Puberty hits everyone! Our bodies change during puberty, so teen skin care can be difficult. Hormonal changes mean that our skin as well as our moods act up. Body and skin care is especially important at this time to ensure that your hormones don't get the better of you, with increased perspiration, oilier skin, and growing pains. Being clean is also an important part of confidence for teenagers.
During puberty, oil glands get stimulated when hormones become active. Teenage acne is caused by overactive oil glands in the skin and a buildup of oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, which leads to inflammation (swelling and redness) in the pores. That's why adequate teenage skin care is a must! Let’s look at a few easy ways to navigate it…
Start with these simple teenage skin care steps
- Keep your skincare routine simple
- Use a good quality sunscreen, even in the winter
- Tackle acne head-on as soon as the breakouts start
- Don't fall sleep with your makeup on
- Wash your pillowcase and sheets
- Don’t pick at your face
- Wash your hands often
- Use oil-free and non-comedogenic products
Comedones are small flesh-colored acne papules. They usually develop on the forehead and chin. You typically see these papules when you're dealing with acne. Blackheads and whiteheads are the most common forms of comedonal acne.
Non-comedogenic products or cosmetics are those formulated so as not to cause blocked pores. Non-Comedogenic products help keep dry skin supple and oily skin acne-free. That's because non-comedogenic substances don't clog your pores. This allows skin to breathe, remain hydrated, and keeps it free from breakouts. Clogged pores (comedones) can lead to pimples.

✔ Doesn’t clog pores
✔ Allows for adequate cell respiration
✔ Prevents excessive sweating
