A little-discussed topic that can affect many of us, pimples on the body can be difficult to treat. Whether they're on the back, arms, or buttocks, these pimples and blackheads, like those that appear on the face, often have the same origin: inflammation or infection of a hair follicle.
Since the appearance of a pimple is linked to a local infection of this follicle, generally caused by bacteria, areas of the body often covered by clothing provide a particularly fertile ground for their development. Heat and perspiration, especially during summer or after intense physical activity, can also aggravate the problem by clogging pores and promoting inflammation.
Sound familiar? Our experts have put together some tips to help you quickly get rid of spots on your buttocks and back. Follow the guide!

Exfoliate the body every week to limit imperfections
Just like your face, dead skin cells can build up on your skin's surface and contribute to clogged pores. To prevent this, we recommend exfoliating your body once a week, paying special attention to areas with imperfections, such as your back or buttocks.
In addition to ridding the skin of dead cells, exfoliation also helps smooth skin texture and limit the appearance of ingrown hairs. We suggest using the Body Melting Cream Scrub from the Rituel Douceur range. Enriched with pistachio and sweet almond extracts, it gently exfoliates the skin thanks to its micro-flecked almond shell, leaving the skin soft and perfectly nourished.
Finally, if you regularly get diaper rash, avoid comedogenic body moisturizers and be sure to cleanse your skin thoroughly after shampooing and conditioning to remove any oily residue that can clog pores.
Additionally, clothing that is too tight or made from poorly breathable materials can also promote the appearance of imperfections by creating an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. Therefore, choose loose-fitting clothing and underwear and breathable materials such as cotton and linen.
Finally, after a workout, it is essential to quickly change your clothes and take a shower to remove sweat that could clog pores and cause breakouts.
