Teenage Acne
Teenage acne is caused at the onset of puberty because the body begins to produce more hormones called androgens. Males tend to produce more of these hormones and tend to have more hair follicles over there body. The hair follicles (pores) get blocked and the extra oil produced in puberty mixes with dead skin and dirt which blocks the pore and traps the material which then reacts with bacteria and causes swelling, redness and sometimes pus. The good news however, is that acne is not caused by chocolate, greasy food, dirt or masturbation/sexual activity.
Luckily, for most minor cases of teenage acne a gentle face wash with an anti bacterial agent can be enough to stop acne in its tracks. For example, the Derma Med Acne Gel uses tea tree oil (a powerful anti bacterium agent) which quickly destroys stubborn infections. Derma Med Acne Gel also contains Aloe Vera which is used to soothe and heal the skin and reduce itching and discomfort. Vitamins A and E protect and rebuild the natural structure of your bodies living tissue resulting in healthy looking, strong skin.
