Acne can have a great impact on teenagers , causing long physical and emotional scars.If you are a teenager suffering from acne…don’t worry.You’re not the only one.Studies show that almost 90% of teenagers have acne. Acne is not specific to a certain type of population and it can affect anybody.
Teenagers are the ones suffering from the psychological impact resulting from such condition. It is the age when they build relationships, they get interested in the opposite sex.The physical aspect becomes very important and any skin imperfection can represent a drama for self-image.Acne can cause some serious emotional distress like :low self esteem,low self-confidence,social withdrawal etc.
The best way to treat acne is to prevent it from showing up.You can do that by :
• Keep your face as clean as possible
• Try to stay away from greasy foods (fast-food etc)
• Eat healthy : Vitamin A and E are very important for the skin
• Irritation : Don’t “over exfoliate” or it can cause you more bad than good
These are some easy to follow rules that can prevent acne. There are many creams available , the main ones contain benzoyl peroxide (we’ll talk about this substance later), which can prevent acne or fight it.
Remember!Always consult your doctor or a dermatologist before trying any acne cream treatment.
