We all want to put our best face forward, but the teenage years, or adolescence, can leave some wanting to hide from the world.
您的少年可能还没有解决皱纹，但他们可能面临Zits，黑头甚至敏感的皮肤。在这些期间成长期，以主要的zit或红色，刺激的皮肤从人群中脱颖而出可能令人尴尬，并且downright depressing. Things like acne can be especially challenging if your teen is beingbullied or teasedas a result.
“Acne often causes significant physical and psychological problems, such as永久疤痕, poor self-image, depression and anxiety,” said Rebecca Thiede, MD, a dermatologist withBanner – University Medical Center Tucson. “In fact, within the first year of an acne diagnosis, those with acne are at ahigher risk用于发展重大抑郁症。”
在这一生命的这一阶段，激素和同伴压力激增并不总是那么容易，但是好消息是，可以清晰，健康的皮肤。这是皮肤科医生批准的10个护肤技巧，可保持青少年的皮肤发光。
1. Keep your skincare routine simple.
Keep the skincare routine simple and consistent. A good routine can backfire when there are too many steps. “I like to tell my patients that a simple routine is twice a day, morning and night.”
每天洗两次脸 - 醒来和上床睡觉前。出汗活动后，您还需要洗脸。
To keep face washing top of mind, place your products next to your toothbrush and do it at the same time as brushing your teeth to be consistent.
As well, avoid using a washcloth, mesh sponge or anything else that can irritate the skin. Instead, use your fingertips to wash your face and apply product.
2. Use oil-free and non-comedogenic products.
Look for products that won’t block pores. These products will be labeled as “oil-free” or “noncomedogenic,” which won’t create comedones, the blackheads and whiteheads that clog pores. This is true not just for moisturizers but for makeup and sunscreen as well.
3. Wear sunscreen, even in the winter.
A good habit for life is to protect skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Rain, snow or shine,防晒霜是必须的.
Thiede博士说：“即使您要妆容，也要确保使用SPF的宽光谱防晒霜。”“干燥和阳光损伤的皮肤是刺激的皮肤，刺激性的皮肤会使您面临更大的痤疮风险。”
4.早期，正面向痤疮。
痤疮在青春期中很常见，激素进入超速驱动时。如果您开始进行小小的突破，请一次从一个痤疮产品开始。如果您在四到六个星期后看不到改进，请添加第二种痤疮产品。这种方法可以帮助攻击痤疮的不同原因，例如细菌，毛孔，油和炎症。

Thiede博士说：“例如，如果含有过氧化苯甲酰的痤疮治疗，则第二次痤疮治疗应含有另一种抗痤疮的成分。”
To help select another product, here’s what the different active ingredients work on:
- Benzoyl peroxide decreases P. acnes bacteria
- 类视网膜类似，例如Adapalene凝胶，解开毛孔并降低油脂
- 水杨酸缓解炎症，并疏散孔隙
即使您的痤疮正在改善或清除，继续进行该方案也很重要。Thiede博士指出：“如果您很清楚，如果您可以防止痤疮而不是治疗现有的突破，则该方案正在起作用。”
5.不要睡在化妆中。
Make sure to remove makeup every night before bedtime.
“Even noncomedogenic makeup can cause acne if you sleep in it,” Dr. Thiede said. “If you’re too tired to wash your face, a makeup remover towelette works—just make sure it’s noncomedogenic.”

6. Wash your pillowcase and sheets.
您是每周洗一次或更换床单和枕套吗？如果他们不经常洗钱或更换，则可以从环境中制成污垢或油，您的皮肤和头发会转移回您的皮肤。
“By the end of one week, sheets and pillowcases are swarming with dead skin cells and bacteria,” Dr. Thiede said. “These can clog your pores, leading to breakouts.”
如果您有油性的头发或使用油性产品，则可能需要更频繁地更换床单。
7. Avoid touching, picking, scrubbing and overdoing it with products.
过度脱落，弹出丘疹，太频繁地洗脸，每周尝试新的痤疮产品，这是当下的感觉都很棒，但可能会导致皮肤刺激和更多的突破。
“Avoid doing too much too fast as it can irritate the skin, cause allergic reactions and worsen acne,” Dr. Thiede said. “Picking or popping pimples is also a big no-no. This can lead to scarring and also take the pimple longer to heal.”
8. Sensitive skin? Use the spot test.
Everyone’s skin is different. If you have sensitive skin, however, it can make locating products that won’tburn, sting or itch更具挑战性。尝试寻找不含非碎香气的产品。
If your teen is prone to being sensitive to products, Dr. Thiede suggested the test spot approach:
- Apply the product to a test spot twice daily for seven to 10 days.选择皮肤上的四分之一大小的斑点，在那里不会擦掉或洗掉产品，例如手臂的底面或肘部弯曲。使用正常量和厚度，就像定期使用产品一样。
- Leave the product on your skin for as long as you would normally.If you’re testing something you would usually wash off, like a cleanser, keep it on your skin for five minutes or as long as the instructions say.
- If after seven to 10 days you don’t have a skin reaction, such as red, itchy or swollen skin, go ahead and use the product.
- 如果皮疹或燃烧发生外壳,过敏反应d be occurring. If this happens, gently wash the product off as soon as possible and don’t use it again. Apply a cool compress or petroleum jelly to relieve skin. If your reaction is severe and not improving, see your health care provider or dermatologist.
Thiede博士说：“痤疮的某些常见成分，例如视黄醇和乙醇酸会刺激皮肤，尤其是在皮肤敏感的情况下。”“这是正常的，暂时的，直到人们的皮肤习惯了新产品。重要的是要在此阶段继续使用该产品，同时还要保湿。”
9. Eat a balanced diet.
Sugary drinks and treats with friends are tempting but may not help their skin.
“Emerging data suggests thathigh glycemic index diets（高水平的糖）可能与痤疮有关。” Thiede博士说。“也有一些证据表明一些乳制品，特别是脱脂牛奶，可能会影响痤疮。蛋白质奶昔中的乳清蛋白已被证明会影响痤疮。”
Whenever possible, eat fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and low-GI options of your favorite carb-rich foods. For example, opt for whole grain oatmeal versus a plain bagel or whole wheat bread versus white bread.
而且不要忘记水。确保全天喝大量的水。水合非常适合整体健康和皮肤。
10.安排与皮肤科医生的约会。
A dermatologist is happy to help every step of your skincare journey, especially the acne journey.
痤疮是一种旅程,“Thiede博士说。“什么works for you now might not work in a year. It’s important to see a dermatologist if your acne isn’t improving despite consistent over-the-counter treatment, significant flares or scarring is occurring or if it is affecting your self-esteem.”
Today, virtually all acne can be cleared. If you’re not seeing results on your own, a dermatologist can help find the right treatment and/or acne medication. For moderate to severe acne, you may be prescribed an oral or topical acne medication, such as antibiotics like sarecycline, isotretinoin or hormonalbirth control.
Final word
Skin problems can put a damper on your teen living their best life (YOLO!). Help them put their best face forward by adopting skin-care habits that can keep zits at bay and prevent emotional and physical scarring. If necessary, work with your teen’s health care provider or a dermatologist.
Thiede博士说：“研究表明，青少年在拥有痤疮并与皮肤科医生一起制定良好的常规时会做得更好。”“当父母来自父母时，感觉就像在na。”
