JESSICA FLORES: Hello. My name is Jessica and I'm a licensed esthetician for the last two years. I'm here today to talk to you about how to take care of teen acne. Because they are pustular breakouts, first and foremost, you need to stop the bacteria from spreading, and what I mean by that is first change your pillowcase. If you were having pustular breakouts, it is important that you sleep on a fresh pillowcase every single night. That is the first step in combatting that. Next, always wash your face with a wash cloth. Going up, whenever you're cleansing because our face is like shingles you want to go up to get that dirt out and the oils, and then always make sure you use your toner because you want to bring that pH back. You could also use distilled water. And then with your moisturizer, go down to seal all of that in. Whenever--if you've touched your face, try not to ever touch them or squeeze them. Whenever you squeeze them, you're only damaging the skin around and then they're only going to spread; and when you squeeze, the stuff comes out. It just spreads on other areas of the face. Always, always wash your face more often if you're having an acne problem.
