Teenage Skin

With teenage years comes a dramatic change in hormone levels – in particular an increase in the production of testosterone, a male hormone which is produced by both men and women. Testosterone can trigger the sebaceous glands in the skin to produce increased levels of sebum, which gives rise to an oilier complexion and can provide the perfect environment for pimples to thrive. Furthermore, if you already have oily or combination skin, you are more likely to suffer from outbreaks.
