Are any of your clients plagued with bothersome 'backne'--back acne? It's something that can be covered up (and maybe ignored) during much of the year, but with body-baring season around the corner, don't give them the cold shoulder--help them out.

On April 24 at the W Hotel in Hollywood, Murad Skincare invited makeup artists for an afternoon of education and problem-solving. Working behind-the-scenes to make their clients look their best in front of the camera, makeup artists, just like hairdressers, will search out solutions to problems that plague their clientele. When the discussion turned to body acne, specifically on the back, shoulders and neck, Murad's Julieta Vidal-Lubin had some expert advice on how to treat it plus a product recommendation to target this area--Murad’s Clarifying Body Spray. It has Retinol, Salicylic Acid, and bacteria agents to clear pores and fight body blemishes. It also features a 360 degree spray which means even while holding it upside down and over the shoulder, it distributes evenly and easily to treat those hard-to-reach areas on the back.
So, when a client complains about breakouts, be armed with some information to help put their back on the track to clearer skin.
