What causes Butt Acne?
Butt acne is a pain in the rear! So what causes it and how can you treat it?
THE TOP 3 CAUSES OF BUTT ACNE ARE
1. Hot Sweaty Clothes
That sweat from your workout or summer heat can dry out over your pores blocking them and trapping the oil inside the pores. Keeping your swimsuit on too long after its wet will have a similar effect on the pores. Combined with dead skin cells this creates a perfect mix for bacterial growth and acne.
2. Tight-fitting Clothes
If you live in yoga pants or activewear, wearing tight jeans or other tight-fitting clothing you could be irritating your hair follicles leading to butt acne breakouts. The tighter the clothing, the more it can push the bacteria that resides on top of your skin into any pores or breaks in the skin.
3. Sitting on that Butt too long
Keeping your butt on that seat too long again leads to sweat, clogged pores and acne.

What is Butt Acne?
Acne on the butt is a little bit different from face acne in that it is normally caused by folliculitis. This is when bacteria infects the hair follicle and is a result of blocked follicles and clogged pores. A buildup of oil trapped within the follicles leads to nasty acne-causing bacteria and red angry spots. These bumps on the top of your skin that are filled with pus can be itchy and uncomfortable.
HOW TO TREAT AND PREVENT BUTT ACNE
1. Shower after your workouts
This will help remove the sweat and any dirt or bacteria that might block those pores. Also avoid wearing your workout clothes too long after your workout or wearing tight-fitting leggings too often. Similarly if you've been swimming or in the hot tub be sure to change into some dry clothing as soon as practical.
2. Use a Clay Mask to clean your pores
Apply a clay mask to draws excess oil out of your pores. This will prevent clogging up your pores and the appearance of acne. Kaolin clay can remove the oil while also removing dirt, grime and germs from your skin. Removing the buildup of sebum (oil) from your pores and any dead skin cells is critical to stopping the acne growth.
3. Apply an antibacterial
Use a natural antibacterial such as coconut oil to treat acne. Coconut oil is high in lauric acid, which helps kill the bacteria that cause acne. When you apply coconut oil not only does it attack the bacteria but it also increases moisture in the skin. This can help reduce the potential for scarring.
4. Reduce inflammation
Reduce inflammation with a natural treatment such as Old Mans Weed. This will take away the swelling and soreness.
5. Moisturize
Apply a natural moisturizer such as Aloe Vera to keep your booty hydrated and smooth.
