Young girls and cosmetics

If women from above 25 are interested in anti winkles cosmetics, in the other side,teenagers are more and more in need of anti acne. If you're a teen, chances are pretty good that you have some acne. Almost 8 in 10 teens have acne

Ø But why do teens have acne ?

·      Teens general get acne because of the hormonal changes coming along with puberty.

·      It can also be an allergy at some drugs/cosmetics; or  a menstruation period acne.

Even if Acne is considered a normal part of puberty, knowing that doesn't always make it easier when you're looking at a big pimple on your face in the mirror.

Ø How to prevent,and treat?

·       To prevent the oil buildup  which contribute to acne, wash your face once or twice a day with a mild soap and warm water.

·      Don't scrub your face hard with a washcloth. Try cleansing your face as gently as you can. Remove all of your make up before cleaning your face.

·      If you use hair sprays or gels, Try to keep away from your face,  hair sprays or gels.as they can also clog pores.

·      For those who have long hair that touches your face,wash it frequently enough to keep oil away.

All these precautions above are to avoid the obstruction of the pores which favors acne.

Ø The cosmetic industry has been increasingly targeting young girls over the last decade, with a range of cutesy products adapted to their skin.

·         However, If you wear makeup or sunscreen, make sure it's labeled "oil free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic." meaning it won't clog your pores and contribute to acne.

·      Many lotions and creams containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are available to help prevent but also clear up acne. You can experiment with these to see which helps. Be sure to follow closely the instructions .

Ø One main reason for young girls to be interested in those cosmetics at an early age is implicit or explicite promise of increased attractiveness.

Ø Now when ever you look in the mirror and see a pimple, don't touch it, squeeze it, or pick at it .You will surely be tempted to, but when you play around with pimples, you can cause  more inflammation by poking at them or opening them up. Beside,the oil from your hands can't help!

N.B : More important,  picking at pimples can leave tiny, permanent scars  on your face.

Anti wrinkle cream

According to the Mintel Company, the market of the facial skin care for the 5 biggest European markets (France, Italia, Germany, United Kingdom and Spain) represented 6.1 billion euro in 2009 and the French market represented more than 36% of this market with an amount of 2.2 billion euro of sales.

Nowadays, the principal preoccupation of women concerning their appearance is to fight against the ageing so to fight against wrinkles. The anti wrinkle cream represents an important part of the market because we can notice that in France more than 60% of women use it and with 70 different brands which produce different creams women have the choice!

Why do we have wrinkles? Because the ageing of the skin is genetic and inevitable, but the genetic is not the only factor: the tobacco, the sun, the wind, the temperature are accelerators of skin ageing.

Do these creams are efficient or is it pure marketing?Most of cosmetics brands tell us that is important to use anti wrinkle creams from the age of 25-30 years old. But is it an obligation to use these creams or can it be delayed?

Key actions to anticipate wrinkles:

-          Remove our make up, hydrate our skin, protect it from the sun and avoid smoking!

-          Then, from the age of 30, we can anticipate wrinkles with exfoliating cares and by nourishing our skin every day.

-          It is only from the age of 40 that you can use anti wrinkle creams if you really want to have results and if you really want to minimize the signs of ageing!

So don’t worry girls you still have time to fight against the ageing!
