Gently cleanse and refresh hard-to-reach areas of your back
One of the hardest parts about taking a bath or shower is when it comes time to wash your back. It is virtually impossible to wash your entire back without some sort of assisting device. Usually people opt for clumsy brushes or sponges on the end of a stick because they are traditionally what is used for cleansing ones back. Even with these gadgets it is difficult to do a decent job of washing, the areas cleaned are hit-or-miss, and you are also forced to do a lot of reaching.
Scrub and clean your entire back without straining
An ideal scrubber should be easy to use, clean hard-to-reach places of your back, scrubbing your entire back without contorting yourself, cleaning and exfoliating at the same time and leaving your skin feeling soft and refreshed.
Adding length and angulation to handles makes a scrubber more flexible and convenient.
Exfoliating back skin, while massaging can improve circulation.
Loofah with its natural fibres can be used to stimulate circulation, deeply cleans the pores and gently rub away dead skin. You can use your favorite body soap applied to Loofah, then rinse thoroughly and remove all soap.
Acne on back and the appearance industry
Being preoccupied with appearance, the acne on back sufferer usually have a negative self image, and may develop psychological problems.
Because the color, texture, and appearance of the skin, are important physical factors contributing to outer beauty; and when many people are more concerned with physical beauty, though inner beauty is more pleasing to the mind, real beauty would cease to matter. Needless to say that, it is not a person’s skin that makes them attractive but a combination of all the unique characteristics that they are.
The media, and television in particular, actively promote levels of attractiveness related to appearance and particular physical properties. Attractiveness has thus shaped people attitudes in favor of physical beauty in many life aspects, such as employment, social opportunities, friendship, s*xual behavior, and marriage. The media transmit messages concerning physical beauty, perfection and disfigurement, and usually offer suggestions and practical advice as to how the influence of these aspects can be reduced or altered. As they are promoting certain products, they are creating markets for advertisers at the same time. the media have propagated the idea that perfection is a normal thing in society and that those who are unattractive can easily gain this supposedly ‘normal’ appearance.
The concept of body image defined as our perception of the way that others see us, is therefore affected by any physical changes to the way that we look.
As acne develops in adolescence, a time when people are generally most sensitive about their appearance; symptoms such as depression or social anxiety reflect their real concern over body image.
The costs of treatment may also complicate the problem and can cause great distress.
The visibility of acne on back may attract attention in certain social situations, thus making the individual feel that they can’t keep their condition private or personal.The sufferer may find that some people react negatively towards them or treat them differently because of the way that they look.
Negative misconceptions about acne are still there; some people still think it is associated with a person’s inability to ‘properly take care of themselves or a lack of cleanliness and reactions to this can range from curiosity to rejection therefore, acne sufferers become socially withdrawn...to be continued.
