How will eating out occassionally affect teenagers?

Hi! My cuz has a bad habit ..he eats out everyday and he has pimples all over his face . HE looks terrible . Is this he reason for why he usually eats out? Please provide me some answer on how will it affect him!! Thanks so much!How will eating out occassionally affect teenagers?
YUCK!!!! Tell him only to eat out girls that take proper care of themselves. The girl being eaten out will ligthen up, so I say this would be a positive effect. Obviously as seen, he is gaining acne - could actually be an std - so it's negative for the kid who doesn't bother to have high standards when eating out....














Quick lesson on acne (to educate anyone that doesn’t know):





The skin is covered with tiny holes called pores. The pores have what are called ‘sebaceous glands,’ which make sebum (oil to moisten your hair and skin). If you’re lucky (unlike us), the glands produce the correct amount of sebum and no acne occurs. If you’re not lucky, the pores get clogged with excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria.





Whitehead – a pore that gets clogged, closes, and bulges out from the skin





Blackhead – a pore that gets clogged and stays open (top surface darkens)





Pimple – a pore with broken walls, leading to a buildup under the skin





Hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make sebum. Acne is caused by the glands being overactive. Acne is not caused by the greasy foods you eat, chocolate, soda, or any of those other fun stories we hear about (unless you’re smothering these products into your pores!!)





What I learned:





Do not scrub the affected areas. This can make it worse by irritating the skin.


Use your hands instead of a wash cloth.





If you do find a moisturizer to use (or even with sunscreen), be sure to use oil-free products.





If you have long hair keep it away from the affected areas and wash it regularly (limits the amount of oil).





When you are stressed, your pores may make more sebum, so yes avoid negative stress.





When finished (or during) exercising or excessive sweating (gotta love _ _ _ ), wash the affected areas.





Try not to touch these areas (I also put sanitizer on my hands before messing with the fun of acne, which leads me to my next point – DO NOT PICK, SQUEEZE, or POP your acne.





Two ingredients to look for in products used to destroy this monster: benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. The first one kills the bacteria that leads to acne and can reduce swelling. The latter causes skin to dry out and peel (which also helps rid you of acne). And again, we come to another point – DO NOT OVERUSE your acne products (follow directions exactly). If you use too much, your skin can become very red and very dry. Always, try a little before putting it all over yourself to check for any potential allergic reactions.





In researching acne, you may want to search for “acne vulgaris.”





Try a dermatologist – they can prescribe stronger medications than what you can get at the store.





Good luck!! Hope I helped a littleHow will eating out occassionally affect teenagers?
Yeah... so that above answer.... yeah.... haha, I'm not sure how that answer got into diet and fitness.





But, yes.... if you are eating too many fats, greases, and salts, that can contribute to acne. I know there are people who say that this is an old wive's tale.... but I know from personal experience, that it will add to your pimple-age.





Its not that he's eating out, it is what he is choosing to eat. If he consistently eats fries, burgers, and pizza, that may be part of the problem.





Also, if he is eating greasy food without washing his hands, odds are that he is accidentally spreading the grease onto his face through the course of the day. Get him to wash his hands as much as possible, and avoid touching his face.





A good home remedy for acne, if you haven't already tried it, it toothpaste. Put it on the problem areas as you sleep and it will clear up most things in about a week. And it smells good! Just watch, because it can dry out your skin.





However, sometimes people have skin infections and genetics that contribute to their acne.





If his skin is really bad, and it isn't clearing up no matter how much he washes or watches his diet, have him talk to his doctor. They can proscribe low dose antibiotics that will clear you up in bad cases. This may even be covered by insurance, since it could be treated as an infection. Don't quote me on that though.
OMg. that person who answered first is extremely disterbed -_______--





Ok i believe that eating out does not affect how many pimples you have.. it's a combination of genetics, skin type, how often you wash it, and your environment..





so the only way to clear it up, is just treat it using various methods.. try somethin with salicylic acid in it.. if it doesnt work at all.. (it doesnt work on me) try something with benzythonium chloride in it.. (I know avon has some.. walmart doesnt cary ANY)





It makes my face feel fresh and clean!





I also hear that proactive works really well too. havent tried it though.





Also i read that to get rid of the redness in pimples.. to put visine (the stuff for red eyes) in it.. and it helps get the redness out!








Good luck!
HAHA the person who answered first on here has an interesting mind..and got the wrong idea of the question..





Anyways...


Eating greasy things is bad, as someone already stated.


and YES proactiv does work. I've been using it for 1 year, and I rarely break out.
