It doesn't matter much that it affects anywhere from 95% to 99% of them, when it happens to any one of them, you would think that they were the only kid who had ever had a zit.
Teenage boys hate acne just as much as teenage girls hate it. Boys just suffer through it but girls turn to cosmetics to try to hide it.
There is nothing wrong with a teenage girl or a young woman trying to make an acne outbreak appear less noticeable. It is a perfectly natural thing to do.
They use cosmetics anyway to enhance their appearances...make their lips redder or more full, give their cheeks a healthy glow and make their eyelashes appear longer so covering up a blemish is the next logical step.
The cosmetic industry knows that covering blemishes ranks right up there with rosy cheeks so they have developed products designed specifically for covering up blemishes. These products are called concealers. They come in many forms.
Some of them are in tubes like lipstick while some of them are in bottles like other liquid make up base products and some of them are in cake form like pressed face powder.
The one thing that all teenage girls and young women do need to remember when they use these products is that the products need to be thoroughly cleaned off before going to bed.
If left on the face, these products will contribute to clogging pores and intensify the acne outbreak.
The bottom line here is that using concealer products is just fine. If it makes you feel better about yourself, then go for it but before you go to bed, use your facial wash.
Clean your face completely, pat it dry with a clean towel and apply your acne fighting medications.
