The careful combination of hygiene and nutrition can help to partially prevent the annoying pimples and blackheads that occur with acne. As the dermatologist Andrea Silva Villalobos explained in the interview that can be visited on this website, the skin disease that approximately 80% of the adolescents suffer, can accompany women all the way to adulthood.

The professional emphasises that especially greasy skin is prone to acne though it doesn't mean that dry skin is free from pimples. The most important thing to do in order to fight acne is to keep a daily cleaning program even if that means to simply use water and soap.

The specialist answered different questions regarding the use of make up, the first shaving, cellulite and other problems that usually occur at the beginning of puberty.

Pimples are a sign of acne that can be more or less bad. It is in fact an illness that most of the young people suffer when they enter puberty. It can manifest itself through open or closed blackheads.

Approximately 80 or 85% of the adolescents are marked by acne during the years of puberty. Generally during that time it is more likely to be seen with boys. Entering the adulthood the case is the other way around and women are the ones who have to face it as it is often due to their hormonal alterations.

Generally it is very hard to prevent the appearance of acne. Though if blackheads and gravel occur it is necessary to open or remove them so they don't turn into pimples. In order to counteract a bad skin, it is important to use special cleaning products from the very beginning of puberty and before pimples start to show.

It is not scientifically proved that nutrition is linked to acne. Thus there is no certain diet to follow except to reduce the fat component to a minimum.

Basically a lot of things play a part regarding acne and often the hormonal balance is one of the most important and deciding factors. For this reason acne is usually seen at the beginning of puberty.

Indeed, the greasy type of skin is the one that is mostly affected by acne. But this doesn't mean that other types of skin are free from getting it, it just means that these types have normally less problems.

Since a lot of make ups contain oily components it is harmful for those adolescents that already suffer a greasy skin or symptoms of acne. The oil can cause an obstruction of the pores that will again worsen the skin.

The crucial factor is to maintain a daily cleaning program for your face and neck. There are also different types of make up considering the different types of skin and each adolescent should try to find the one that he/she tolerates best. If a girl is under medical treatment because of her skin, she shouldn't use make up daily but only occasionally.

Wrinkles depend on a lot of factors and some of them have to do with genetics. There are races that are especially prone to wrinkles. This is called intrinsic aging. The opposite is called extrinsic and depends on the environment. It is said that make up can cause a few wrinkles if it is not removed or washed off the face thoroughly. But normally make up doesn't cause wrinkles.

Make up that is more expensive is produced in firms that have international reputation and it therefore guarantees a higher quality. These products you can trust and use with reliability.
But it doesn't mean that cheaper make up is generally bad, there are always such and such.

That depends on the type of skin you want to use it for. On the one hand there is make up for the dry type of skin that are oil based and on the other hand there is make up for the more greasy type of skin that is oil free.

There are different cleaning products for each type of skin. The face should be cleaned daily and you can simply use soap and water.

Yes, the lips need special care because they are easily irritated and inflamed. They can suffer serious diseases or even tumours. To avoid such things to happen it is very important to keep them moist and protect them from the sun.

Generally shaving should only be done for aesthetical reasons. Normally you can start shaving when you are entering adolescence.

Basically depilatory wax is recommendable but it depends on your personal likes and dislikes. There are various methods and you should use the one that your skin tolerates best.

That is difficult to say because there are types of skin that react irritated no matter what method of shaving is used. Here you have to counteract the same way as you do with acne and try to use moisturizing products before irritation shows.

Nutrition is important for everything that has to do with health. A well balanced nutrition that is rich in fruits and vegetables will reflect positively on hair and skin.

Principally the vitamins C and E. There are a lot of lotions that contain them.

Yes, there is and it is very important that you eat well and healthy, drink a lot of water, don't smoke and do regular exercise if you don't want to get it.
