcohol is too harsh on your face, but the back seems to take it ok. It will really dry you out, but after a few weeks, there will definitely be an improvement.
5LOL @ bacial! hehe
I'll have to check out these products...
6Rubbing alchol, or spray yourself with Bactine and wipe it off with a tissue.
7Use neutrogena body wash!
Works really well.
