Features of teenage skin
It is impossible to unequivocally answer the question at what age teenagers can undergo facial cleansing, since changes in the body begin at different ages from 10 to 14 years. It is recommended to monitor the first manifestations of the transition period.
Most often, cleaning is done for teenagers from the age of 13-14, it is during this period that the active activity of the sebaceous glands begins. Skin changes under the influence of several factors:
- An excess of male sex hormones leads to excessive sebum secretion. Moreover, this process occurs at a faster rate than usual. Pores become clogged with excess sebum. The face of the forehead, nose, chin shines.
- Bacteria actively multiply in places where sebum accumulates. They penetrate deep into the pores and form purulent inflammation there.
- Errors in the daily care procedure. Teenagers often completely neglect cleansing the skin, and during periods of excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, it is necessary to include additional facial cleansing products (scrubs, masks).
- Young men in adolescence begin to grow facial hair, so they begin to shave, which injures the skin. Shaving is often contraindicated for problem skin.
Facial cleansing for teenagers
Do teenagers undergo facial cleansing? This is a question we are often asked by our patients, parents of children over 12 years old.
The answer is clear - of course they do, moreover, it is directly indicated for many teenagers. The methods depend on the clinical situation: the number of inflammatory elements, their severity, etc. For sensitive skin, ultrasonic facial cleansing demonstrates good results; in some cases, combined cleansing (manual + machine) is recommended. Facial cleansing during adolescence can minimize the incidence of acne in the future if done regularly. Of course, not in all cases you can get rid of acne once and for all, but you can significantly improve the condition and quality of your skin.
Also, cosmetologists may recommend light, superficial peelings that do not affect the deeper layers of the skin. Together with cleansing, peeling improves skin cellular respiration, evens out pores and makes the skin healthier.
At what age can (and should!) take a teenager to a cosmetologist and where to start care
Dermatologist and cosmetologist of the BioMi Vita clinic Inga Kozyrenko talks about what professional treatments are good for teenage skin, how often they can be done and why it is important to consult a specialist if you have acne or acne.
What skin problems are most common for teenagers?
The most common are increased oiliness, enlarged pores, blackheads and inflammatory elements (acne or acne).
On the other hand, there are children and adolescents with atopic dermatitis and dry skin. Special care and proper washing are important for them.
At what age is it time to go to a cosmetologist?
Contrary to popular belief that only adults should visit a cosmetologist, I will say that teenagers are also our frequent guests. Average age is 12-14 years.
Usually parents bring their children because they cannot cope with acne on their own. That's right: self-medication is fraught with unpleasant consequences! Young patients have a large number of rashes on their skin, and there are scars that form after improper treatment of acne. Of course, resurfacing cannot be done at this age, but if there are pronounced scars, I advise you to return to this procedure at 18 years old.
At a younger age, you can do a course of peelings to renew the skin of the face, back, and chest. They dry out and eliminate active inflammatory processes.
Where to start caring for a cosmetologist?
The first place in popularity is occupied by cleansing. There are several cleaning options available in our clinic: classic ultrasonic, mechanical and combined. The process uses professional cosmetics that “loose” the skin, cleans it of impurities, helps open the pores and make them more accessible for cleansing.
The scheme is as follows: we cleanse the skin with cosmetics, then do ultrasonic cleaning; if comedones remain, we remove them mechanically. Then we apply a finishing mask that tightens the pores and a light moisturizer in the form of cream, gel or fluid.
How often should (and can) cleansing and peeling be done?
Cleanings can be done once every 3-4 weeks. They are suitable for everyone, depending on skin type we offer different options. If the patient simply has oily skin and enlarged pores, Holy Land atraumatic cleansing is suitable: a specialist sequentially applies the compositions and then performs ultrasonic peeling. This allows you to painlessly cleanse the skin of dead skin cells and excess sebum. The remaining comedones are removed mechanically.
Peels are carried out in courses twice a year (the same as for adults) during periods of least solar activity. One course: 5-6 procedures with an interval of 7-10 days each.
For teenage skin, glycolic and salicylic peels are suitable, as well as combined superficial Jessner peeling, aimed at improving the condition of the skin, normalizing the functioning of the sebaceous glands and improving skin texture.
The Jessner peel contains salicylic and lactic acids. The first has an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic effect, works great on problematic oily skin. Lactic whitens, soothes, moisturizes, helps exfoliate dead skin particles, and also softens the effect of salicylic acid - this is important for thin sensitive skin with a small amount of inflammatory elements.
If the patient has a more advanced stage of acne, when there are more than five inflammatory elements, we do not perform ultrasonic cleaning - in this case it is contraindicated. The priority will be cleansing with atraumatic cosmetics, mechanical cleaning with cauterization of inflammatory elements so that the infection does not spread to healthy skin.

Basic recommendations after the procedure
Explain to your child that the following rules must be followed:
- do not touch your face on the first day to prevent bacteria from entering open pores;
- remove excess fat with a cloth soaked in chlorhexidine up to 2-3 times a day;
- after 12 hours, you can wash your face with cool mineral or (melt) water without soap, wipe your face with a decoction of herbs or a non-alcoholic tonic;
- spend less time on the street in the first three days;
- a week after cleaning, do not visit the bathhouse, pool, limit physical activity and exposure to the sun;
- do not touch crusts if they appear on areas of the skin injured during cleaning, so as not to provoke the appearance of age spots and inflammation in their place.
How to clean
The patient sits in a cosmetology chair. Teen facial cleansing begins with a cleansing procedure. A cosmetologist uses professional cosmetics that have a healing effect. To open access to the sebaceous ducts, it is necessary to expand the pores. This is done using a steam bath. For this purpose, there is a device in the cosmetologist’s office - a vaporizer. To soften the accumulation of sebum, the specialist performs manipulations using warming agents. After this, the specialist manually squeezes out the sebum. The procedure can be performed using fingers and a napkin, or using additional tools: an UNO spoon (metal loop) to remove particularly deep impurities in the pores and a Vidal needle to soften and pick up comedones. At the end of the cleansing procedure, the skin is treated with an antiseptic lotion. The procedure ends with applying a soothing cooling cream or mask to the skin. Completing the procedure with a mask allows you to tighten the pores, remove burning sensations and irritation on the skin. The total duration of the procedure is 90 minutes.

Features of facial skin in teenagers
First you need to figure out what kind of skin teenagers have and why is it like that?
As soon as boys and girls begin adolescence (this begins approximately at 11-12 years old), their body begins to undergo hormonal changes. The growth of these hormones affects not only the behavior of adolescents, but also their appearance: the sebaceous glands become more active, acne and pimples , and the skin thickens. If teenagers take proper care of their skin, they can keep it clean. Also, teenagers will not be subject to complexes and self-doubt.
But why do some teenagers have fewer rashes on their facial , while others have more? This is all due to the following factors:
- stressful situations;
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- eating junk food;
- weakened immunity ;
- taking certain medications.

The very first thing a teenager should do is cleanse their skin with various cleansers that do not contain alcohol or other aggressive ingredients. In these ways, a teenager’s skin will be better cleansed. The main thing is to know your skin type and select products for it.

But you should not use this product too often, as frequent use can dry out the treated areas of the skin. You can treat pimples up to twice a day for 3-5 days.
But you can also use special products that also contain not only salicylic acid, but also moisturizing components that can help prevent dry skin.
Also, if a teenager has problem skin, he should find a good cosmetologist and have his face .
A very important rule for teenagers to remember is to never squeeze pimples . No, this will not help at all, and will only make the situation worse.

Conclusion
Teenage skin needs special attention. High-quality daily facial cleansing in the morning and evening comes to the fore. At the same time, it is necessary to have your face cleaned by a cosmetologist on an ongoing basis approximately once a month. In particularly advanced cases, the procedure may be prescribed more often.

The less often professional cleaning is carried out, the larger the comedones become, the longer and more painful the procedure is, and accordingly, rehabilitation will also take more time.
