Acne is a bothersome and painful skin problem. But the problem can be much worse if you suffer from back acne. Acne on your back can make it hard for you to sleep and can slow the healing.
Though its painful and difficult to take care of, back acne can be treated with many simple home treatments.
Here are some natural cures to quickly get rid of back acne.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
One of the best natural ways to cure acne, is using apple cider vinegar. It stops swelling and the bacteria growth which cause skin breakouts. It also helps even out the acid level of the skin, which is important to keep your skin free of problems.

Finish by putting on a light, water- based moisturizer. Do this 2 or 3 times a day until the acne is fully healed.
Drinking apple cider vinegar every day can help keep your skin healthy from the inside. Add 1 teaspoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and a little raw honey to a glass of warm water and drink it two times a day.
2. Tea Tree Oil
Another great way to treat back acne is with tea tree oil. This essential oil stops germs from spreading and brings down swelling. This helps treat acne. When used on the skin, the oil goes into the skin and helps dry out the acne quickly. It also lessens redness and swelling.
