Why a Facial on Teenager’s Skin require?

Most young people will encounter clogged pores, acne and breakouts sooner or later amid an early age. In spite of being occupied with school, their social life, and sports, it's essential for them to set aside a few minutes to pay consideration to their skin and to understand the significance of good healthy skin.

Right now is an ideal opportunity to patch the impacts of the mid-year sun and to clear and forestall hormonal skin inflammation and breakouts to get their skin looking awesome?

What are the benefits of a teen facial? 

There are many benefits of facials, but for teens, in particular, facials will help clean out blackheads and clogged pores caused by oil production. Skincare products used at home can only help reduce clogged pores. It takes a professional esthetician to properly prepare and soften the skin before manual extractions can take place in a safe and effective way. 

Also, facials are geared to problem solve. The level of the intensity of a facial is contingent on the severity of the skin’s issues. Teens tend to have problem skin, but what works for some might not work for others. An esthetician can offer to advise on the best way to address a teen’s specific skin concerns.

Best age: During the teenage years, hormones can really start to fluctuate which can aggravate the skin and cause blemishes and breakouts. Those who produce a lot of oil and/or have weak follicular walls will experience more severe breakouts, including stubborn cystic acne. That being said, age 15 is a good time for teens to start coming in for facials. Even if problem skin isn’t yet an issue, it’s a good time to start teaching teenagers how to care for their skin.

What does a teen facial include?

A teen facial at KEMPS Skin Clinic includes a thorough skin analysis to determine the teen’s skin type and needs of his or her skin. The skin is gently exfoliated using ultrasonic exfoliation to loosen surface dry cells to prepare the skin for a deep pore cleansing. Steam is also included to soften the pores, which will allow for manual extractions done safely so as not to harm the integrity of the skin. A customized mask appropriate for the skin type is then applied and the facial finished with an oil-free lotion. During the facial, the ways in which diet and lifestyle can affect the skin are also discussed, as well as suggestions about how to care for the skin at home with simple, but effective routines.

How often should teens have facials? This truly depends on the skin issues of each teen. Depending on the severity of problem skin, we recommend every 2 weeks for those who have plenty of issues with acne and every 4 months for maintaining healthy, clear skin. Teaching teens the importance of caring for their skin with regular facials is a great gift that not only affects their appearance, but also their self-esteem.

What is the Best Time for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser therapy is ideal for removing hair in super-targeted areas, destroying hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin. This procedure combines two fast and powerful lasers for light skin tones and darker skin tones. The lasers work by translating the light into heat, and the heat then damages the hair follicle and inhibits growth. Before each laser pulse, a cooling agent is sprayed onto the skin providing increase comfort during treatments and to minimize surrounding tissue damage.

Sun exposure is limited in the winter season:

In the winter months, you’re far less likely to inadvertently spend too much time in the sun and get tan. Why does this matter? Because laser hair removal can’t be performed on sunburned or tanned skin. It isn’t even recommended for skin that’s only sun-kissed, or slightly tan.  

When laser hair removal is done on skin that’s darker than its normal, natural shade, it increases the risk of inaccurate laser settings, which can wind up damaging your skin.

Likewise, prolonged sun exposure should also be avoided following laser hair removal, as the laser makes the treatment area more sensitive and susceptible to UV damage.  

For these reasons, it’s a good idea to protect your skin from sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your first treatment, and maintain consistent sun protection measures throughout your entire treatment cycle. For most people, this task is far easier to accomplish in the winter months.

Preparation for laser hair removal is easier in the winter:

Laser hair removal targets active-growth hair follicles, but it can only target those follicles if there’s some amount of hair in the follicle itself. This means that the treatment doesn’t work on areas that have been waxed, plucked, or cleared with depilatory cream, as these removal methods pull hair out at the root, leaving nothing behind for the laser to focus on.

The best way to prepare for laser hair removal is by shaving the treatment area one or two days before your appointment. Your remaining growth should be close enough to the surface of your skin that virtually all of the laser’s energy is directed down the short stubble and into the follicle.  

During warm summer months when you’re used to maintaining a stricter hair removal practice, it can be more challenging to avoid waxing and other treatments that give you the smooth, hair-free skin you want. Going through the process in the winter months means you can keep those stubbly areas covered up, and you’ll be less tempted to just rip that unwanted hair out at the root.  

It can take a few months to complete laser hair removal:

The late fall or early winter is an ideal time to begin the laser hair removal process, which typically takes a few months to complete. By the time you finish your last session, you’ll be hair-free and swimsuit-ready just as the warm weather rolls in.

Laser hair removal takes a few months to complete because of the fact that your hair grows in cycles. Of the three phases of growth your hair goes through — anagen, catagen, and telogen — anagen is the only active-growth phase.

Remember, the laser only targets active-growth hair follicles. So hair follicles that are in the catagen or telogen phase during your first session won’t be affected by the treatment at all.

To make sure the treatment gets rid of most of the hair in a specific area, you’ll need to have multiple laser hair removal sessions over the course of time.

Make sure you don’t get a temperature shock when you get home or when you’re going out. If the temperature inside your house or apartment is much warmer than outside it can irritate your skin and scalp.

2. Turn the Hot Water Down

A really hot shower feels so good on a cold-weather day. BUT if you want to care for your scalp, you should turn the temperature of your shower down. Hot water is neither good for your skin or your hair.

Hot water dehydrates your skin and hair. It’s actually like cooking the moisture out of your skin.

In winter it’s recommended that you wash your hair minimum. In the cold weather season we found, that if you’re shampooing your hair two or three times a week, you can prevent your hair from drying out too much.

In the winter season, your scalp will be drier and that can lead to dandruff and scalp irritation, which in the worst-case scenario can lead to hair fall.

It’s really important to keep your scalp moisturized. It’s important that do oil your hair regularly, really don’t forget the oil your hair needs.

Use olive or coconut oil, massage it into your scalp and leave it in for 20 minutes, and finally, rinse it out with shampoo and conditioner.

5.Use Conditioner for Hair

Conditioner is a must! We’ve said it before; conditioning your hair after shampooing should be an important part of your hair routine.

During winter we recommend you to use a deep conditioner plus a leave-in treatment, especially for those who are living up North India.

6. Dry Your Hair Correctly

When it comes to drying your hair, you should really treat your hair with care.Even though a blow dryer is the best tool if you want to style your hair to perfection, it can also be really harmful to your hair as the heat can dry out your hair and scalp.

How to get rid of hormonal acne

Skin concerns can often be attributed to hormonal changes that take place during the course of one’s life, and there are certain periods, namely puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, where this holds particularly true. Hormones can wreak havoc on the skin in a rather unpredictable manner during these times. There are some ways by using dermatologist to treat your Ance.

Hormonal therapies – the combined contraceptive pill: The combined oral contraceptive pill, aka 'the pill' can be used to control acne in women requiring contraception. It works because the oestrogen in the contraceptive pill reduces sebum and androgen production. Data suggests that it can take up to three months to see skin benefits from the contraceptive pill and certain pills. 

Spironolactone: Spironolactone is another oral drug that can be used by specialists, namely dermatologists, to treat acne in females. In many instances, doctors can be reluctant to prescribe it, as it's an 'off-label' drug. This means it was licensed for another reason, in this case, to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Aside from this, spironolactone is an androgen-blocker, which means it slows down the production of male hormones, which are responsible for excess oil and breakouts. "Spironolactone has a useful role in female adults and those with PCOS especially, It should only be prescribed by a specialist with extensive experience of its use.

Make an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss whether spironolactone is right for you, depending on your medical history and lifestyle.

Isotretinoin: Isotretinoin is a vitamin A‑based drug that is highly effective in severe, recalcitrant acne with signs of scarring .It also has a role in acne that is resistant to treatment with other agents, relapses quickly after completion of antibiotic therapy or is having a profound psychological impact. So how exactly does it work? Well, it stops oil glands from producing too much sebum and speeds up shedding of dead skin cells, which both works to prevent blocked pores that lead to spots. There are side-effects, though. Dry, cracked skin is common on isotretinoin and close supervision by a specialist is largely required.

Skincare – retinoids: Often touted as the gold standard in anti-aging skincare, retinoids also play a significant role in treating acne. Retinoids are vitamin A-based products that essentially stop skin cells from becoming sticky, In other words, they reduce the blockage of pores and prevent things like blackheads from forming. But there are some side-effects. So consult with your dermatologist first.

Skincare acids: No thanks to hormones, oil production can go into overdrive and, mixed with dead skin cells, it's a recipe for acne. But incorporating acids into your evening skincare routine could be the answer to minimizing those breakouts.

Make an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss whether what is right for you, depending on your medical history and lifestyle says by Dr. Manju Keshri Senior dermatologist at KEMPS Skin Clinic, Vaishali Sec-4, Ghaziabad.
