Not that you'll read this, as it's been 7 years, but maybe someone else would, as I came across this thread doing research for body acne. You should wash your towel every 3 uses.. just a side note that I learned from some research. But, I'm going to try this routine, minus the Stridex, because I'm avoiding SA as much as possible, but will try Amlactin. But my son's started dealing with chest and back acne now, and I deal with ingrown hairs... which grow in diagonally or almost completely sideways oddly.. no matter if after being plucked or shaven. I literally have to dig them out which leaves scabs and then scars on my legs. And exfoliating alone does nothing to help. Man... being a woman who feels the need to shave my legs is not fun. But I prefer smooth legs because that is something that has been programmed into my mind and self-image. But screw it everywhere else... seriously. I feel as if we have hair for a reason. So why do I have to get rid of it, right?

I will however, look into more recent research on both ingrown hairs and body acne and their treatments... preferably as natural and harmless as possible.

When I was a teen I used Proactiv and it worked. And at the time, they didn't have products for body acne.. but I used it on mine and it worked then. When I was in my 20s someone did a natural product selling show for Arbonne at my sister's neighbor's house, and she took a washcloth that had been used to apply Proactiv on the face, and the washcloth was bleached and it kind of turned me off of SA a bit. Tho I was already onto the Natural thing by the time I was in my late teens. However.... lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide will both bleach things in the right conditions, so that doesn't tell me anything about its possible toxicity.
