Some things will never change.  Just like when you were a teen, the teens of today and tomorrow will continue to struggle with skin that seems to be out of control.  Is the teen you know:

·         Selecting alcohol-based products that strip oils from skin?

·         Picking, poking, and popping their breakouts?

·         Covering with makeup rather than treating the problem?

·         Being mislead by incorrect information?

·         Having a multitude of products that do not equate to good choices?

What's Your Skin Type?

Before you can care for your skin and keep it healthy, you need to identify your skin type. The four main types of skin are normal, dry, oily, and combination:

Normal skin has an even, smooth skin tone; soft texture; and no visible blemishes, red spots, or flaky patches. Pores are barely visible, and the skin surface is neither greasy nor dry. Normal skin has few imperfections because of the balanced amount of water and oil and good blood circulation.

Dry skin is dull, rough, scaly, and itchy, with almost invisible pores. Dry skin is usually caused by a lack of oil secretion to the surface of the skin.  In normal situations, lubrication from the body's natural oils helps to prevent water loss from the skin and creates a soft and hydrated surface.

Oily skin is acne-prone skin with open pores, a shiny complexion, blackheads, and pimples.  Because hormones affect oil production, anything that affects your hormone levels may influence your skin. Some experts believe that stress, such as from exams, may trigger outbreaks of acne. Many teens know that acne in itself creates added stress!

With normal/combination skin, you might have an oily "T-Zone" (forehead, nose, and chin with blackheads) and dry skin elsewhere.  Normal/combination skin can be either overly dry or excessively oily, in specific areas of the face. Depending on the time of year, the oiliness and dryness can change, too. The skin is usually drier when the weather is cold.
