There are seasons in our lives that we all must go through. Like adolescence and pregnancy (ahem! ahem! ...that's for those of us women who want to have babies).

These are not very ordinary times of our lives because during these seasons, there's a surge of hormones that run through our bodies, whether you're a guy or a girl, that cause a massive wave of change both in the mind and body.

They have noticeable effects on the person - mood swings, weight, height, physical features (beards and breasts), voice among others.

One of the most popular ones that affect a good number of teens is definitely the occurrence of acne. It tends to have an effect on self esteem because it's something that's visible. A beautiful girl or a handsome guy will begin to feel depressed because their look has changed.

There's some great news folks. It's only seasonal and it's very manageable.

Oh, and you ought to beware of the things that you could be doing to make it worse for your skin. Things like staying out in the sun too long without moisturizing your skin or trying to clear the acne by violently scrubbing your skin. No bueno! (Hint: when you wash your face, use a clean soft cloth. Don't scrub your skin.)

A great way to manage acne is by using Mentholatum Acnes. It is one of the products that works best for your skin and it has a great reputation world over!

Of course, a visit to the dermatologist would be good to help you manage it as well.
