As bodies change and style is of utmost importance, appearance is a huge deal to teenagers. During this time, any capable mother can feel a little lost about how to handle all the changes their child is going through. A new study, conducted by Proactiv, reveals these shocking stats:
Did you know?
- 66% of moms would feel worse if their teen had acne for an entire semester than if their teen didn’t have a date to the prom
- 66% of moms think they know more about how their teen feels about school than their looks
- 65% of moms believe their teens know more about algebra than how to prevent or treat their acne
- 52% of moms who have acne-prone teens feel sad or helpless (49%) when their teens breakout
- 49% of moms believe they are better suited to help with their teen’s homework than assist them in dealing with their acne
- 46% of moms who experienced acne as a teen feel worse about their teens inheriting appearance problems than health issues
- 41% of moms would give up an hour of sleep every night for a year to ensure that their teen has eternally clear skin
Dr. Alyson Levine, a dermatologist from Chappaqua, NY, who specializes in treating teenage acne, believes that teens and their moms need some additional schooling when it comes to treating acne, and offers these tips:
o Know what to look for
o Start treatment early
o Don’t minimize acne insecurities
o Treatment options
I had heard a lot about Proactiv and was really curious about how well it worked. And to tell you the truth, I am very pleased with all of it!
I break out quite often. Nothing huge, just one or two here and there. And of course my big break out around 'that time of the month'. Once I started using Proactiv, everything cleared up, and kept it gone! And when one did want to show it's ugly head, I used the Spot Treatment, and BAM! it was gone!
The body wash was equally as wonderful! I get little break outs on my upper chest, upper back, and upper arms. Like, I said, not bad, it's just a little annoying. The body wash worked very well and keeps me clear of the annoyance!
All of the products smelled really good, and none of them burned like a normal acne wash would. My skin never peeled, or got irritated.
If you, or your teen is looking for an answer for acne problems, I urge you to give Proactiv a try!
