Most of us associate a spotty back with guys, but women suffer from this too. During the summer months we sweat more, especially on our backs, and this can lead to blocked pores and spots. As it's one of the hardest places to physically scrub this area can become neglected, even though it's often on show in the summer. Noella Gabriel, director of product and treatment development at Elemis says, "I would recommend changing your body wash to a more medicated wash as using a product with a high detergent can strip the skin, increase oil flow which will feed into the problem area. It's very important to use a wash with low foam and with healing extracts, for example our Wild Lavender Shower which will help keep the back from a build up of sweat, and help replenish and balance the skin."
