Take Control, Teens!

For all those teens out there struggling with acne-- we know how you feel! We at Enza understand how aggravating acne can be and that's why we're here to help you take back control of your skin. Dr. Joseph Rucker, founder of Enza Essentials shares some of his secrets for clear, glowing, and youthful skin:

• Try double cleansing- Wash your face once to clean off surface pollutants, then cleanse again to rid toxins from your skin.
• Ease up on the makeup- Instead of hiding under a heavy foundation that can suffocate your skin, try covering blemishes with a concealer which will allow your skin to breath.
• Balance your diet- Steer clear of white foods such as dairy, white bread, pasta, and rice which only aggravate acne. Instead, try incorporating colorful fruits and veggies into your diet. 
• Use lukewarm water- avoid water that is too hot or too cold. Because your skin is very sensitive, extreme temperatures can irritate and even worse, break capillaries. 
• Stay out of the tanning bed- Besides the risk of cancer, you are setting yourself up for heavy wrinkles and ages spots; try a self tanner instead.

Remember, developing good skin habits early in life is vital to maintaining your youthful-looking skin. Now try some of these tips, teens, and you can keep control of your truly beautiful skin.
