Afternoon beauty fix: A simple treatment for shoulder acne

I have acne on my shoulders. Do I need to stop carrying a purse, or is there some sort of treatment to make it go away? Body breakouts are more common than not, and our guess is that you would rather treat them than trade in shoulder bags for a wardrobe full of cargo pants, right? Thought so. Treat your body as you would your face—blackheads and dry skin exist all over—and commit to thrice-weekly exfoliation. Try a gentle body wash with Pure + Simple‘s Exfoliating Body Mitt ($5, pureandsimple.ca) to re-create your own Korean body scrub. Use it to slough off dry skin and open up pores for a deep cleanse, improved blood circulation, and an all-over detoxification.
