November 13, Teenagers, puberty and bad skin seem to go hand in hand. So what's going on in their young bodies that cause these skin breakouts?
If you're almost a teen, chances are pretty good that you have some acne. About 8 in 10 preteens and teens have acne, along with many adults. In fact, about 17 million people in the United States have acne.
Just when our appearance becomes so important and we want to look our best, acne can begin. Some teens seem unfazed by acne. For most teenagers, however, this especially visible skin problem can be upsetting.
Just stepped into your teens? Nor is whining about them while staring at your face in the mirror going to work. Let me make it clear — every teenager gets acne.
Good if you like … surprises? The color red? Doing science experiments on your skin to make zits go away?
By cleansing skin regularly and using the proper products to heal pimples, you can effectively treat acne as a teen girl. In addition to washing your skin, exfoliate it regularly to clear out dead skin cells, which can also clog pores and make acne worse. However, be careful not to wash your face too often or too vigorously as this can irritate your skin, strip its oils, and lead to more breakouts. To keep your skin hydrated, use a moisturizer daily, even if your skin is oily.
Lots of teen girls have acne. But knowing you have company still doesn't make you feel much better about your own skin, does it? You don't have to wait until you "grow out of" acne.
After spending years suffering from severe acnea teen said she was finally able to clear up her skin using cheap and mostly natural products. After her striking before-and-after photos soon went viral, Karina Banuelos, 17, from Palmdale, California, shared her skincare regimen with " Good Morning America. Like, around my lips," she told ABC News of her spots. The high school senior said she saw four different dermatologists and tried countless expensive creams, face washes, and even prescription medications, and nothing worked.
