A teenage boy with acne - how to cleanse, how to shave and what supplements may help (get rid of hormonal acne)
Acne during adolescence may negatively impact the confidence, especially when one is a self- conscious teenage boy who refuses to care for the skin as they think it is ‘too girly’ to use cosmetics. This is a very simple skincare routine for a teenage boy with minimum effort and products that helps to get rid of hormonal acne gently and naturally.
Teenage acne is most commonly caused by hormones but also certain synthetic ingredients in skincare products may cause acne, as the skin reacts to them by breaking out with spots, pimples and blemishes. Also, some ingredients may clog the pores, further aggravating the issue. So it’s important to choose the products wisely.
This simple skincare routine for breakouts and acne works in harmony with the skin and will nourish it so that it has the ability to restore its natural healthy balance.
SIMPLE SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR A TEENAGE BOY WITH HORMONAL ACNE BREAKOUT AND PIMPLE PRONE SKIN
CLEANSING
Every day before shaving cleanse with Sana Naturals Exfoliating Face Wash which will:
- Gently remove dirt and excess sebum without stripping the skin of its natural protective barrier
- Help to soothe irritation, inflammation and redness
- Keep the proper moisture level in the skin
- Gently exfoliate, helping to prevent breakouts and will prolong the smooth skin effect after shaving
SHAVING
Instead of commercial gels/foams use grapeseed oil for shaving (found in any supermarket or health food store).
Wet the face with water, massage some oil on the skin and shave as normal. Then use a warm wet cloth/towel to remove excess oil.
MOISTURISE
Spritz the face with alcohol free lavender water and apply a few drops of Sana Naturals Serum. It will:
- Help to balance sebum production
- Soothe redness and irritation
- Keep breakouts and blackheads at bay

A budget option: instead use a few drops of grapeseed oil on damp skin.
