Tips for Taking Care of Your Skin: Teen-20s

February 7, 2013

Your skin is still very young in your teens and early 20s. Unfortunately, this also means that oil production is at its peak and acne could be just around the corner. Or maybe you are the opposite and have chronically dry skin. Either way, we are here to give you some tips for taking care of your skin in your teens and 20s.

For many people oil production blocks pores and causes acne. One way to deal with this is to take skin care seriously. Make sure to wash your face every morning and every night with a salicylic acid face wash. Follow that will a non-comedogenic (AKA oil-free) moisturizer to keep your face hydrated. If you see a pimple starting to form, use an acne spot treatment or talk to one of our dermatologists. A lot of times people need stronger spot treatment like a retinol or higher percentage benzoyl peroxide cream.

Skin in your twenties depends on your skin type (oily, dry combination). If you have naturally oily skin, you are likely to still have breakouts. If you have naturally dry skin, you won’t necessarily have breakouts but the dry skin could lead to quicker aging. The main idea is to be gentle and treat your skin for the type you have- you should know it by now! If you need help identifying what your skin type is and what skin care regimen is best, give us a call today at 865-690-9467.

Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Visit with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential. Schedule an appointment with Knoxville Dermatology Group today.
