Body Wash for Acne Prone Skin?

[tsalagimama]

I've always had great skin on my face, but the corollary is crappy skin everywhere else. I get breakouts on my forearms, breasts, knees, and butt. I also have keratosis pilaris on my upper arms.

Is there an all-natural exfoliating body wash and moisturizer I can try? Currently, I use Dr. Bronner's Almond Castile Soap, which does help. I use Jergens as a moisturizer, but would prefer something more organic.

I use OCM on my face, and Dr. Bronner's on my hair, with tea tree oil as needed.


Thanks!

I woud try mixing a true pure African Black soap until it becomes a liquid and use that. Almost all other "body washes" or liquid soaps have SLS/SLES in them that cause most people to break out (and they are bad for eczema).

For moisturizer I would suggest a pure body butter, they are natural and so yummy for the skin. I tend to love shea mixed with kokium, mango, cocoa butter in any blend.

BTW if you are using OCM on your face and like it, have you thought of mixing the oils that you like for your face with sea salt? This would actually serve to cover all your bases, you could use it as a wash, exfoilator and a moisturizer.
