Being a teen comes with significant challenges. You are starting to become autonomous while still very emotionally vulnerable. On top of this, skin problems like acne peak during the teen years and can really affect self-esteem. Luckily, Hale Cosmeceuticals has spent more than 20 years studying the causes of teen acne and developing solutions that really work.
The main contributing factor to teenage acne is fluctuating hormones. The follicles in your skin regularly produce oils to fight dryness and provide lubrication. When your body starts to change, however, this oil production can get out of control. When too much oil is produced, your skin’s normal systems cannot adequately absorb it, and it can mix with skin cells to clog your pores. When acne gets very severe, these clogged pores create ideal conditions for bacterial growth. Blocked pores can burst and spread infection.
