In our lives that parade at 100 an hour, the time granted to our hair can quickly be reduced to sorrow. Between the shampoo, the detangling, the hair mask and finally drying or brushing, time is running out and we tend to boost certain steps that can be fatal for our skin.
Remember, hair health goes through simple gestures made with care: a double shampoo by massaging the scalp, the application of a gentle detangling to facilitate the styling and the installation of a hair mask at least once a week for 5 minutes minimum. Always to save time, most of us do this routine in the shower. And it is at this precise moment, without knowing it, that we commit the error which promotes the bin bin phenomenon: the appearance of pimples in the back.
The Bacné, contraction of “back acne”, affects approximately 15 to 20% of adolescents and young adults, but this disorder can persist or appear in adults up to 30% of the population according to studies published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (JCAD) in 2023. This form of acne located on the back is often caused by an occlusion of pores, exacerbated by perspiration, Clothes, and in particular by hair care residues.
Dr. Sachetti, specialist in aesthetic care, points out the most frequent error: wash your back before applying its hair care. By proceeding in this order, detailed and masks – rich in oils, silicones, butters or waxes – leave residues flowing on the skin and clog pores. Result: appearance of comedons and pimples, especially if the skin is already subject to acne or if you sweat a lot.
To limit this risk, simply adopt the right gestures. First, tie your hair when the treatment poses to avoid direct contact with the back. Then rinse your body last, after having eliminated the mask or detangling of your hair well. Do not hesitate to use a soft shower gel or a suitable pH cleaner to effectively remove the residues. Finally, remember to regularly wash your sportswear or pajamas that touch the back after applying hair care.
A simple reorganization of your shower routine can therefore make all the difference. Taking care to rinse your body after your hair, you preserve the health of your skin while keeping dream hair. A small gesture that changes everything.
