Countdown to Prom: Repairing Dry and Blemished Skin
It's an age-old beauty dilemma: You use an arsenal of acne products every day to get rid of some wretched zits only to discover that your skin is now super flaky and irritated--and still spotted with pimples! It's enough to drive a girl absolutely nuts, and dermatologist Audrey Kunin--the doc behind the popular DERMAdoctor brand--says this happens to teens all the time. "It boils down to the fact that your skin is totally out of whack. Lots of teens with acne think they need to pile on the treatment products and dry out their skin, but this strips away the oil that's there to protect the skin," she explains. If your attempts to achieve clear skin by prom night has left you with this really annoying problem, Kunin recommends putting the breaks on your acne regimen for one week. "Set aside all of those products and only use a very gentle cleanser and moisturizer, like the ones from Cetaphil or CeraVe. After a week, you can re-introduce an acne product or two into your routine, but if the directions say to use just a dab, don't use any more than that!" she stresses. And even though it may seem to go against common sense, make sure you use skin-care products that are hydrating--it's hugely important for teens with oily and acne-prone skin, she adds.
