Top 4 Teen Skin Care Secretes Revealed

The teen years are a period when your child is halfway towards adulthood. Along with the stresses of school, friendships, and social pressures, the body undergoes many hormonal changes. The teenager’s confidence, self-respect and self-image are severely dented because of the emerging acne and psoriasis which are as a result of the various stress being faced. Although there are many products in the market targeted towards teen skin care, it is important to first understand how to take care of teenage skin so that one can develop a healthy skin care routine.
 

Determine Skin Type

Teenage skin is susceptible to excess oil or sebum and acne because of the intense hormones. Though, it is widely believed by the teens that the products targeting excess oil should be used only. It is important to note that not all teens have oily skin, so products that target excess oil can wreak havoc on skin that is prone to dryness. Hence, ascertaining your skin type is of utmost importance. This can be done by first washing your face and then waiting for at least five minutes. You have oily skin, if your skin surface will seem shiny. Dry skin is the one which feels tight or parched. You might have a combination skin type if you can see shine on some areas like forehead, chin and nose. Skin that does not seem shiny or dry is considered as normal skin.

Use Gentle Products

If you are suffering from acne, avoid using products with strong formulations. These will only cause further skin irritations. Look at the ingredient listings of products to make sure that they don’t include dyes, fragrances, or sulfates. Sometimes a product with alcohol may work to dry up the pimple and soak up the oil, but it may also irritate the skin. Use acne-specific products such as benzoyl peroxide, only under the advice of a dermatologist.

Cleanse Regularly

Excess of oil is responsible for development and multiplication of acne causing bacteria. It is beneficial to cleanse your face at least twice a day during your teen period. If you lead an active lifestyle, and are prone to profuse sweating, you should consider washing your face thrice a day. Use a cleanser that is gentle and does not contain heavy fragrances or alcohol. Apply oil free moisturizer after the wash. This will help to restore some of that lost moisture and prevent oil secretion.

Ultraviolet Protections
Anti-aging and wrinkling is the next thought on the teenager’s mind. However, the damage to your skin as a result of ultraviolet radiation begins to accumulate in your teen years. This damage will manifest itself in the form of wrinkles and age spots in your twenties. To prevent this from occurring, make it a habit of applying sunscreen all over your face and neck each time you head out. A minimum of SPF 15 is advised by the dermatologist for better skin protection. Do not forget to apply it to your neck area as well. Non comedogenic formulations and oil- free sunscreens are available in the market too. Natural sunscreens which contain zinc oxide are also an excellent alternative.

Hence, to boost to your confidence and self-esteem as a teenager, just follow these simple skin care tips and achieve glowing, vibrant and flawless skin.
