What Cosmetics to Use for Teenagers Face Wash

The usual division of skins into the common types, dry, combined and oily, can be distorted during the puberty. Young people usually have oily or combination skin with rare exceptions. After getting older, the skin type may change, but from 11 to 18 years the skin condition is extremely unstable thus it gives boys and girls the certain problems and disturbance.

Why do teenagers have oily skin?

In puberty the activity of the sebaceous glands leads to the intensive releasing of the sebaceous secret. The sebaceous ducts do not succeed with removing extended amount of sebum and become blocked with the inflammations in the place of the sebaceous plugs, which have a form of acne, comedones, pustules etc. plus a constant greasy shine, dull skin color, enlarged pores. This situation looks very sad. Rare teenager can wait until this state returns to normal, moreover wait until the problem disappears by itself. It is an extremely irrational approach, because it is very difficult to restore skin after being damaged in youth. Acne and ulcers can leave spots and scars, and removing of these consequences may be unsuccessful.
