Transcript

If your body looks like this, this, or this, you don't just have acne. You have fungal body acne. I'm a Korean pharmacist with cosmetic certification. Stop putting regular body lotion on it. Fungal body acne is not caused by bacteria, but by a fungus called Malassezia. This fungus feeds on the oils and fatty acids in your skin and body lotion, so excess body lotion can make your breakouts explode. Here is your 4-step checklist. 1. Nizoral Shampoo. First, this is the most important thing! Use Nizoral shampoo which kills fungus, as a body wash. Leave it on for 5 minutes to kill the fungus. 2. BHA. Second, spray BHA to unclog and clear out excess sebum from deep inside your pores. 3. Azelaic Acid. Third, apply Azelaic acid cream as spot care to reduce inflammation and dark acne scars. 4. Oil-Free Skincare. Finally, hydrate ONLY with oil-free skincare to protect your skin barrier without feeding the fungus. Hope that was helpful and follow this unnie. Bye!
