Common conclusions

You should start taking shower after working out because letting the sweat and dirt sit on your skin after a workout can be a big contributor to back acne. So you should take a shower as soon as you can after a workout.

You should start exfoliating your skin because exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells. Whether your acne is mild or more severe, regular exfoliation will smooth and soften the skin and brighten your complexion. So you should use a gentle exfoliating scrub with ingredients such as salicylic acid to remove extra dirt and oils from your skin because this can help reduce the amount of dead skin that could clog pores.

You should go for

You should keep your hair off your back because long hair may be adding oil and dirt to the skin on your back, causing acne breakouts. Start washing your hair regularly and put it in a bun or ponytail during sweat sessions.

You should start eating a healthy, balanced diet with lots of vegetables, fruits, lean protein and whole grains because several studies suggest that following a healthy diet can help prevent and treat acne.

You should start using tea tree oil because tea tree oil is rich in terpinene-4-ol which makes it significantly more effective in treating acne than commercial options like benzoyl peroxide. Before applying the oil wash your face with a gentle cleanser for acne-prone skin and pat it dry.
