I have been an esthetician for over 20 years. I am always amazed at how physicians or others in my industry do not address the true cause of acne for most teenage girls. FOUNDATION!! In my practice I would not take a young lady that could not stop wearing liquid make up. The moment we convinced a teen to stop using foundation, cover up, or anything creamy on their face, the skin improved within 24 hrs. Teaching teens to mask properly,(milk of magnesia is an exceptional mask) cleanse properly,and clean all the “junk” out of their face the result became incredible!
As a esthetician, I had to learn natural ways to care for the skin. We did not use medications or invasive procedures. Natural, gets results that last a lifetime. Why don’t dermatologist start asking teens if they are wearing make up, and stop putting harmful medications into our young people. Fondly Lisa marie
