THE REASON WHY YOUTH SHOULD CARE FOR THE SKIN

FACT: Nearly 85% of young people develop acne. You have a choice, you can sit back and blame it on genetics, your age, or you can do something about it and try prevention.

Certain factors can cause skin flare ups:

• Wouldn't you know it that hormones are the main culprit - unfortunately you can't avoid this one but try and minimize the effects

• Friction caused by leaning on or rubbing the skin - a reason why flare ups happen during exams - stressful times

• Pressure from bike helmets, backpacks, tight collars

• Environmental irritations - pollution & high humidity when oil & sweat are dual culprits

• Of course squeezing & picking - what starts off as miniscule ends up resembling a traffic light or an alien - sound familiar - every time you do that you leave blemishes & scars & the healing process has to start again from square one

• Hard scrubbing of the skin - your skin is oily, not dirty - don't do damage & cause scarring

• Sporty guys & girls tend to get lots of whiteheads around the hairline because of the oil & excess sweat build-up so cleanse ASAP after all sports, including swimming to get rid of the chlorine

• Going to bed without cleansing off all make-up - Oh that is such a no no

• Wrong cosmetics and foundations that are too thick - don't hide - get your canvas clean & smooth & you will be amazed

• Alcohol, smoking, poor diet all affect the skin in a negative way
