What Causes Teen Acne and How Corrective Facials Can Help
Let’s be real—teen acne is tough. Between school stress, hormonal changes, and trying every over-the-counter product out there, it can feel like an uphill battle. But here’s the good news: acne isn’t just something you have to “wait out,” and professional skincare treatments like corrective facials can make a real difference.
💥 What Causes Teen Acne?
Teen acne is mostly driven by hormones. As the body goes through puberty, oil glands become more active and produce more sebum (oil). That extra oil, mixed with dead skin cells and bacteria, can clog pores—leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamed pimples.
But that’s not all. Other acne triggers include:
- Stress (hello, school + social pressure)
- Poor skincare habits (like skipping cleansing or using harsh products)
- Diet (excess sugar and dairy can contribute for some teens)
- Touching the face or picking at breakouts (which spreads bacteria)
💆🏽♀️ How Corrective Facials Can Help
Corrective facials are more than just a relaxing spa day—they’re treatment-based services designed to target and manage acne safely and effectively. At EstheGlow Spa, we customize every teen facial based on skin type, acne severity, and long-term goals.
Here’s how they help:
✅ Deep Cleansing
Professional extractions remove blackheads and clogged pores without the damage caused by picking at home.
✅ Exfoliation
We use gentle chemical or enzyme exfoliants to slough off dead skin and clear the way for healthy cell turnover.
✅ Anti-Bacterial Treatments
Ingredients like salicylic acid or LED light therapy can reduce inflammation and fight acne-causing bacteria.
✅ Education
We teach teens how to care for their skin at home—because clear skin isn’t just about what happens in the treatment room.
💡 Why Start Early?
The longer acne goes untreated, the more likely it is to leave scars or hyperpigmentation. Starting corrective facials early not only helps clear current breakouts but also prevents long-term skin damage and boosts confidence at a crucial age.
💬 Final Thoughts
Teen acne is common, but that doesn’t mean your teen has to struggle with it. A consistent skincare routine + regular corrective facials = a clear, healthy foundation that can last a lifetime.
