Teenage Acne

Products that will help control excessive oiliness and acne breakouts.
Teenage acne is caused by an imbalance in the skin due to increased hormonal activity. This leads to an increased sebum(oil) production. If the excess oil is allowed to spread it will first turn into blackheads. These will also attract bacteria which create a small infection (pus)

The solution is based on only 3 simple steps :
Cleanse
Moisturize
Balance
1.Cleansing needs to remove the excessoil, not all the oil from the skin.
The oil is necessary to protect the skin from external aggression, be it pollution or climate based.
Good cleansing products never contain alcohol, which dries the skin too much and leave it unprotected. When this happens, the skin will produce more oil to protect itself, creating a vicious circle.
Cleansing twice daily with the correct professional product is enough.
2. Moisturizingis just as important. The skin contains both oil and water and using harsh cleansing products will dehydrate (remove moisture)making skin very flaky. In an effort to replace the lost moisture, the skin will overproduce oil (it cannot produce water)and this will make the skin oilier again.
Moisturizers replace lost water and the correct moisturizers for oily skin will not clog pores, or make the skin break out.
3. Balancing oily skin involves the use of a mask 3 -4 times a week, after cleansing well, followed by a moisturizer for oily skin.
The mask will absorb excess oils, help mattify the skin, reduce pimples and even the complexion.
