What is acne?

Are you bothered by blemishes, red bumps, or clogged pores on your back, shoulders, or chest?

You are definitely not alone. Acne on the body, especially on the back, is also called Bacne. Although it is often hidden under clothing, we at Glowlie understand that these blemishes can make you feel insecure, especially in the summer or when wearing revealing clothing. We believe in an honest approach to real skin problems: we will explain what Bacne is, why the skin on your body reacts differently, and how we can work together to restore that healthy, even glow.

How to recognize?

Body acne differs from irritation after shaving; it often involves deeper blockages in areas where the skin is thicker. Pay particular attention to these signs:


  • Inflamed bumps:
    Red, sensitive raised areas on the skin that often appear on the back, shoulders, or chest.
  • Blackheads and blockages:
    Small black or white dots caused by an excess of sebum and dead skin cells.
  • Uneven texture:
    Skin that feels rough and takes longer to heal after a breakout.
  • Scars or spots:
    Dark or red discolorations that remain after blemishes have cleared.

The cause

Why blemishes appear on your body
Body acne is not caused by a lack of hygiene, but by a sequence of reactions where sebum and dead skin cells block the pores. These are the main factors:

Excessive sebum production:
The back and chest have many sebaceous glands that produce oil to keep the skin supple. When too much sebum is produced, the pore becomes clogged, creating a breeding ground for blemishes.


Build-up of dead skin cells:
Old skin cells that are not removed in time form a 'cap' on top of your pores. This prevents sebum from escaping, leading to blackheads and subcutaneous inflammation on the back and shoulders.

Sweat and friction (Sweat-trapping):
Tight sportswear or backpacks can press sweat and bacteria against the skin. This 'smothers' the skin, causing pores to become inflamed more quickly and the texture to become uneven.


Product residue in the shower:
Residue from shampoo or conditioner that runs down your back while rinsing can leave a greasy film. These particles get trapped under the dead skin layer, which stimulates the formation of Bacne.

The solution

Restore your skin's balance
To effectively combat impurities on your body, you need to free the pores from dead skin cells and accumulated sebum.


Deep cleansing in hard-to-reach areas:
The Back Exfoliator is your secret weapon against bacne. This tool allows you to physically remove deep blockages on your back without damaging the skin or leaving greasy residues that can cause new inflammation.


Remove the source of impurities:
The Glowlie Exfoliating Glove works with water to 'erase' the plugs of dead skin cells and sweat residue. By removing this blockage, you prevent bacteria from accumulating and causing inflammation on your shoulders and chest.


Free from product residues:
Choose a 'clean' method that leaves no chemical filters or oils. Our approach ensures that pores do not become re-clogged by shower products, allowing your skin to regain that even, healthy glow.

The difference of scrubbing!

Good to know...

Did you know that different skin conditions often go hand in hand?

 It's very common for skin prone to blemishes or Bacne to also experience Keratosis Pilaris or Strawberry Legs. This is because the underlying cause of these issues is often the same: impaired shedding of dead skin cells and an accumulation of sebum or keratin in the pores.
