You may have noticed that the average person is beginning to take skincare more seriously and wants to know what is in their skincare products. Brands are more transparent about the ingredients in their products and isolating active ingredients for spot treatments and making more easily customizable skincare routines. This approach makes it simpler for people to identify the right products for their personal needs.

Salicylic acid has become a big topic of conversation in skincare, and it's known for having numerous benefits, particularly the management of acne. Many companies have salicylic acid spot treatments for the face, but what about other acne-prone body areas? My Vikini's Salicylic Acid Body Wash can help manage acne-prone skin. 

What is Salicylic Acid?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that occurs as a natural compound in plants. In skincare, it's considered a chemical exfoliant that works to clear out the pores, and its most common use is for acne treatment.

How Does Salicylic Acid Work? 

As salicylic acid is oil-soluble, it penetrates deep into the skin to help remove buildup associated with blackheads and whiteheads and has properties that help manage skin redness and swelling, reducing the look of acne, speeding up healing. It's also an effective chemical exfoliant – it helps shed dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin by removing the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together.

Consider starting by using a salicylic acid wash once a week and slowly increasing the days over several weeks.

As you increase how often you use the salicylic acid wash, pay attention to whether or not skin irritation or dryness occurs. While you can use salicylic acid wash can every day, those with sensitive or naturally dry skin may want to use it less often, depending on how the skin reacts. 

Using My Vikini Salicylic Acid Body Wash

My Vikini's Salicylic Acid Body Wash helps treat body acne, hyperpigmentation and acne scarring. This formula contains salicylic acid, an acne medication that treats and prevents body breakouts without drying the skin out.

Once you've tested the product to see how it's tolerated by your skin, regularly wash acne-prone areas, including the bikini area, back, chest, arms and legs. But do not use it over the entire body every day.
