With the onset of puberty, thousands of teens are impacted by acne.

The severity of the problem ranges from very mild cases, with occasional zits and blemishes marring an otherwise perfect face to extreme cases that are prolonged eruptions that consistently cover the facial dermis and other parts of the body.

Acne is not confined to just the face, but can appear on a teen's back, chest and other areas. Aside from the actual physical scarring that acne can cause, it can also wreak havoc on a teen's fragile emotions and impact their self esteem. Derogatory terms, like "pizza face", can wound as deeply as a direct punch. The humiliation suffered by teens with problem acne can be as bad as the blemishes themselves.

Antibacterial cleansers, balancing toners and oil-free moisturizers should be incorporated into a daily skin care routine to help prevent eruptions in mild cases. These products are readily available in department and drug stores. A daily skin care routine can help to minimize outbreaks and help prevent future eruptions. A healthy lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and daily skin care should be emphasized as parents, as this will help your teenager develop into a healthy adult.
