Teenagers and acne – this is what I tell all my teenagers. Acne is caused by hormones and by bacteria. There’s not much I can do about hormones. You’ve got hormones, I’ve got hormones, everybody has hormones. Bacteria – anything that touches your face has got bacteria on it, so you wanna try to keep everything off your face. You would think that bangs are hiding your acne – bangs actually cause acne. Get everything off of your face. Get your hair off your face, get your phone off your face. I know teenagers don’t really talk like this anymore. Even glasses – if you can switch to contacts, that would definitely help any acne that you have at your temple area. But the most important thing is you also have to wash your face twice a day, morning and night, to get rid of all that bacteria. So you have to use a good face wash specifically made for acne. There’s several different brands out there, they’re perfectly good. Just make sure it says face wash for acne. Do that twice a day, get all the bacteria off your face, and that is the first step in getting rid of acne. If your acne worsens, then talk to your pediatrician for other solutions. #TeenAcne #AcneTreatment #SkinCareForTeens #AcnePrevention Transcriptions from AI and may not be 100% accurate
