With the heat, pollution and erratic rainfall, our skin has been going through turbulent times. As if zits on our face weren’t enough, now we’ve got to deal with bacne (i.e. back acne) too! These unsightly eruptions are literally a pain in the back. Taking showers immediately after exercising, wearing breathable fabrics etc. are viable cures, but we need something that will give us relief immediately! That’s exactly where these products come in handy.
