Countdown to School: TEEN SKIN


At the start of a new school year teens want to look their absolute best, but hair and clothes are not the only factors in helping your teen get ready to face a new year of learning and adventures, how their skin looks greatly impacts their self-esteem.


After a summer full of fun, sun and water sports, a teen's skin may need special care. Although most teens see an improvement in their skin during the beginning of the summer season, repeated sun exposure, sweat, accumulated oils and dirt can create a thin, hard shell over the surface of their skin. By summer's end, increased breakouts, peeling skin and irritation can occur. Adolescent hormones complicate the process by speeding up oil production and overloading already congested pores.


Daily cleansing, morning and night, plus a light, water based moisturizer helps to keep a teen's skin healthy. Although morning cleansings are important, washing your face at night-much like brushing and flossing your teeth-is crucial. However, washing your face more than twice a day can also cause problems, especially with acne skin. Don't be afraid of moisturizers because of oily or problem skin. A light, water based moisturizer actually helps suppress oil production and keeps skin soft and healthy looking.


Finding a regimen that is right for your teen during this transitional season and often nerve wracking start of school, is one of the best things you can do to keep you teen looking and feeling their best.
