Key Tools to Help Your Child Navigate Puberty Effectively

As children transition into puberty, encountering issues like body odor, sweat, acne, and cramps becomes common. These changes are primarily due to hormones triggering increased oil production in the skin. The oil, when mixed with sweat, makeup, or other residues on the skin, can lead to the formation of pimples. To address this, it is recommended that teenagers establish a nightly routine of washing their face with a mild cleanser, advised by pediatric dermatologist Nicole Kittler from UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals. Kittler emphasizes the importance of cleansing to remove daily buildup and grime from the skin.
