Have teens with acne in your household? Looking for skin care advice for that troubled skin? The following skin care suggestions will help clear up your child's acne.
Keep on top of your skin care routine. Wash your face morning and night, but no more. More than washing twice a day will dry skin too much, making it vulnerable to flaking and cracking. Invest in a gentle cleanser, and never use soap.
Next use an exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin. Make a scrub at home by combining three uncoated aspirin tablets with a bit of water in a little dish. Crush it up with a spoon, mixing in the water. Mix in two tablespoons of organic honey. Use this to scrub your forehead, nose, and chin area. Rinse after scrubbing.
Use moisturizer every morning and evening. Use a moisturizer with salicylic acid to prevent additional breakouts. Some teens are afraid of moisturizer, thinking it’ll clog their pores, but you shouldn’t worry if you use an oil-free formula. The worst problem is to let your skin dry out, because then your oil glands will work overtime to produce oil to make up for the dryness.
Avoid cream make up and foundation, especially on break outs. Instead look for mineral powder make up, and use it very sparingly.
Consider a professional extraction from an esthetician if you have deep blackheads that aren’t responding to gentle attempts to extract. It's best not to remove stubborn blackheads at home, but if you do, be sure to sterilize your hands and instruments, and wash your face before and after. Try not to irreparably damage skin. It's worth it to prevent scarring or further infection; hire a professional, even if it's costly.
Invest time in your skin care routine every day to keep it under control. Remember to care for your skin every day without fail.
