If you're in your teens, you are just at the right time to start taking care of your face properly. It is important to start a proper skin care protocol during your teenage years to avoid scarring and imperfectionsIt seems that acne-prone skin just comes with the territory for teenagers.
Since most teenagers' hormones become a chaotic mess during puberty, many bodily functions are sent into overproduction mode. For example, the skin produces far more sebum (an oily substance excreted from the glands) than is necessary. As a result the skin's pores get blocked with sebum and pimples appear.Unfortunately, some teen skin is more affected than others by these changes. Many teens use over-the-counter or even prescription acne medications, but find that they simply don't work for controlling outbreaks. In many cases, these harsh acne medications can actually damage the skin through chemical over-drying. For teens who have a lot of trouble with oily skin and acne, controlling outbreaks requires a balance of diet, rest, and good skin care practices.
