subject: Simple Cures For Teenage Acne [print this page] Acne is a skin condition caused my the hormonal influxes that teenagers go through as they are going through puberty. But, teenagers should never let acne stop them from living life to the fullest. There are many tips, strategies, and products that can help reduce acne breakouts. Whenever you start an acne product, you should allow for at least 3 months before you can expect the acne to clear up.
The number one tip is to avoid touching your face constantly! Your hands get into contact with so many dirty things during the day and those germs on your skin will only great havoc. It will take a while before you can completely stop; we are so used to touching our faces that it's tricky to just stop. You should also make a habit of washing your hands before you apply your moisturizer or foundation.
One thing you should never do is wash your face with regular bath soap. The soap will disrupt the important acid mantle of the skin and when that happens your skin can't protect itself as well as it did before. Always use a product that was specifically designed to cleanse your skin and one that suits your acne prone skin type.
Stay away from oily moisturizers and foundations with an oil base. Teens with acne often use any products given to them, but teach yourself to always read the labels. You need a light moisturizer that won't clog your pores or leave you feeling oily. If you have trouble finding the perfect one, let a skin care professional at a cosmetic counter or salon guide to which acne products you should buy.
Don't rub your skin hard and vigorously when you cleanse. Acne is not caused becaue you are dirty. Acne is caused by your hormones, your diet and the body's toxicity. That means, constant washing and scrubbing of your skin won't cure your acne, on the contrary it will make it worse. Only gently cleanse your skin morning and evening, you can use a mild scrub once a week, preferably one without granules. The granules will stimulate even more oil production, an enzyme scrub is activated with friction and heat, and it will remove dead skin cells without stimulating oil production.
A high quality multi-vitamin is absolutely necessary for you to take! There are no fast solutions or quick fixes for acne; it's something that clears up over a period of time. You should never let acne control you life and stop you from doing the things you love to do!
