AcneDay

The teenage years are ones fraught with insecurity, identity complications, and hard school work; the last thing teenagers need at the beginning of another hard day is to discover an unsightly pimple on their face or an acne breakout. Yet, in my opinion, even worse would be a permanent scar for the future.

Unfortunately, many teenagers decide to scratch off their acne, pop their pimples, or employ any other immediate action to rid themselves of the unsightly blemish. These of course leave scars for the future that follow teenagers forever. It is the recommendation of almost all doctors to treat these breakouts and pimples with some sort of topical medicine and allow the blemishes to leave on their own time. Teenage years will eventually end, the light at the end of the tunnel emerging to provide fun college years for some and jobs for others, but scars will follow them for life.

As teenagers, we all had the same insecurities about our appearances, particularly acnes. Most of us spent a lot of time cleaning and washing our face to prevent oil from building up. Doing so actually did more harm than good to our skin and acne. You should never over wash your face. Don’t use soap, use a mild facial cleanser even if you’re a guy. Soap can dry out our skin even if it looks oily. Teenage years are precious in terms of developing good skincare. Spending too much in the Sun can permanently damage our skin also.

Wash your face no more than twice daily, and use mild facial cleansers. Then apply acne medicine if you definitely need to. Don’t forget to apply lotions to hydrate your skin.

Teens are very concerned about the pimples on their faces. Many are bothered by the horrible pimples that appear on the face, neck, back, and shoulders. In fact, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s natural, most people get it throughout their lives. Pimples form when hair follicles under your skin clog up, as simple as that. However, when you get other more serious forms of acne, such as inflamed red lesions, then you need to consult a doctor.

The best way to prevent or avoid acne flaring up is to clean your face gently, avoid the Sun, and try not to touch your face too often. It’s just simply to avoid germs on your face. If you do get pimples, the good news is, most of them go away.
