Acne poses a challenge for the teenagers. If it could be solved by strikes, demonstrations or protests, they would have resorted to these actions, without delay. But, this is a different type of challenge.
The combustible younger generation! Can they tolerate or accept any nuisance with their cheeks? How dare this acne land on your face, all over, suddenly, when they were least expected? You feel like catching each one of them, bury and hang them! The level of your frustration is too difficult to control!

But, here is a different type challenge for the teenager. He has to remain calm, and develop his own strategies to treat this individual problem. Because, more stress means more acne. You know, stress has been counted as one of the definite causes of acne.
Young man, take the attack of acne in the right spirit. It is the first protest of your body mechanism, against your style of handling it. Have you ever applied proper thought, how you eat, what you eat? Cold ice cream, hot coffee, junk food, oily stuff, chocolates after chocolates!

You are a young man or a young lady; you have strength; this is the age, when your body will have the maximum resistance power, in spite of the acne attack that you presently suffer. Instead of pounding the stock of over the counter medications and experimenting with them, switch over to the natural way of living.
You can continue to eat lavishly as much as you wish to eat. I am not advising you to fast. But do give lots of importance to fruits and fresh seasonal vegetables, which will be highly beneficial to you in the long run.
