5 Dermatologist Tips to Help Your Teen Fight Acne

August 26, 2014 by Nicole

Fun Zit Fact: By the time moms have (finally) learned how to deal with their skin breakouts, it will be time to learn how to deal with their child’s breakouts.

Thank you to Neutrogena for providing the Dream Team Mom’s Guide along with a variety of Neutrogena acne products to me. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. The sponsor is responsible for giveaway prize fulfillment. 

I have a tween-age son who just started playing football – complete with pads and helmets. A couple days ago, he comes up to me and says, “Mom, what’s wrong with my chin? There are some weird bumps on it.” Sure enough, I looked and saw 3 or 4 pimples popping up where his football helmet’s chin strap sits and rubs dirt and oil into his skin.

I am so not ready to deal with teen problems like acne. I just barely got my own skin under control!

Neutrogena-Acne-Face-Wash

Luckily, the Neutrogena Dream Team created a Mom’s Guide To Helping Teens Fight Acne. I read the guide and want to share 5 dermatologist tips to help your teen fight acne.

*It’s important to remember that fighting acne takes time. Pimples forming under the skin can remain unseen for up to eight weeks. A daily acne-fighting routine can help your teen break the unseen acne cycle.

  1. Get into an acne-fighting routine with your teen. The positive changes he or she will see in skin’s appearance are the best incentive to stick with the program.
  2. Start with a basic acne wash with Microclear morning and night. This fights blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples, as well as acne forming under the skin that won’t be visible for weeks.
  3. It is important for girls to remove makeup before cleansing, because makeup can plug pores (causing blackheads). Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes get the job done in one easy sweep.
  4. Once face wash has become a twice-daily habit, add a sunscreen like Neutrogena Clear Face. This protects skin against cancer and sun damage, and minimize the brown spots left behind when pimples clear up.
  5. Finally, introduce a spot treatment to zap visible acne.

If your teen experiences scars or textural changes, take them to a dermatologist. A derm can add personalized treatments to your at-home routine.

What We’re Doing at Our House:

I talked to my son about the importance of face wash morning and night – especially after he wears that dirty helmet. He is on board with the plan. I gave him a bottle of Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Acne Wash (Pink Grapefruit) to use. We both love the citrus scent.

Do you have a teen? How do you deal with teen acne? What are your favorite Neutrogena products?
