How to Treat Acne For Teen Boys

Being a teenager is hard enough, and having acne just makes it worse. Most acne products are geared towards girls and thus, it can be hard for a teenage boy to find out what to use to treat his acne. Plus, while there is makeup for girls to cover up their pimples, there's not much out there to help boys hide acne. Here are some tips that will help in treating acne.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Use a gentle cleanser.
Step2
Use a toner. Find one that is gentle and won’t over-dry your skin.
Step3
Use medicated spot treatments to help dry up the pimple. There are medicated spot treatments that are skin-toned and, if fully rubbed into the skin, will help hide the pimple while treating it.
Step4
Use oil-free moisturizers. Put less moisturizer on your T-zone (chin, forehead and nose area) as that’s where most of the oil builds up.
Step5
Use a deep pore cleansing mask at least once a week. This will clear out your pores and help prevent the development of new pimples.

Tips & Warnings

  • Some of the above steps might "scare away" some teen boys, but if you do it in the privacy of your own room, no one will know! Also, many men these days are getting into facials (and other such spa-type procedures) to help make their skin healthy, so there’s nothing wrong with starting young. Plus, good grooming will attract the girls!

on 5/24/2008 Hi,
I used to have really bad acne . It was pretty embarassing to go to college with my acne patched face and I was desperate to get rid of it somehow. I took plenty of efforts to keep my face clean all the time and also ate nutritious food and drank lots of water. Unfortunately none of it helped. I then recently read an article about a lady who got rid of her acne using a particular product. I tried it and it worked really well. Within 4 weeks my acne was gone completely. Really good stuff. You can read more about the lady’s article at the link below.
