Understand the culprits
-
Body acne: oil + dead skin + friction + sweat.
-
Keratosis pilaris (KP): built-up keratin plugs causing tiny bumps.
The weekly rhythm
-
Daily: gentle cleanse; breathable clothing.
-
2–3× weekly: chemical exfoliation (AHA/BHA or urea 10%).
-
After workouts: quick rinse of sweat zones to limit occlusion.
-
Moisturize: use lactic acid or urea lotions to soften rough texture.
Do & don’t
Do: patch test actives; wash gym gear promptly; keep backpack straps clean.
Don’t: over-scrub (can inflame), layer too many acids, or skip sunscreen on exposed areas.
