Do you know how to avoid spotty teenage skin? The skin is less likely to become problematic during the hormonal surge of adolescence when cared for with topical doses of Vitamins A, C, E, growth factors, peptides and antioxidants. Problematic skin is one of the world’s most common teenage conditions, affecting over 85% of adolescents and up to 50% of adults over 25 years of age.
Skin Goals
The goal of any treatment is to avoid unsightly changes in the first place with preventative solutions. In the case that hormonal changes do affect the skin adversely, topical solutions can be applied to help control the crisis is a break-out event. Gentle services designed for sensitive and break-out-prone skin may also be extremely helpful on the journey to clear-looking skin.
The Problem
Harsh prescriptions for problematic skin treatments often cause side effects such as pain, redness, dryness and peeling. This is due to retinoid reactions that occur when skin is rapidly introduced to high levels of Vitamin A.
Teens and Adults
The complication condition of acne also affects adult populations and sometimes occurs in conjunction with pregnancy or during stressful life events.

Myth Debunked

Answer: More likely than not, the skin actually needs effective hydrating and vitamin-rich solutions. The types of ingredients shown to improve skin appearance are Vitamins A, C, E, antioxidants, peptides, and growth factors. Environ’s cleansing and toning solutions work synergistically to prep the skin adequately for the recommended Vitamin A treatment options.

Unless you’re getting a professional extraction, leave visible breakouts be. Don’t touch your face. Trust us, the blemish will be less noticeable over the course of its life if it’s not further irritated. Taking a look at other body products, laundry detergents and hair styling products may have the potential to adversely affect the look of skin; look for organic and natural-based (no synthetic fragrances) cleaning products. Getting on a vitamin and antioxidant-rich skin care regimen will save headaches down the road, not to mention save you money on ineffective “band aid” options.
The sun can be your friend or enemy, so always stay sun smart. Stylish hats and glasses are encouraged! Nourish your body from the inside out with foods like leafy greens, apples, nuts and whole foods. Steer clear of sugar-based processed foods like white bread and cereal.
