Thanksgiving means one thing for your skin: stress + sugar + skipped routines. If you’re acne‑prone, the result often shows up fast—especially on body zones like your chest, back and shoulders. Late nights, heavy meals and inconsistent skincare combine to trigger inflammation, oil production and clogged pores.
This guide breaks down how to keep your skin stable without skipping the celebration.
Holiday Acne Triggers to Watch For
-
High sugar, salt and dairy intake ramps up inflammation and sebum production
-
Stress from travel, cooking or hosting spikes cortisol, worsening acne
-
Less sleep reduces cell turnover and increases skin imbalance
-
Tight clothes or reused fabrics trap oil and bacteria
-
Skipping body cleansing after cooking, sweating or lounging builds acne‑causing layers
Common Mistake: People protect their face, forget their body. That’s when back and chest breakouts hit hardest.
1. Cleanse Smart Before and After the Big Day
Use the Truly Clear Acne Bar on chest, shoulders, back, and face if needed.
Use the Swirl Scrubber to reach back areas and gently exfoliate without friction.
2. Apply Your Leave‑On Treatments Immediately
After towel‑drying, apply your spot treatments to both face and body.
Don't let a skipped treatment session cost you a breakout cluster the next day.
3. Use Hydrocolloid Acne Patches—Before It Becomes a Full Breakout
Apply Truly Clear Hydrocolloid Acne Patches at the first sign of redness or swelling.
Why?
-
Ultra thin, invisible
-
Works under makeup
-
Seals bacteria out
-
Draws pus and oil out fast
4. Fabric & Friction Fixes That Matter
Don’t wear the same shirt or sweater all day and night.
Change out of sweaty or layered clothes.
Backpacks, aprons, and couch naps all add friction to already-triggered skin.
5. Holiday Build-Up Stress = Skin Fallout
Even before the big day, your skin’s under pressure.
-
Family tension
-
Travel deadlines
-
Last-minute shopping
-
Hosting pressure
All of that shows up on your face and chest—especially if you’re already breakout-prone.
