Teenage facial skin care. Features of teenage facial skin

In adolescence, at 11, 12, 14 years old, not only the child’s character changes, but also the state of his body. Hormonal changes lead to clogged pores and an oily sheen. The next stage is the appearance of pimples, blackheads, and blackheads. Skin care for teenagers is an important stage in their lives.

It is difficult to explain to a child that this is a normal skin condition at this age and it is time to take care of yourself more carefully and not walk around with acne on your face. The teenager understands this poorly and begins to squeeze out pimples on his own, which leads to even more pimples and scars on the skin. Such consequences can lead to the child withdrawing into himself and developing complexes.

In order to avoid such situations, it is recommended to start caring for your face on time and use various products.

Oily skin care

There is no single product that can be bought at the pharmacy and used to prevent acne. But there are products for problem skin. The first thing you should try is a cleansing foam. It removes oily shine and cleanses pores on the face at home. The gel or foam is commercially available and has an anti-inflammatory effect. You can use it every morning by applying to a cotton pad and wiping your face.

A tonic with a cleansing effect can remove fatty secretions. It should be applied to problem areas 2 times a day. You can dry out acne at home with salicylic acid. A 2% solution is available at pharmacies. It should be applied to a cotton swab and wiped over the inflamed area. This way the fabric dries. It is not recommended to perform such procedures frequently; 2 times a day is enough for 4-5 days.

If you do not follow this recommendation, the skin will begin to dry out and peeling will occur.

There are cosmetics for teenagers that contain salicylic acid and components that prevent dryness of the face. These are medicinal cosmetics that help care for problem skin on a teenager’s face. These include tonics containing natural substances.

Ecology DIRECTORY

The best indicator of the degree of thinning is the ratio of the cut portion; stock (in percent) to the entire stock of the forest stand at the beginning of felling.[...]

A fairly complete description of gradual felling can be obtained only by a combination of several indicators based on such characteristics as the number of trees, stock, composition, thickness of trees. [...]

The minimum number of stages for gradual felling is two, the minimum total period for cutting down a tree stand is two years, and the maximum degree of thinning in the first stage is such that the completeness of the tree stand is not reduced to the level of sparseness. Beyond these limits, the felling turns into clear cutting. When the total period of tree felling is extended to 40-60 years, felling begins to become selective.[...]

Preparatory felling aims to prepare favorable conditions for reforestation: a) create conditions for enhanced and high-quality fruiting and b) provide favorable conditions for seed germination and seedling development through the indirect impact of felling on soil processes. [...]

In the preparatory stage, in well-closed stands, it is recommended to cut down, firstly, trees of undesirable species so that they do not produce regrowth, and, secondly, trees that are poorly formed, with bad trunks, and diseased. Sometimes, for example, due to the large density of the tree stand, coarse humus accumulates, as is often the case in spruce, spruce-fir and even beech forests. Some thinning of the tree stand, increasing the access of light and heat to the soil, promotes increased decomposition of coarse humus and its transition to soft humus, more favorable for the development of tree species seedlings.[...]

Dispersal felling is usually carried out in the seed year in order to create favorable conditions for seed germination. Thus, during logging operations at a time when the soil is not covered with snow, it is injured, the forest floor is torn off, loosened, and seeds are partially buried. Thinning the tree stand improves soil and light conditions for the development of self-seeding. The part of the tree stand remaining after seed cutting serves for some time as protection for the tender young growth, protecting it from frost, sun, wind and the violent development of weed herbaceous vegetation.[...]

Lighting cutting is carried out with the aim of brightening the growing self-seeding. [...]

Clearing, or final, cutting is aimed at completely freeing sufficiently strong young growth from the maternal protective canopy, which it no longer needs.[...]

Some of the listed techniques may be dropped. Thus, a tree stand that has been systematically maintained does not require preparatory felling. A forest stand in which there is a sufficient amount of small valuable undergrowth does not require seed cutting.[...]

The nature and degree of thinning of the forest stand.
When making gradual fellings, it is recommended to carry out a generally uniform or uniform thinning of the tree stand throughout the entire cutting area. [...] Return to contents

Dry skin care

Teenagers with this type of face do not have rashes, inflammation or acne. They do not need careful care. But don't forget to keep an eye on your T-zone. If it becomes oily, then it is recommended to rinse your face with warm water and use foam to wash your face. Chamomile infusion will prevent dry skin from drying out. This is important in the summer, with frequent exposure to the sun, and in contact with salt water. At this time, you need to smear your face with sunscreen with a high level of protection.

– What to do with isolated, pinpoint rashes? Is it better to cauterize a pimple?

- Yes. You can cauterize with peroxide and alcohol or antibacterial creams, gels, and tonics. The most important thing is not to press, otherwise, due to this bad habit, the infection will spread to other areas, leaving significant scabs, persistent spots and, possibly, scars. It is better to dry it spotwise, and not the whole face, so as not to dry out the skin.

– It turns out that you need to maintain hand hygiene: wipe more often with wet wipes, various gels, wash? Which of these are effective?

– An effective way is to wash your hands up to the elbow. But if this is not possible, then you can use antibacterial wet wipes, sprays, and gels.

– Do you recommend using thermal water?

- Why not? Water has a moisturizing property, enriches the skin with oxygen, and relieves irritation.

The influence of decorative cosmetics on skin condition

In adolescence, girls begin to apply powder, lipstick, blush, etc. to their faces. All this leads to clogged pores if they are not washed off in time. An oily sheen will appear in the T-zone, spreading to the entire face.

Before constantly using these products, you will need to monitor the reaction of the skin and find out what cosmetics you can use. If allergic reactions or inflammation occur, you should stop using this type or brand of product and switch to facial care cosmetics.

– How often do teenagers come to see you?

- Rarely. Mostly mothers come, describe their problems, and ask if I can help. Often, children aged 10-12 years begin to be bothered by small pimples and rashes, which, out of ignorance or intolerance, they begin to crush. Mothers buy widely advertised cosmetics and note that there are no special results. The child has complexes. Girls, spying on their mother, apply adult decorative cosmetics, covering up acne, which further aggravates the problem. Under no circumstances should they use adult cosmetics; they need special ones for youthful skin.

Causes of acne in teenagers

The main prerequisite for the appearance of comedones and acne in adolescents is hormonal changes that occur during puberty. At this time, there is a sharp jump in the level of male hormones - androgens, which are responsible for the production of sebum. Moreover, an increase in the level of androgens in the blood occurs not only in boys, but also in girls.

An increase in androgens (in particular testosterone) leads to increased activity of the sebaceous glands and their hyperkeratosis. At the same time, not only the quantity of sebum increases, but also its quality: the sebum becomes denser and more viscous. Due to the increased density of fat and insufficient exfoliation of dead skin particles, sebum accumulates in the cavity of the hair follicle. Then there are two possible scenarios:

• If inflammation is not involved in this process, a so-called open comedon is formed, represented by a black dot. If the accumulation of fat occurs under the epidermis, we are talking about a closed comedon. It is a small, painless lump filled with fat.
• If the activation of pathogenic microorganisms, their reproduction and production of waste products occurs in the cavity of the follicle, an inflammatory element is attached to the comedone. Depending on the intensity of inflammation, papules, papular-nodular or cystic-nodular acne are formed at the site of the comedon.

Adult acne, unlike teenage acne, is characterized by a more severe form of acne.
