PUBERTY RELATED CHALLENGES
Puberty brings about significant hormonal changes that often result in various skin and hair issues. The surge in hormones like estrogen and testosterone can lead to:
- Acne: increased oil production clogs pores, causing breakouts;
- Oily skin: excessive sebum lead to a shiny, greasy complexion, particularly in the T-zone;
- Greasy hair: hormonal changes also affect the scalp, making hair oilier and more prone to looking unclear shortly after washing;
encouraged men to adopt not only advanced skin care regimens, but also make-up routines.
These challenges can be overwhelming for teens, affecting their self-esteem and confidence, particularly in a world where appearance is often scrutinized, especially on social media platforms.
