Clear skin with JimJams CLEAN and MATT Black Soap
Teenage years often leave their mark through hormonal changes and the stress of city life and it is no surprise that young people want to get rid of these signs as quickly as possible.
Acne prone skin which is commonly seen during adolescence can cause a lot of frustration. Due to hormonal changes the sebaceous glands often become overactive and produce excess oil. This excess oil mixes with normally shedding dead skin cells and with the dust and dirt that come with city living. The mixture can clog the pores. Poor cleansing habits or neglected skin allow sebum to build up which creates an ideal environment for bacteria and the inflammation that follows. If this is combined with squeezing the skin improperly it can even lead to widespread inflammation.
How to care for teen skin
If the problem has already appeared the first and most important step is to establish a proper skincare routine. This does not mean using harsh alcohol based products that dry the skin to the extreme but rather a routine that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. One of the most effective and widely used ingredients in this case is ichthyol the main component of black soaps and the reason for their dark color.
Ichthyol has excellent antimicrobial properties and helps regulate sebum production which makes it very effective at preventing acne and the inflammation that accompanies it. It has astringent and disinfecting effects so it can be used both at home and after professional treatments. It helps dissolve dead skin cells and prevents clogged pores. Ichthyol can influence the enzymes responsible for inflammatory processes at a cellular level. It also inhibits the growth of the Propioni bacteria that cause acne.
One of the keys to treating teen skin is thorough cleansing with the right cosmetic products that contain suitable active ingredients. Solanie black soap is a great helper in this process supporting both home care and professional treatments for teenage skin.
