Curve-hugging anything can be super-flattering, but the minimal personal space between the fabric and your skin traps sweat. And while it's stuck under all that Lycra and polyester, sweat starts to make friends with all the other things on your skin (think: oil, dirt and bacteria). Before you know it, you've created the perfect breeding ground for inflammation (and body acne) under your LBD.

Zeichner recommends swiping your skin with medicated wipes like Origins Spot Remover Acne Treatment Pads, $28.50, before getting dressed to minimize the bacteria that causes back acne.

It's totally normal to reach for your acne-fighting face wash or lotion when you're trying to get rid of back acne, but unfortunately, the active ingredient in these products is tailored to the more sensitive skin (and smaller pores) on your face. Rubbing these weaker concentrations on you body won't do much.

Instead, pick up products that are specifically formulated for chest acne and back acne, like Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Face, Chest & Back Lotion, $10. According to Zeichner, salicylic acid should be 2 percent whereas benzoyl peroxide should hit 10 percent. There's also Proactiv's new Deep Cleansing Body Brush, $45, a long-handled tool that makes it a cinch to treat hard-to-reach breakouts. Use the cleansing head to scrub with your body wash of choice, then when you're out of the shower fasten a treatment pad (like Proactiv's Clear Zone Body Pads, $22), to zap your bacne with salicylic acid.

If you have sensitive skin, your fresh load of laundry could be causing your back acne. Many fabric softeners and dryer sheets contain a waxy softening agent that coats clothing and can also clog pores.

Skip the dryer sheets and ditch fabric softener. Many laundry detergents these days already have fabric softener added to their formula, so doubling up could be too much for your skin. If your bacne breakouts persist, consider looking into more natural, fragrance-free options.

If you're suffering from bacne, chest-ne (yes, chest acne) and breakouts on the tops of your shoulders, it may be time to toss your favorite bra. You want a snug fit for support, but if your bra is too tight, it can trap sweat and bacteria that clog the pores and hair follicles on your chest.

According to lingerie experts, we should be washing our bras in cold water (to retain the power of the elastic) after three or four wears. Don't rely on one or two bras -- have a good six to seven that you can rotate through so you're doing laundry less often. When shopping for new bras, look for breathable materials like cotton to reduce sweat buildup and get fitted by a pro to make sure you're purchasing and wearing the proper size.

You know how sweaty, oily bangs give you those annoying little breakouts along your hairline? In the summertime, your long hair plays the same game. The styling products and oil in your hair sit on your chest, back and shoulders all day long, clogging pores and encouraging breakouts. Try a pretty updo to keep cool and to get rid of back acne.
