Here s exactly how to approach your teenager s acne, according to a dermatologist. Mamamia 4 days ago Charlotte Begg
I was one of those teenagers with really bad skin.
I still remember getting my first few pimples at age 11, which seemed like years before anyone else did. After a while, the pimples started to spread, got redder, and I became increasingly embarrassed about my new face. Neither my mum nor I had any clue what to do.
If you were in the same boat as me, you ll know that there was little information out there on teenage skin. There were a handful of brilliantly marketed products that are far too harsh on young skin (you probably know at least one of the major ones I m referring to) and a pill that fixes the acne - but causes various other serious side effects.

During a teenager s high school years, there are plenty of things they ll be more interested in than starting a skincare routine (school, friends, first relationships, you know). But it s important to introduce one early, so they can keep the physical hormonal changes at bay. When a teenager starts experiencing hormonal changes, they will often notice that their skin is oilier and may be prone to congestion. My advice is that teenagers introduce gentle products which help break down congestion and reduce inflammation, Dr McDonald explained. I generally recommend products such as the Effaclar range from La Roche Posay which contains salicylic acid to penetrate blocked pores and niacinamide to calm inflammation, without causing any excess stripping or drying of the skin, she said.
