How should a teenage boy take care of his facial skin?
During puberty, it's crucial to establish a proper facial skincare routine to prevent issues like acne, blackheads, and scarring.
The most important step is daily cleansing in the morning and evening with a gel, foam, or cream cleanser - not kid's soap, which dries out the skin. After cleansing, it's necessary to wipe the face with a toner, avoiding any alcohol-containing ones that can disrupt the skin's balance.
Further care depends on the specific issues. For blackheads and occasional breakouts, basic cleansing and toning may be enough. If oily shine is the main problem, mattifying products are needed. However serious antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and keratolytic care is required for multiple inflamed pimples, preferably used in the evenings.
Don't squeeze pimples, as this will only spread the infection. Instead, use targeted spot treatments with applicators to quickly calm inflammation.
Once a week, you can add a face mask or scrub, but avoid scrubs with harsh granules that can further irritate the skin. Don't use masks during severe breakouts to avoid aggravating the issue.
The key points are regular cleansing, choosing products suited to your skin type and concerns, and being gentle with inflamed areas.
