Teenage Acne - What We Are Not Told
Over 30 Million teenagers worldwide suffer from acne and sadly this permits for exploitation
from the many commercial marketers and impostors out to make a fast buck at the expense of these vulnerable and desperate teenagers who are searching for a quick cure.Perhaps if more acne sufferers knew of drug-free alternatives, obviously this wouldn't be the case and if they were more informed about diet and skin cleaning tips, they could see an improvement in their acne.Teenage Acne
I don't know if it is puberty or hormonal imbalances but many teenage years are miserable because of one thing:Acne and Needless to say those are very sad years if you are ill informed of how to improve your skin.Their are many helpless and understandably sad teenagers almost on a daily basis who are unaware of acne treatments available.
So if it helps any: if you are a teenager or know of a teenager who is plagued with pimples, here are a few tips that should help you cure your acne in no time.
1. First and foremost, I care not what some sites and product endorsers say about how diet doesn't affect acne; you have got to make a change in your eating habits, plain and simple. You are what you eat. If you want to have clearer skin and the added bonus of improved health, of course eating right will be essential. That said: Fruits and vegetables are paramount. Shop more in the produce aisle and steer clear of the snack stands at the cash register. I know it may sound boring for a teenager but trust me, it's worth the sacrifice and this forms the basis of an internal acne treatment right there from its root cause.
2.For external acne-care, you could learn such simple tips as facial massaging and exercises. However, (now I'm speaking from what I went through and believe me I had acne BAD...) simply washing your face with nothing but clean hands and plain cool water may perhaps be the most efficient way to clean the pores. Combined with the facial massaging and occasional steaming of the face, this will be very sufficient to clean the skin.
3. Change your pillowcases daily and make sure you have a towel exclusively for your face or you could employ the use of paper towels.
4. If you use greasy hair-products, shampoo the hair before retiring or at least use a clean do-rag to hinder the introduction of oily substances to the pillowcase and inevitably your face while asleep.
5. On that subject, try to also sleep on the right side. Besides checking against contamination getting on the face, this is great for the heart and lungs and allows for a better and restful sleep (which co-incidentally helps with controlling acne.)
6. Deal with stressful situations amicably. This is another topic into itself but briefly these work: Proper diet, proper thinking habits and exercise.
For stress,yoga is amazing for stress-relief. Moreover, for teenagers who are more likely to engage in sports and other recreational activities, you'll be getting the added advantage of improving your fitness levels and with your own body weight at that.
