10 Things Skin Care Pros Share About Teenage Acne

Natural Exfoliation And Moisturizing Works

Exfoliation helps in removing impurities and buildup that clog pores. It should be done regularly to see the results. Natural exfoliators are pure and gentle on the skin which is why it is recommended strongly for acne prone skin. Brown sugar and ground oatmeal

are a few good options as exfoliators. Acne-prone skin should also be moisturized as it prevents the skin from producing more oil. If not moisturized, skin starts to produce more oil and oily skin means more acne. Coconut oil and olive oil are good natural moisturizers and act as sunscreens protecting against the ultraviolet rays. Most teenage skins are sensitive, therefore, it is better to go for natural products than buying expensive beauty products that are harsh on the skin due to chemical substances.

Genetics And Acne

Genes play an important role in the development of acne. If one has a genetic background in acne, it is likely that it will be passed on to the upcoming generation. Genes determine skin's sensitivity to hormones and other environmental factors. They change the structure and texture of the skin that determines skin's sensitivity. Damage caused by acne genes can be made less severe. Using Green tea regularly can block androgen receptors (androgen plays a key role in reproductive activities) which reduce the effect of androgen hormones, therefore, reducing acne to some extent. Caffeine intake can diminish inflammation caused by androgen hormones on acne-prone skin.
