Skin
Care Tip: Sometimes
it may seem like your skin is impossible to manage, especially when you wake up
and find a huge zit on your nose or a cold sore at the corner of your mouth. The
good news is that there are ways to prevent and treat common skin problems - read
on for some tips. Acne A
pimple starts when the pores in the skin become clogged with a type of oil called
sebum, which lubricates the skin and hair. Acne is common during puberty when
hormones go into overdrive, causing the skin to overproduce sebum. Because many
oil-producing glands are on the forehead, nose, and chin, this area - the T-zone
- is where a person is most prone to pimples. Here
are some tips to help prevent breakouts and clear them up as fast as possible: Wash
your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people
with acne. Gently massage your face with circular motions. Don't scrub. Overwashing
and scrubbing can cause skin to become irritated. After cleansing, the American
Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends applying an over-the-counter (no prescription
needed) lotion containing benzoyl peroxide.
Don't pop pimples. It's tempting,
but here's why you shouldn't: Popping pimples can push infected material further
into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring. If you
notice a pimple coming before a big event, like the prom, a dermatologist can
often treat it for you with less risk of scarring or infection.
Avoid touching
your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum
and skin residue like the telephone receiver. Touching your face can spread the
bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated. To keep bacteria at
bay, wash your hands before applying anything to your face, such as treatment
creams or makeup.
If you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them
frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.
If
you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes, which don't allow skin
to breathe and may cause irritation. You also might want to stay away from scarves,
headbands, and caps, which can collect dirt and oil, too.
Remove your makeup
before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say
"noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic" on the label. Throw away
old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it. Keep
hair clean and out of your face to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging
your pores.
Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan masks acne,
but it's only temporary. A tan can cause the body to produce extra sebum, which
may worsen your acne, not improve it. Tanning also causes damage to skin that
will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer.
If
you're concerned about acne, talk to a dermatologist. Dermatologists offer a range
of treatments that help to prevent and clear up acne and acne scars. A dermatologist
can help you find the treatment method that's best for you and can also give you
lots of useful tips for dealing with acne and caring for your skin type. Some
salons and spas have trained skin specialists, called estheticians, who can offer
advice and skin care treatments. Sun
and Skin
When we're outdoors, we all know we need to protect our skin from
the sun's harmful rays. Of course, it's impossible to avoid the sun - who wants
to hide indoors all summer when it feels so great to get outside and be active?
And the sun's not all bad, anyway: Sunlight helps our bodies create vitamin D.
So follow these tips when you're outdoors to help manage sun exposure: Wear
sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, even if it's cloudy
or you don't plan on spending a lot of time outdoors. If you go swimming or plan
to stay outside, reapply sunscreen (even if the bottle says the sunscreen is waterproof)
every 2 to 3 hours.
Choose a sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Look
for the words "broad spectrum protection" or UVA protection in addition
to the SPF of 15 or greater. Select a sunscreen that says "nonacnegenic"
or "noncomedogenic" on the label to help keep pores clear.
The sun's
rays are strongest between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, so make sure you reapply sunscreen
frequently and take breaks indoors if you can. If your shadow is longer than you
are tall, then it's a safer time to be in the sun (you should still wear sunscreen,
though).
Apply more sunscreen (with higher SPF) when you're around reflective
surfaces like water, snow, or ice.
We all know that the sun can damage skin,
but did you know it can contribute to eye problems, too? Protect your face and
eyes with a hat and sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection.
Some medications,
such as prescription acne medications or birth control pills, can increase your
sensitivity to the sun, so if you're taking medication, increase your sun protection.
If
you want the glow of a tan, try faking it with self-tanners or salon tanning treatments.
Avoid tanning beds, though, because although manufacturers claim that tanning
beds are free of UVB rays, they still use harmful UVA rays. Cold
Sores
Cold sores are caused by a type of herpes virus (HSV-1, which most often
is not sexually transmitted) so they're contagious from person to person. Once
you get this virus it stays in your body, meaning you'll probably get cold sores
every now and then throughout your life. Here are ways you can help prevent cold
sores from making an appearance (or reappearance if you've had them in the past). Avoid
getting cold sores in the first place by not sharing stuff like lip balm, toothbrushes,
or drinks with other people who might have cold sores. The virus that causes cold
sores is transmitted through the nose (in mucus) and the mouth (in saliva).
People
who have the virus know that cold sores can flare up from things like too much
sun, stress, or being sick. Just one more reason to lather on that suntan lotion,
eat well, exercise, and get plenty of sleep!
If you do have a cold sore, here
are some tips for keeping yourself comfortable: Take
acetaminophen or ibuprofen if the cold sores are painful.
Suck on ice pops
or cubes to ease pain and keep cold sores cool.
Stay away from acidic foods
(like oranges, tomatoes, and lemonade) and salty, spicy foods, which can cause
irritation.
Don't pick at cold sores while you're waiting for them to go away.
They may bleed or become infected with bacteria.
Usually, cold sores go away
on their own after a week or 2. But if you get them frequently or they're a problem,
talk to your doctor or dermatologist. He or she may be able to prescribe a medication
to alleviate symptoms and shorten the amount of time cold sores last. Eczema
Eczema
is a condition that causes skin to become red, itchy, and dry. If you have eczema,
you might notice that you are prone to getting itchy rashes - especially in places
like where your elbows and knees bend or on your neck and face. The symptoms of
eczema can vary from person to person. Though you can't cure eczema forever, there
are things you can do to prevent it from flaring: Stay
away from things like harsh detergents, perfumed soaps, and heavily fragranced
lotions that tend to irritate the skin and trigger eczema.
Because water tends
to dry out the skin, take short, warm showers and baths. If you're going to have
your hands in water for a long time (like when you're washing dishes or your car),
try wearing gloves.
Soothe your skin with regular applications of moisturizer
to prevent itching and dryness. Creams generally moisturize a bit better and last
longer than lotions for most people. Creams work best if applied when the skin
is slightly wet, like just after bathing.
Be careful what fabrics you wear.
Cotton is good because it's breathable and soft. Try to stay away from materials
like wool or spandex that may cause irritation or allergic reactions.
Keep
stress in check. Because stress can lead to eczema flares, try activities like
yoga or walking after a long day to keep your stress levels low.
If you wear
makeup, look for brands that are free of dyes and fragrances that can aggravate
eczema.
If you're having trouble managing your eczema, talk to a dermatologist.
He or she will be able to suggest ways you can better control it. Other
Skin Conditions
Warts are tiny skin infections caused by viruses of the human
papilloma virus (HPV) family. There's no way to prevent warts from occurring (other
than avoiding contact with people who have warts already), but if you do get them,
don't rub, pick, or scratch them because you can spread the virus and get new
warts. Some over-the-counter medications containing special acids can help get
rid of warts, but it's always a good idea to see your doctor before trying one.
If you find warts in your genital area, you should see your doctor, who can recommend
the best treatment method for that sensitive area. Another
type of wart-like viral infection is molluscum contagiosum. (It's not as scary
as its name sounds!) Like warts, it can be transmitted through scratching and
sexual contact. Fine
white or purplish lines on the skin called stretch marks are pretty common in
most teens. Stretch marks are formed when the tissue under your skin is pulled
by rapid growth or stretching, like during puberty. Stretch marks usually fade
on their own over time. Talk to a dermatologist if you're concerned about them. Because
our skin is the most visible reflection of what's going on in our bodies, people
equate healthy skin with beauty. But healthy skin is about more than just good
looks; it's essential to our survival. So keep your skin glowing with the right
skin care techniques and by eating well and getting lots of exercise. |
