YOUNG SKIN
WHAT IS YOUNG SKIN?
We define young skin as the skin of people between the ages of around 12 and 18. Young skin is characterized in particular by its even, resistant complexion and its ability to regenerate quickly.

HOW DO PIMPLES DEVELOP?
We've all been there: you have something planned and a huge pimple appears on your face just in time. That's great! But how does a pimple actually form? Excessive sebum production means that the sebum can no longer drain away properly and a blackhead appears. This mixture of dead skin cells and sebum clogs the pore and is a breeding ground for bacteria, which leads to inflammation. The area around the blocked pore swells, reddens and voilà, the pimple is there!
