Your teenager cannot stop pimples altogether but here are some things that might help:- regularly washing the skin with soap and water or skin cleanser- (no more than three times a day otherwise there is a risk of more oil and more pimples).
- touching pimples as little as possible - (fingers are a terrific source of germs and the more often the pimple is touched the more it is aggravated).
- reducing the level of stress- (tiredness, overwork, exams, big events, worry, overpartying and difficult relationships can all trigger a "zit hit").
- exposing the skin to a little sunshine- (not enough to give sunburn).
- avoiding cosmetics and sunscreens which have an oil base.
- getting regular exercise, sleep and food. Some foods trigger pimple outbreaks in somepeople but there is no "pimple free" diet.
Getting your teenager to take note of what he is eating about the time pimples appear may give an idea about which foods are triggers.
- taking more care of personal hygiene around period time (your daughter may find pimples are more common just before a period).* * * * * * *
