Acne is an inevitable experience for most teenagers. It’s a universal
enemy of most young adults and ironically a result of growing from
child to adult. While it’s not entirely avoidable, there are ways to
reduce one’s acne.
Dermatologists worldwide have been battling acne for years – most of
them are consulted after the acne has started. And what they contribute
is great expertise, medications, tips on good hygiene, and emotional
support that confirms that some acne is a normal part of life. None of
this helps the self-esteem or confidence of the teenager who
consistently deals with a face in the mirror they don’t like. So
consider some additional ways to limit the affect of acne in your life.
Primarily, take care of your body. What type of food are you eating? How
much sleep do you get? Do you wash with a hypoallergenic soap? These
considerations are important ones. Food, for example, plays a big part
in acne. Consult your dermatologist or online guide for more tips but be
aware that fruits and vegetables are great for more than just healthy
bones and teeth – they also lead to healthy skin. Similarly, watch your
intake of sugar and
manufactured products with heavy oil or fat.
Another preventative measure is to review and sample Proactiv,
Clearasil, and other acne prevention or removal products and see if any
of them work for you. Depending on your skin type, the type of acne you
have, or how your body responds to different forms of medication, these
products may have a selective benefit for you.
Finally, take care of your insides. No matter what effect acne has on
your outside appearance during your teen years, only you can determine
how you feel about your appearance and your looks. I’m not trying to
minimize the emotional affect of acne, especially if some of the scars
are permanent, but appearance alone is still only one factor that
contributes to one’s confidence and ultimately their enjoyment of and
success in life. If you can regularly look in the mirror and say “I like
myself” or “I like who I’m becoming”, acne will never determine your
sense of self. Do your best to prevent or reduce acne’s affect on your
physical appearance, and don’t forget to take care of your inner self as
well
