Quote from: virtualverny on December 30, 2017, 04:06:24 PMI completely forgot about binder acne!!Widdershins is very right - the less skin your binder covers, the less areas that you will break out in. When I first started to bind, I would break out horribly all over my chest; my advice in that field is to invest in a binder that you can wash very often without it getting loose, and to invest in some acne lotions/body washes (African black soap is pretty cheap and very good for acne in the area a short binder would cover)

The acne I get from binding is very soft (at the risk of sounding gross) and isn't particularly deep, so it's pretty easy to get rid of. Exfoliating is a good way to lessen it; binding causes a lot of sweat and dead skin build up, so if you really don't want any spots at all it's best to just get rid of that dead skin asap.
