TEEN SKIN

Teen skin is often characteriSed by excess oil, congestion, and breakouts due to hormonal changes during puberty. Education and prevention are crucial at this stage to minimize long-term issues such as acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Causes

- Hormonal Changes: Increased androgens stimulate sebaceous glands, leading to excess sebum. 

- Follicular Hyperkeratinisation: Sticky skin cells clog pores. 

- Bacterial Proliferation: Cutibacterium acnes thrives in oily environments. 

- Inflammation: Leads to papules, pustules, and potential scarring. 

- Lifestyle: Poor diet, stress, and inadequate cleansing exacerbate breakouts.
