Sue Scheff: Teenage Acne

Posted on June 11, 2009 by suescheff

As a Parent Advocate,  I am often asked to share information, Press Releases etc. to help promote wellness and concerns with today’s teens.  June is National Acne Awarness Month – take the time to learn more and how teenage acne can scar more then a child psychically.  Self-image is  a big part of being a teenager – as a parent, we need to educate ourselves to help our kids.

National Acne Awareness Month

According to a recent survey, more than half of teens (59%) said that they would be willing to stay off Facebook for a year if they could get rid of their acne forever! What’s more – 13% would actually pick one of their parents as a prom date to be zit-free for the rest of their lives!
 
June marks the first-ever National Acne Awareness Month – the perfect time to help teens take control of their acne. There are so many myths surrounding acne  – that people with acne don’t wash their faces and/or eat poorly. But the truth is, even the cleanest and healthiest of us can be prone to getting acne! In fact, acne is a medical condition that can be treated, and has little to do with diet or cleanliness habits.
The AARS, with support from Galderma Laboratories, has developed a special announcement to educate teens on how to take control of their acne: to inform everyone on ways to take action when acne takes a hold of their lives: http://www.westglen.com/online/17612.html

Help to spread the word about National Acne Awareness Month.  The best defense is a well-informed offense!
