When it comes to skin care, there’s one part of your body you’re probably overlooking your butt. But your booty is susceptible to a few different skin conditions, from acne to stretch marks to cellulite, so it’s time to start paying attention to your backside.
A number of brands have even dropped butt-specific skin care products, making it easier than ever to care for your butt.
The most common butt skin care problems and how to deal with them:
1/ Acne
Buttne is one of the most common skin care issues dermatologists see. “It’s created by plugged pores that create pimples and cysts that go deeper than what occurs on the face,”.
The number one thing you can do to prevent buttne is to avoid wearing tight clothing whenever possible and shower as soon as you’re done exercising or sweating.
Exfoliate using a loofah, or a mild exfoliating wash helps get rid of dead skin cells and dirt that could contribute to clogged follicles and infection.
All the best skincare regimes start with a good detox. Formulated with purifying volcanic ash from Jeju Island’s Hallasan Volcano, this sheet mask for your bum will help you regulate sebum over-production and get rid of those pesky clogged pores on your butt.
Turn your booty frown upside down with a smooth, clean butt, thanks to our "Purifying Butt Mask". A light and natural exfoliant that gently buffs your skin, revealing your butt’s naturally glorious glow!
2/ Cellulite
Fibers hold fat in place, but poor skin structure caused by hormones, genetics, smoking, lack of exercise, and poor diet all play a role in breaking down the network of fibers, causing the fat to move to the surface of your skin and create the dimpling known as cellulite.
If you are wondering how to get a clear bum? Take our suggestion and start dry-brushing your bum as your life depends on it to minimize those dreaded cellulite problems. Use a brush with bristles made out of natural fiber and scrub in circular motions on dry skin. The best time to do it is before a shower. Along with getting rid of dry skin, body brushing helps tighten skin, promotes cell renewal and increases blood circulation in the area.
Our "Smoothing Butt Mask" featuring the naturally acidic juices of Jeju Island tangerines is an excellent tool to help you combat cellulite. Citric acid, found in citrus fruits, contains natural acids known as ‘alpha hydroxy acids’ or ‘AHAs’ as they are commonly known in skincare marketing. These acids have been proven to gently peel away the surface of your skin, so that new skin cells can regenerate, resulting in a more even skin texture.
3/ Stretch marks
If you have stretch marks, you’re not alone. More than 70% of adults have them. They can result from rapid or extreme weight gain and/or loss or just from normal growth spurts. They are also very commonly seen when the skin is stretched from pregnancy.
Treatment for stretch marks can be costly and is not always effective.
Creams, gels, lotions, and cosmetic surgery have all been proposed as treatments for stretch marks, although there is little medical evidence to support the effectiveness of such treatments.
