Acne on The Chin, Why Teens Experience this Problem. NJ Skin Care Expert Talks

Question: Hi Valentina - why does my teenage son only get bad acne around his chin and lower cheeks? The rest of his face seems fine.

Valentina: This is very common for teens. Acne around the chin is usually from overactive hormones, something all teens most likely will experience. The overactive hormones produce extra sebum (oil) around the chin and lower jaw line which tends to cause higher levels of acne there.

Your teen should be on a good skin care regimen. He should wash his face twice a day and follow that up with a toner and acne treatment for affected areas. If areas of his face are dry he should use a gentle moisturizer for those areas. Use an acne fighting exfoliator at least once a week as well.

It is a good idea to begin him on a monthly teen facial routine. The facial will help extract any impurities that are trapped beneath the skin’s surface. Removing them during a facial will often prevent them from forming whiteheads later on. Our Valentina's teen facial is formulated specifically for the problems of teen skin, we use all natural, anti-oxidant products.

It is important to regularly clean cell phones as well. Cell phones are notoriously dirty and full of bacteria. We often press them up against our cheeks when we talk which can cause breakouts. Also try to keep his hands away from his face. When oils from our fingers are transposed onto our skin, breakouts are likely.

If his skin does not respond to over the counter medicine, a dermatologist can recommend a prescription to treat his acne.

WHEN SHOULD NJ TEENS START WAXING THEIR EYEBROWS?

It’s difficult to pin point an exact age your child or teen should begin a regular hair removal regimen. Most kids want to follow the trends of their teen idols whom are of course having their eyebrows shaped to perfecting and regularly waxing their arms or legs.
For some kids, eyebrow waxing begins much earlier then hair removal of the legs or arms. Having overgrown eyebrows can be the target of ridicule and can make young teens feel insecure. If you are considering having your child’s eyebrows shaped or waxed, there are a few important things to remember.
1. Never let your child tweeze, shave, or wax their own eyebrows. At this young age, hair is delicate. A few incorrect rips could permanently destroy the root of some hairs, preventing them from growing back.
2. Do not attempt to tweeze or wax your child’s eyebrows unless of course you are a skilled professional. Eyebrows are meant to be shaped in proper accordance with an individual’s unique facial features and structure. Over or under-plucking can leave your child with eyebrows that look like they belong on someone else’s face.
3. Only take your child to a licensed, experienced professional. Remember, hair that has been waxed or tweezed from the root can take weeks to grow back. If your child’s eyebrows are misshapen at the hands of an inexperienced waxing technician, it could take weeks for hair to re-grow again.

Teen Spa services have become increasingly popular in recent years as spas have developed menus specifically tailored to our younger guests. If you are considering bringing your child to a spa for waxing or any other spa service, always ensure they have a special Teen Spa Menu which offers service that use products for teens. Most importantly, be sure that the spa is state licensed and their technicians are all licensed by the state as well. Before your appointment, ask for a tour of the spa. Inspect for cleanliness and sanity to ensure your child is in good hands.
