Take off your makeup

This is one of those habits you need to start now. Make sure you remove it every evening, don’t go to bed and put your head on the pillow if you still have makeup on.  This can contribute to the formation of new spots by spreading bacteria and blocking pores. It is really important to follow a good skincare routine morning and night. You can find our skincare pack in the shop which contains the 3 essential products to get you on the right track taking care of your skin and improving teenage acne.

Clean what you touch

Change your pillowcase regularly; every other day if you can.  Clean your phone with some sanitiser to prevent bacteria from transferring to your skin. Avoid touching your face as this can also transfer dirt, grime and bacteria from your hands to your face. Wash your hands regularly too, you may not realise how often you are touching your face so making sure your hands are clean will prevent bacteria from spreading.

Microdermabrasion treatment

Microdermabrasion is very effective for teenage acne. It removes dead skin cells, dirt and grime from the skin surface using a jet of fine crystals. Dead skin cells play a part in the formation of spots as they block hair follicles and pores along with sebum. With microdermabrasion, your complexion will feel smoother and the treatment will help to draw out impurities, ultimately resulting in clearer skin. Find your nearest beauty therapist offering these treatments.

IPL for acne

If you are 18+, Intense pulsed light is great for acne-prone skin. IPL uses light energy to destroy spot-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation and prevent excess sebum production. It also helps to improve the appearance of the skin and improve its texture. It literally stops acne in its track. If you have already tried our other recommendations with no improvements, SkinBase IPL is a very effective acne treatment.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
