Your teenage years can be rough for your skin. You may experience more acne as a teenager because your oil glands become overactive due to hormone activation. Excessive oil production can cause pores to clog with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This then results in an acne increase on your face and body. Acne’s presence is entirely natural, but it can still hurt your confidence. To boost your skin’s health, Vivid Health & Beauty has specialized acne treatment and prevention tips for teens. Read on to discover how to relieve your skin from pore buildup and protect it from external elements.

Use a Gentle Cleanser Twice a Day

Using lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser, wash your face twice a day, preferably when you wake up and before you go to bed. A gentle cleanser removes not only your makeup but bacteria and dirt from your face without being too harsh on your skin. VHB specially curates the soft cleansing mousse from Janssen Cosmetics for sensitive, dry, or irritated skin. Since it’s a pH-neutral facewash, this cleanser gently removes skin contaminants without provoking irritable skin.

Enjoy Regular Acne Treatment Facials

When you think facial, you probably imagine some luxurious spa day. However, facial treatments aren’t just for days filled with pampering; they’re extremely helpful at tackling the root of your acne.

VHB’s acne treatment facial is one of our most popular service options, as it removes all traces of dirt, oil, and makeup that you just can’t reach with washing. Our traditional extraction facial service is also ideal for acne-prone skin. During this treatment, we thoroughly cleanse your skin, exfoliate with crystals, and clear clogged pores. This process of gently buffing your skin reduces the appearance of acne scars and blemishes.

Strengthen Your Stress Management Skills

From school to social life, teens have lots of different stressors in their lives. Stress has a direct impact on the rest of your body, including your skin.

Stress can gradually increase your skin’s oil production, causing quicker oil buildup in your pores. Stressors also make it harder for your skin to heal, which may tempt you to pick and prod at your pimples rather than allow them to settle naturally. VHB’s back-to-school skincare bundle can nix one stressor from your life—crafting a skincare routine that works for you.

Avoid Touching Your Skin

We know it can be tempting to try and pop a whitehead or squeeze a blackhead, whether you’re bored or have an upcoming event. But doing so will only increase the likelihood of scarring your skin and causing irritation. You’ll also want to avoid touching your face. This means refraining from rubbing your eyes, chin, and nose. When you touch anywhere on your face, you transfer whatever bacteria are on your hands to your face!

With Vivid Health & Beauty’s acne treatment and prevention tips for teens, you’ll feel confident in your skin in no time. Of course, it’s important to recognize that managing your acne doesn’t happen overnight. To promote your skin’s health, commit to a skincare regimen for your skin type. From sensitive and dry to acne-prone skin, VHB supplies various specialized products and services that tackle different skin issues.
