Whats the best way to cure or help treat and then prevent acne on your back and chest?

My friend has back acne. Her mom told her to put crisco shortening on her back. She puts it on every day when she gets out of the shower. I noticed her back clearing up after about 1 week!





She use to put makeup on her back when we went out, now she doesn't have to. It's not completly gone yet but it is much better after only a week





Crisco is nothing more than vegetable oils, so it is perfectly safe to use. I think a lot of people mistake these Kitchen products, such as natural oils, etc., as being cooking ingrediants, and nothing more, when in fact, many of these products are all natural, perfectly safe, and effective skin care products as well. In fact, the oils that make up Crisco; soybean oil, and cotton seed oil, are known to be great for skin, doing everything from moisturizing, to regenerating skin, to healing scars.





It wasn't long ago that people would have thought someone using olive oil on their skin was crazy. Now cosmetic companies are picking up on the benefits, and including olive oil in their products. Remember that the more expensive a product is, does not mean it works better. All you are usually paying for is the name, and nothing more. extremely inexpensive products like olive oil, or especially Crisco, as its VERY cheap, can be as effective, or more effective than even the most expensive cream or lotion. In fact, I believe natural oils are far, far more effective than even the most expensive, high end lotion or cream, because they contain all of the nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc., that are skin need, and they contain it naturally, along with many other great things for our skin, rather than having it added, or injected into a cream by man; and usually in the man made lotions and creams, the vitamins are man made as well. There is a natural form of vitamin E, and a man made form. The kind you usually find it lotions with added vitamin E, is the man made kind. I my opinion not nearly as effective. as using a product like olive oil, or even crico, which contains all natural vitamin E. Speaking of, have you ever looked that the nutritional facts of Crisco. It may not be the best thing to eat due to trans fats, but it has 15% vitamin E, which is great for skin.Whats the best way to cure or help treat and then prevent acne on your back and chest?
ProActiv actually does live up to its claims on tv and the internet. If you use it even when you dont have a problem, it will prevent any problem areas from happening. For your back and chest use the body wash and pads.





Please keep these things in mind when using ProActiv however.


1--You need to use this product consistantly on a regular basis to work well.


2--Follow the instructions that are listed


3--Realize that when you first start, your acne may seem to worsen in the first couple days as your pores are unclogged and exposed. However by the end of the week, you should notice an improvement for your skin.





Hope it works out for you...good luck!
