Great Skin At Any Age: tips for fighting acne Acne can be a problem at any
age, but is a particular irritant during the teenage years. Looking for
some advice in this area, we asked the experts at DDF Skincare Three Easy Steps to Beautiful Skin: Cleanse, Protect, TreatSignificant hormonal changes that occur during the teen years tend to cause production of sebum (oil) to increase so that teen skin tends to more oily. Formerly normal skin may begin to see pimples popping up and oily skin may experience significant breakouts. It is important to start a proper skin care protocol during your teenage years to avoid scarring and imperfections. Taking care of your skin today will not only make you look better now but will help keep your skin continue to glow as you get older. CLEANSE:
The
first step is choosing the right facial cleanser: start with a cleanser that
rinses clean and thoroughly cleanses the skin without stripping it.
If you have acne-prone skin, consider washes that contain salicylic acid
to control oil production, benzoyl peroxide to treat pimples or glycolic acid to
rid skin of dead skin cells. If you
have dry or sensitive skin, consider cleansers that are non-irritating and
contain soothing elements (like aloe vera) and hydrating ingredients.
Everyone has different skin types and skin conditions and in order to
achieve optimum results, make sure you select products that are right for your
skin. Once
your skin is clean, protect it from environmental pollutants and sun damage.
The number one way to keep skin healthy is SUNSCREEN.
The sun’s rays cause both immediate and long-term damage including
wrinkles, dark spots, loss of firmness and possibly melanoma.
The best way to protect skin is to use a daily moisturizer with an SPF of
at least 15 in it. Everyday.
There is a moisturizer for every skin type so be sure to select the right
one for your skin, making sure that it contains sun protection and, ideally,
vitamins and nutrients to prevent and restore. This is the time to “fix” what you feel is broken. Acne? Use a product containing an antibacterial agent to fight that P-Acnes bacteria (the guilty culprit that causes those pimples). If your skin is shiny hours before lunch, treat your skin at night with an oil-reducing product containing salicylic acid to minimize oil production. For more information,
