The Acne Relief

I look on yahoo answers all the time and see questions from 13 year olds and older looking for advice on what they can do about their teen acne. Teen acne is a problem that has always and will always plague teenagers. I personally feel the majority of acne problems derive from an internal imbalance of some sort, mostly from consuming too much junk food and poor personal hygiene. Teenagers are junk food junkys and are the worst at adapting to maintaining a clean body and surroundings. When acne all of a sudden appears teens and the parents behave as though this is some strange occurrence that has no origin. This is bogus. I don’t believe this anymore because I had acne. I finally came to grips with the reality that I caused a lot of my own acne problems due to poor personal hygiene and my parents did nothing to inquire.

Here is my point exactly: Before parents gave their teenagers full responsibility of bathing themselves, brushing their own teeth, washing their own clothes, changing their own linen, preparing their own meals, etc…..the parents did it for them. When parents felt it was time for their teens to start doing their own personal hygiene, acne began to show up on the scene.

Parents suddenly relinquish all control of their teenagers in this regard and then here comes acne, rapid weight gain, diabetes, etc. The parents sit back and wonder what happened. It’s simple, your teenager wasn’t ready to have full reign of his life. Parents have to supervise continually. If your child has an acne breakout don’t make buying the latest acne medication your first move. Find out why the acne appeared. Was it because your teen doesn’t bathe regularly especially after playing or after a game? Was it because your teen doesn’t ever change his pillowcase or bed sheets? Was it because your teen uses the same washcloth everyday? Was it because your teen eats too much candy? Was it because your teen drinks too many sodas? Was it because your teen shared someone elses cell phone that has acne? Was it because dog hair irritated your teen’s skin? The list goes on and on. Do a process of elimination and figure out where the acne possibly came from before you spend your money on an acne product. Together the parent and teen can figure out why the teen acne suddenly appeared. Trace back your teens steps and analyze every detail.
