Dehydration can also cause acne, because it triggers the secretion of more sebum, and the more sebum is secreted, the higher the risk that it gets stuck in somewhat pinched off sebum canals.

But: somehow your face is more susceptible to dehydration than your body. How is your skin (on your body)
Does it have mixed dry and oily areas?
If your skin is not susceptible to dehydration, you can use soap for your body. Make sure to oil it when you're done.

No brand names, you just need a good cold pressed / extra virgin oil. Check the other threads about oils.

Then don't use soap for your back.
