Acne tends to strike at a more severe rate in young girls rather than in mature adults. The reason behind this is puberty and changing hormones. Girls, especially in their teenage years have to go through the cycle of monthly menstruation, growth spurts, body and facial hair growth, and many other physical changes. All these takes a toll on the hormonal system of the body, and acne outbursts is seen as the outcome of all this.
The skin becomes oilier and there is an increased oil secretion that somehow mixes with dead skin cells, clogs the pores and results in acne flare ups. A young girl going through this stage needs to take certain measures to prevent a severe acne outburst, and if needed medical help should be sought at once.
1. Avoid Cosmetics
Cosmetics actually play a detrimental role towards the skin. A young girl’s skin is sensitive and while it is being tortured by acne, the least you want to do is to let it suffer more torture by applying cosmetics. The products contain harmful comedogenic products and are the leading causes for acne, blackheads and clogged pores. They prevent the skin from breathing and during the acne process; the skin should be kept free. However, if applying makeup is absolutely necessary, then you can opt for non-comedogenic products instead.
2. Home Remedies
Never underestimate the power of home remedies! People think that using expensive gels, lotions and potions would do the trick; unfortunately, that is not often the case. This is because these products have strong chemical ingredients that could actually damage sensitive skin, rather than giving it a beautiful look. Yes, they may help in dealing with acne, but after that the skin does not remain fresh or alive. Instead, opt for natural sources such as honey, aloe vera, lemon, tomatoes, apple cider etc. These elements have strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities and are entirely natural. There are hundreds of remedies available online for your use and benefit. Be diligent in using these remedies and you are all set to having acne free teen years!
3. Medical Help
If going natural or herbal doesn’t seem to help out with the acne problem, it’s time to visit a dermatologist and get them to help deal with the acne. Though it could be expensive, you should not ignore the onset of acne flare ups, as if left unattended, it could lead to serious skin disorders.
