Uh, this is embarassing, but I have clogged pores on my breasts. I wash, really I do! Does anything get rid of them?

| Hey, it happens to the best of us, esp. in this hot, humid weather. Actually, I've been using these toner pads from Peter Thomas Roth on my face every morning--- they are called Gentle Correction Pads (tho there is a slightly stronger version called Max Correction Pads that I think would be good too) and they contain salicylic acid, glycolic acid, witch hazel, aloe, green tea, etc. Anyway, the pads are big and thick, so after I use one on my face in the morning I use it on my chest and cleavage too and I haven't had any clogged pores since, so this stuff might be helpful to you too! |

| Try using a body scrub or a mesh sponge with your body wash for exfoliation. |

I would be sure to cleanse twice daily. I wash in the shower and then I also later that day wipe the area (and back) with Clearasil pads. But I am sure any type of cleansing pad would work.
I also suggest a leave on BHA treatment. |

| Tooinvolved--do you wear sunscreen around that area? that happened to me a few weeks ago, though it was more on chest area. i wasn't cleaning properly there so now i use a cleansing oil and then follow up with a regular cleanser on that area and haven't had a problem. |

| Use shower gloves. They look like gloves (fingers and all) but they are made with a loofah like exfoliating material and they work! I use them everytime I shower (with shower gel) and no body acne whatsoever. I also use a brush on my back. They are cheap and easy to use. They sell them at drugstores and places like Target. |

| Hi, I second the rec from Anna in Sweden. Another place you can get those gloves (or at least you used to) is from The Body Shop. |

Try looking for Keratosis Pilaris. What happens is that the oil in the pores, instead of exfoliating away easily, hardens around the hair follicle and forms a plug.
It's supposed to be rare on the breasts, but I wonder if it's because us sufferers keep it hidden because of embarrassment.
I've had it since I was a teenager (and am now in my 40s) and couldn't work out what I was doing to keep the problem going... |

| I had some too and used my Clarisonic with the body attachment on it. I used facial cleanser, not the body polish. They were gone in a week! |

| I also go over my decolletage with my Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha/Beta peel pads after I do my face and hands. The salicylic acid will unplug your pores. |

| What ever you would use on your face can be used there too. I use stridex pads on my body in the warmer months. It works well. |

| I agree with all the suggestions to exfoliate with a BHA product. I like St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub. Also, be sure to wear a tight, uplifting bra to prevent the pores from being further stretched and open to clogs. |

| I get this problem every summer, but the last and now is not happening. I use Clarisonic body brush in the shower, I use AHA 12% Lac-Hydrin and once in awhile I use my at-home microdermabrasion machine. Dermawand will help also. |
