Your body is developing and everything seems out of place. According to the experts, sometimes it may seem like your skin is impossible to manage but you don\u2019t need to fret anymore with these tips on how to manage acne and breakouts.<\/h2>\n<p>According to a medically reviewed article by Kids Health (Nemours TeensHealth!), acne is common during puberty when a teenager\u2019s hormones go into overdrive. This causes the skin to make too much sebum. Sebum is a type of oil caused by clogging in your pores.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause many oil-producing glands are on the forehead, nose, and chin, this area \u2013 the T-zone \u2013 is where a person is most prone to pimples,\u201d Kids Health explained.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tips on how to prevent breakouts and clear them up as fast as possible as provided by<\/strong> <strong>Kids Health (Nemours TeensHealth!): <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne. Gently massage your face with circular motions. Don\u2019t scrub. Too much washing and scrubbing can make your skin irritated.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t pop pimples. Popping pimples can push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a big event, like the prom, a dermatologist can often treat it for you with less risk of scarring or infection.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid touching your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum and skin residue, like your phone. If you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them often to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.<\/li>\n<li>If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes. They don\u2019t let the skin breathe and may irritate it too. Scarves, headbands, and caps can also collect dirt and oil.<\/li>\n<li>Take off your makeup before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say \u201cnoncomedogenic\u201d or \u201cnonacnegenic\u201d on the label. Throw away old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it.<\/li>\n<li>Keep hair clean and out of your face to prevent dirt and oil from clogging your pores.<\/li>\n<li>Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan hides acne, but it\u2019s only temporary. A tan may worsen your acne, not improve it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kids Health advises that you seek medical attention if you are concerned about acne. A Dermatologist can offer a range of treatments that help to prevent acne scars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA dermatologist can help you find the treatment method that\u2019s best for you and can also give you lots of usefbreakoutsul tips for dealing with acne and caring for your skin type.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nemours TeensHealth! is commited to transforming the health of children by going beyond medicine to improve the health of the world in which every child lives since it was founded in 1995.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Compiled by: Gypseenia Lion Photograph:123RF Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/teens\/about.html\">kidshealth.org<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up comes with a lot of new things.
