Skincare for teenagers
What kind of care does it need?
Skin becomes thinner with age, and it loses the flexibility so it is important that we start to worry about the quality of the skin early enough. Usually we start to take care of our skin when we are not satissfied with her – usually when the first spots, allergies or wrinkles appears. Parents from teenagers play major role in their skin care, because children learn to care for skin from their parents. From the images in the media it can be concluded that young skin is beautiful and fresh. But very often that is not the case. Many adolescents are confronted with the fact that they have unclean skin, pimples, blackheads and subcutaneous pimples. All these shortcomings are part of the clinical picture of acne. Such problems arise usually in teenage time, when the hormonal situation begins to change. Usually that kind of problems disappear with age. With proper care these problems can be mitigated.
Genes, diet, stress…
Under the influence of male hormons, the seabaceous glands secrete more fat. Until then, sebaceous glands were in stagnation phaze, so there was no problem. Bacterias in glands eliminate fatty acids that cause inflammations. Subjection of acne is often caused by genes, but unclean skin can be caused also by unhealthy nutrition, stress, lack of exercise and smoking.
Moisture
It is also important that parents teach children about appropriate skin care. It is wrong to believe that the teenage oily skin needs cosmetic products that will dry their skin. Such products often contain alcohol that dryes the skin only on the surface, but inside the skin defends herself by producing even more fat. Although teenage skin can be very oily it still needs moisture.
Cleansing
Cleaning of skin should become a daily task, both for boys and for girls. Before cleaning the face we need to wash hands properly: dirty hands-drity face. Before going to bed, clean your skin with cleansing milk and refresh skin with appropriate tonic which contains no alcohol, even if your skin is oily. Soaps dry out your skin, so you can use a specuial soaps or face wash gels. Clean the entire face and neck area. Cleaning is good not only for removing make-up rests, but it also helps to remove all the dirt from the air that stayed on the face. The skin is exposed to air pollution, so we need to clean it daily. Teenage skin is usually very sensitive, so we need to use mild cleaning agents, which do not contain lanolin or perfume.
Creams
Which cream is appropriate for teenagers depends on a skin type. In any case cream should be hydrating and age suitable. Proper cream can be purchased in pharmacies where you can also get more adivces.
