Does everyone here with body acne moisturizer their bodies? Does it worsen the acne or improve it?

[Lilylily89]

I don't moisturize any where I put the BP on my body. I had pretty moderate to severe back acne when I was 16 until I was around 20. My routine consist of a shower at night, wait 5 minutes for back to dry, apply 1-2 pumps of BP, and air dry for 10-15 minutes before doing anything else. I noticed though, that when I sleep in a tank top and my back is exposed, I may get a bump after a day or two but when I wear a t-shirt or anything that covers my back, I don't get any. I also have long hair and I tie it up when I sleep to keep off my back and out of my face. Hopes this helps

PS, the BP doesn't dry out my back nor does it cause my skin to darken. Also, I didn't start exfoliating (very gently too I might add!) my back with a loofah until a couple of months back. At first it caused some acne but after a few days, it went back to being clear. Just remember to be gentle.

i do not moisteurize anywhere on my body including my face. i hate having oily stuff on my face. my zinc oxide cream has jojoba, cocoa butter, and chamomile. not only does it keep my clear but it is a natural moisteurizer.

lchance23, I was thinking of trying zinc oxide because a few people recommended it. What cream would you recommend for sensitive, oily skin? All I could find it in was diaper rash powder. Is there a zinc oxide ointment/ cream specifically for the face?

i only moisturize the part where i don't have acne because i'm scared it may irritate it... so i avoid my upper back and my chest
