HORMONAL CHANGES DURING PUBERTY AND TEEN YEARS CAN CAUSE AN INCREASE IN SEBUM GLANDS AND IN OIL PRODUCTION, ESPECIALLY IN THE T-ZONE. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, TEENS TYPICALLY USE HARSH, DRYING OTC PRODUCTS THAT STRIP THE OIL AND END UP DEHYDRATING AND SENSITIZING THE SKIN. THIS CAN LEAD TO PATCHES OF DRY FLAKY AREAS AND AN EVEN GREATER INCREASE IN THE OIL PRODUCTION. THE SKIN ACTUALLY BECOMES DEHYDRATED (A MOISTURE DRY CONDITION). IT BECOMES A VICIOUS CYCLE.
SOLUTIONS:
PRODUCTS - CLEANSE TWICE A DAY. FOR A MILD OILY SKIN TYPE USE A GENTLE GEL BASED CLEANSER LIKE UGC. IF YOUR'E SUPER OILY I RECOMMEND A GEL CLEANSER THAT CONTAINS OIL ABSORBING MANDELIC ACID LIKE A MANDELIC WASH. A SALICYLIC BASED TONER CAN ALSO HELP WITH REDUCING OIL. KEEP SKIN HYDRATED WITH A LIGHT HYDRATING GEL. DON'T FORGET THE SPF!! ALL PRODUCTS CAN BE FOUND ON MY ONLINE STORE AT AYLINSKINCARE.COM. CONTACT CARA FOR A FREE TEEN PRODUCT CONSULTATION.
SUPPLEMENTS - OMEGA 3 FISH OILS ARE GREAT FOR BALANCING OIL PRODUCTION IN THE SKIN. NOT ALL BRANDS ARE ALIKE. CONTACT CARA FOR RECOMMENDATIONS OF HIGH QUALITY BRANDS.
NUTRITION - TRY TO CUT BACK ON DAIRY PRODUCTS. THE HORMONES AND IODIDES CONTAINED IN DAIRY PRODUCTS CAN KICK UP THE OIL PRODUCTION. TRY TO EAT PLENTY OF FRUIT AND VEGGIES!
