Your Personalized Overview

Your skin profile is a combination of dryness, acne, and sensitivity. Below are some of the keys to your skin:

Fair Skin - naturally more sensitive than other types, so controlling inflammation and being gentle are key. Avoid mechanical exfoliators, always use bare hands.

Redness - your acne naturally looks redder than in darker skin tones, but you won't have to worry too much about dark marks after acne is gone. You want products that are anti-inflammatory over anything else.

Simplistic Routine - the less products you use, the better. Your skin is sensitive, especially with acne, and too many products can aggravate the skin causing more breakouts. Avoid foaming and soap based cleansers that strip the skin of natural oils.

Patience - 85% of your peers at your age will experience acne at some point. Your hormones are generally still in flux which can lead to blemishes, but changing various lifestyle and dietary habits can help stabilize these shifts.

Things That May Affect Your Skin

Genetics

Given that you have a history of acne in your family, there is a strong probability your blemishes have a genetic link. Take a look at what their skin responds to, and chances are your skin will respond as well. Although there is nothing you can do about genetics, a good skincare routine, and consistent facials can keep most blemishes at bay.

Environment

Your living environment may be a cause of your acne. Pollutants, and the higher stress levels associated with your living environment can result in clogged pores and higher levels of inflammation. Although you may not be able to control the external, you can still be diligent about protecting your skin from the elements with a lightweight moisturizer.

Stress

Your higher levels of stress may be making your acne worse. Stress triggers inflammatory responses in the body, and also may cause your skin to produce more sebum, clogging pores. Daily exercise, mediation, and practicing relaxation techniques can help calm flare ups triggered by stress.
