What Every Teenager should know about pimples..
Whilst every teenager face problems with pimples during their formative years, they are not necessarily equipped with the knowledge on how to care for themselves.
Why PIMPLES?
Almost 90% of skin problems are due to hormonal changes. During puberty, excess male hormones (androgens) stimulate overactive sebum glands. The excess oil clogs the hair follicles and blocks oxygen from entering the pores. It doesn’t help when these active individuals also play sports and perspire alot and some start to experiment with make up and foundation. These blocked pores with sebum oil, perspiration, dusts and make up make ‘condusive homes’ for bacteria growth.
Many resolve to trial-and-error with over-the-counter cleansers and pimple creams, not realizing they could be be sensitive to the harsh ingredients.
Still many start to pop their pimples which cause further inflammations which lead to scarring. L
From whitehead, blackhead, pimple and acne … the root of the problem is hormone induced over-active sebum glands leading to bacteria grouwth. So how can we prevent teenagers’ pimples?
