Bye Bye Butt’ne: How to Keep Your Tush Peachy Keen (Treat Butt Acne and Bumps)
Let’s talk about a topic no one wants to bring up, but everyone deals with: butt acne. Yep that’s right, butt’ne, booty bumps, mystery dots, and dry, irritated skin on your tush. It’s more common than you think! Especially with summer around the corner and more time spent in heat-trapping clothes, sweaty gym sets, or sitting on your bum for long hours.
The good news is that there’s a very simple routine that can help you get a smooth, glowy booty just in time for shorts season. And it starts with three game-changing products we swear by: Megababe's Le Tush Clarifying Butt Mask, Wildpier Deep Exfoliating Glove, and Huha Underwear. Let’s break it down.
Why Do I Get Acne on My Butt in the First Place?
Butt acne isn’t technically acne, it’s usually a mix of clogged hair follicles (folliculitis), friction bumps, sweat buildup, and dead skin. Tight leggings, long periods of sitting, synthetic underwear, and poor exfoliation can all make it so much worse. If your tush feels rough, looks bumpy, or randomly breaks out, don’t freak, it’s totally treatable. Here’s how:
Step 1: Smooth Things Out with Wildpier™ Deep Exfoliating Glove
Before we treat anything, exfoliating is essential.
The Wildpier Deep Exfoliating Glove is your go-to tool for this step. Unlike your average body scrub, this glove is handmade with a traditional weaving method that deeply exfoliates while being gentle enough to use regularly. It physically removes dead skin, clears out blocked follicles, and helps prevent future buildup, all with just hot water. No harsh chemicals, no residue.
How to use it:
-
Soak in a hot shower or bath for at least 5-10 minutes to soften the skin.
-
Wet the glove and gently scrub your booty in circular motions.
-
Rinse and pat dry.
-
Use 1-2 times per week for best results.
This step preps your skin for what’s next… and trust us, it feels amazing.
Step 2: Detox and Clarify with Megababe Le Tush Butt Mask
Once your skin is exfoliated and clean, it’s time to treat it like the queen it is with a facial-grade clarifying mask formulated specifically for your tush.
Megababe’s Le Tush Clarifying Butt Mask is packed with powerhouse exfoliants like glycolic, malic, and azelaic acids, which dissolve dead skin and treat discoloration. Tiny, earth-friendly beads add a little physical exfoliation, while willow bark extract calms inflammation and squalane + kelp extract restore hydration. In other words: it’s glow-up time for your peach.
How it works:
-
Targets bumps, breakouts, and uneven texture
-
Helps fade dark marks and irritation from previous breakouts
-
Hydrates and smooths for a soft, touchable finish
How to use it:
-
Use on clean, dry skin up to 2–3 times per week.
-
Apply a generous layer and let it sit for up to 3 minutes.
-
Massage gently in circular motions before rinsing.
-
Pat dry and enjoy your newly glowy derrière.
Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun & particularly the possibility of sunburn. Always apply SPF and avoid direct sun exposure for a week after use — yes, even on your booty!
Step 3: Keep Things Breezy with Huha Undies
Once you’ve exfoliated and masked your bum, the final step is all about prevention, and it starts with what you wear everyday. Traditional underwear made from synthetic fabrics can trap heat, moisture, and bacteria, which are major culprits when it comes to clogged follicles and butt breakouts.
That’s why we can’t recommend Huha enough! This woman-owned brand based in Vancouver is redefining what it means to care “down there” with their innovative, mineral-infused undergarments. Made from super-soft, breathable TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers with zinc oxide (via smartcel™ sensitive), Huha undies are naturally antimicrobial and intentionally designed to promote skin health. They help prevent the bacteria buildup that leads to folliculitis (aka butt acne), while still being comfy, cute, and kind to your skin.
If you are thinking about swapping your synthetic pairs, opt for Huha’s breathable, body-loving undies that reduce irritation, promote airflow, and give your tush the chill, bacteria-resistant environment it deserves.
Butt Acne, Be Gone
Look, taking care of your bum is self-care, plain and simple. Whether you're prepping for swimsuit season, dealing with annoying bumps, or just want to feel confident in your skin, this easy three-step routine has your back (literally).
Together, the Wildpier Glove, Megababe Le Tush Mask, and Huha Undies deliver spa-quality results from the comfort of your bathroom without the awkwardness of asking someone “hey, can you recommend something for my butt acne?”
It’s time to give your booty the attention it deserves!
