Acne is very common in teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18. This skin condition can greatly affect a person’s confidence. There are several options when it comes to treating acne in teen patients. Two things that have actually been known to make acne worse are constantly washing your face and applying force when doing so.

Washing the face twice a day with a face wash containing SPF and salicylic acid is recommended. A light moisturizer should be used after your face is clean, if you skip the moisturizer your skin may assume it is dry and begin to produce more oil. Changing the pillowcase on which you sleep each night is also beneficial in keeping your skin clean.

Medication is always an option to consider as well. Most prescription medication contains benzoyl peroxide, which helps eliminate trouble areas by acting as an antibacterial agent. Other medications are also helpful if they are tailored to your specific skin type.
