Saving My Back

This post is a little more TMI then I normally like to put on here, but I think it's important to bring up because I know I'm not the only girl who has this problem. I've fought on and off with acne my entire life. Right when things start to clear up in one area, they pop up in another. Right around dress fitting time, this area happened to be my back.

I used to have this problem when I played tennis all the time and sweat up a storm, but never just because. While I would love to get "back-cials," or facials for your back, it's just not in my budget. When perusing the skincare section of my local Walmart (I refuse to spend tons on beauty products, except for shampoo and some makeup) I came across Neutrogena's Body Clear Body Wash. I bought a bottle and figured, what the heck this might help. I used it every morning on my back and, if I took another shower at night, I would use it again.

Let me tell you, this product has worked miracles on my back. Now, I'd be lying if I said that I never had one pop up, but it seriously has helped. So much so, that for my bridal portraits, I was nervous at all as to how my back looked in my dress, especially since you can see quite a bit of it.

What tips/tricks do you all use to take care of the breakouts that happen to pop up at the most inconvenient times?
