If you’ve come into your teen’s room lately and found them obsessing over their skin in front of the mirror, you may be tempted to look at the situation as just one more drama-filled teen moment. However, teens may actually be tempted to hide serious skin health issues out of embarrassment, so it’s important that as a parent you keep an eye on changes in teens’ skin health. Let’s dive into the most common teen skin conditions, and some treatment options.

By far the most common teens skin condition, Acne is a highly treatable skin condition that can be managed well in partnership with your dermatologist. Acne occurs when the pores in the skin become clogged. During the pubescent years, larger amounts of sebum, the oil that keeps skin moisturized, is produced. This production causes pores to clog, trapping numerous dead skin cells that stick together within the pores. This creates pimples. Anyone can develop pimples, especially during the teen years when the high production of sebum oil is common. The result is redness, swelling, and inflammation that goes deep into the skin, causing acne cysts and nodules.

Creating a consistent skincare routine will do the trick in stabilizing your teen’s overly stressed skin. The key to the results you want is persistence and quality products. That’s why our teen line, Fresh Start is a simple complete system that will make your teen’s routine down to a t. 

After Acne, the second most common skin condition is Eczema. 

Eczema is actually extremely common, especially in melanin-rich skin. It simply means rashes, itching, swelling, and irritation of the skin. It may also be referred to as dermatitis. It most commonly occurs on the face, inside the elbows and knees, and on the hands or feet. Even though the condition is usually very itchy, scratching can spread the condition and lead to more inflammation, so it should be avoided as much as possible. There’s no one cause of eczema and it may be influenced by both genetics and environment. Teens with eczema and atopic dermatitis can experience shame, thinking that they may spread their skin condition to others, so it’s important for them to understand their condition is not contagious. Eczema is actually most common in infants and children, and it can often improve with age and even go away. Teens and adults of all ages may also struggle with eczema, and they are at greater risk if they experienced the condition as children.

Because eczema is worsened by irritation, using simple ingredient products like Fresh Start collection is best. YELLE’s plant-based skincare system is will sooth even the most sensitive skin with it’s quality ingredient list. 

Created with aloe, and vitamin E, Fresh Start collection has exactly what’s needed to calm the skin and nourish it back to a healthy state. 

The third most common skin condition is SunBurn. 

We know, most people think people of color don’t experience sunburn … but we do and it’s pretty painful to endure.

Sunburn is a burn that occurs due to overexposure to sunlight. Any patient can experience a sunburn, but teens may be at higher risk if they participate in outdoor athletic events and fail to apply sunscreen. Daily application of sunblock can help reduce the risk for and severity of sunburn in people of all ages. Since sunburn is one of the leading causes of many skin conditions, including cancers, protecting skin from sun damage at all ages is important.

Teens often feel embarrassed, and they won’t say anything about their skin problems. Make sure you’re paying attention and encourage teens to get help with these conditions when they need it. 

How do you prep your skin for Fall? With these 3 steps of course. If you’re not careful, with the chilly weather comes chapped lips, dry and itchy skin, and a dull complexion. Thankfully, with some natural products, TLC, and these three steps, you can stay glowing all season long.

Exfoliate 2 - 3x per week

With the drier weather and inevitably drier skin, you have to stay on top of the buildup of dead skin. Too much dead skin cells is a pore-clogging catastrophe! Exfoliation will take care of that for sure. That said, you don’t want to exfoliate too much. Too much exfoliation and your skin will be as dry as a piece of toast!

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

No matter the time of year, hydration is key. If you don’t know the rule by now, they say to determine the amount of water you should be drinking in a day, you take your body weight in pounds, and divide it in half. That number in ounces is the amount you should be drinking! Better hydration is the key to glowing skin all year round!

When the air gets extra dry, especially in late fall-early winter, we definitely recommend having a humidifier at home. It’s a game changer when it comes to staying healthy and hydrated!

Add a serum to your skincare routine.

Trust me, you need as much moisture as possible around this time of year. Adding Yelle’s Awakening Serum will indeed add on the much needed moisture that your skin will lack as the temperatures drop. 

There you have it, sis! The top three things you should do to prep your skin for fall. Did you learn something new today? Or maybe you have some tips and tricks of your own? Are you still questioning where to start with your skin care journey? Then you need to head over to our sight to take our Skin Quiz, now! 

Friend, we’re all sad to see summer go … is it us or is this year going by way too fast?! Maybe it’s because all last summer we were cooped up in the house unsure of what tomorrow may bring, and this year we made up for it! 

Even though summer is saying see-you-later … you don’t have to look like you aren’t getting much sun. Thanks to Yelle Skincare’s Awakening Collection, you can give your face the rejuvenation it needs to look like you’ve been flawlessly absorbing much needed Vitamin D, and here’s how.

While we have our Complete System that targets every area you may wish to address for your skin, from cleansing to exfoliating, and moisturizing to treating … there’s still much more you can do with our products to ensure you have a nice summertime glow, even after summer ends. Everyone will wonder what exotic island you skipped off to, to retrieve that glow, honey!

Here’s all you need to do: 

Wash your face with warm to open your pores for cleaning.

As simple as this sounds, you’d be surprised at how many people don’t do this extremely important step. Take the time to let your water warm up before running to wash your face. Then wet your face with warm water, and gently rub our Awakening Milk and Honey Cleanser into your skin and neck in a circular motion for 60 seconds. Afterwards gently rinse the Awakening Milk and Honey Cleanser off of your skin with warm water. 

Warm water is essential because not only does it remove germs and bacteria from your skin, it also opens your pores, ensuring the product ingredients penetrate and absorb into your skin.

Make sure you are removing dead skin cells from your face and neck. 

While your skin is already warm, you now want to remove dead skin cells from your face and neck with our Awakening Milk and Honey Toner. This gentle daily exfoliant is everything you will need to cleanse your skin from buildup and old skin cells, bringing on a bright new layer of skin. Using a toner during warm summer months is exactly how you eliminate acne-prone, dull skin and welcome moisturized balanced healthy skin. 

Store your serum in a cool space.

Storing your serums in a cool place is a game changer for your summer glow. After you have washed your face with warm water, you must seal it with the healthy ingredients needed to treat the skin, which is your serum. Simply store your serum in a cool place like your refrigerator, and apply it to your skin cold. This not only locks in antioxidants and vitamins into your skin, the cold temperature also closes your pores ensuring that no filth enters your pores. Did I mention that it is also very soothing and therapeutic? You will feel like you’ve escaped to a spa-day in your own bathroom. 

Yelle Skincare offers 3 serums, for normal-combination, oily, and dry skin. Our treatment serums are one of our most important products that takes your skincare routine from basic to next level!

Protect your skin after treating it.

After you’ve done the work to get your skin to a flawless place, you want to ensure that you are protecting it. This can be done by using simple methods like, avoid going in direct sunlight for at least 30 minutes after you’ve done your skincare routine.

Stay hydrated to make sure that your skin cells are not drying out in the sun, because who wants a dull lifeless face after you’ve worked so hard on your skincare routine?

Become a shade queen … literally! Avoid standing in direct sunlight, especially in the middle of the day when the sun is the highest. Instead find yourself a nice shady spot that you can enjoy controlled sunlight and the Vitamin D it brings.

So you see, you can still achieve a healthy summer glow even if summer is ending. Using the Yelle Skincare Complete System offers you everything you need to get the glow!

Acne is defined as skin breakouts that occur when the pores become clogged with dead skin cells or bacteria. Blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, and pustules are the result of these clogged pores. 

Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. The American Academy of Dermatology estimates that acne affects 50 million people each year. 

While acne rates have risen, so has the rate of dairy and processed food consumption in the America. Acne has many causes, and every person’s skin is different. But there’s significant evidence to support the idea that dairy can irritate or cause acne for some people, especially the fellas. Statistics show that men consume on average 32% more dairy than women. This could be contributing acne induced breakouts. 

Dairy cows are treated with artificial hormones that affect their milk supply. Those hormones may throw your hormones off balance when you consume milk products. This could trigger acne. Another theory is that the growth hormones already in milk naturally aggravate acne no matter what. 

A third theory is that milk products, when combined with the high levels of refined foods and processed sugars in the our diet, disrupt insulin levels and make skin more prone to acne.

So how do you combat this problem with a solution? Fellas, it’s simple, if you are experiencing regular breakouts and cannot figure out what is causing them, look into your diet first. Slowly eliminate ingredients until you notice a difference in your health.

Additionally, put a consistent skincare regimen in place to help your skin find a solution that soothes. YELLE’s Brave Collection is a perfect every-day skincare system that puts the needs of men’s skin health as priority. Powerpact with products that work together as a system, this collection addresses every single need you may have for your skin troubles. 

In this complete Brave Essential System you will receive: a Milk and Honey cleanser,  a No More Grit Scrub, an Aftershave, and a Daily Moisturizer. Using this essential 4 piece system consistently will improve your skin and help you fight against acne breakouts that may be caused by a diet that includes dairy. 

Are you a dairy consumer? Or have you made the switch to dairy-free products? No matter what your preference is, there’s always an opportunity to find a lifestyle that suits you best. 

Be sure to tage us in your #YELLESkinCare Brave Collection packages when they arrive, we’d love to see our fellas using our products! 

Now that school is back in session, we are absolutely sure there will be a ton of late nights, or heck even sleepless nights. Between staying up late to study, or hitting the streets to party … we’ve all been there! 

But what you don’t want is to wake up looking like you’ve had a rough night! Let us help you help yourself, friend. We’ve got the answer to all of your skin problems … starting with tired eyes!

You see, the skin around the eyes begins to lose elasticity and breaks down. Air pollution, sleep deprivation and poor nutrition are all additional factors that contribute to changes in the eye area. As a result of these intrinsic and extrinsic factors wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles begin appearing in the area surrounding the eyes. If you are interested in improving the skin around your eyes, and want to counteract the signs of aging, keep reading on how to have eyes that are more glowing and radiant.

Do I really need to use an eye cream?

The YELLE beauty team of experts says YES to eye cream. Moisturizers are not anti-aging treatments and some anti-aging treatments are not suitable for the area surrounding the eye. If you are interested in improving the appearance of your eyes you need to use a product specifically formulated for the area. While some experts weigh in differently on the matter we know for a fact the area surrounding the eyes is more prone to the visible signs of aging. Targeting this area we believe with specialized preventative care is vital to enhancing the radiance of an individual’s eyes.

Use an eye cream with ingredients that work

To repair the area surrounding the eye it is important to use an eye cream with ingredients that work. Collagen stimulating ingredients, peptides, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and even retinol are all ingredients that stimulate the area surrounding the eye area and promote change. Our A DREAM Brightening Eye Cream utilizes high strength and highly effective peptides that attack fine lines and wrinkles, promotes collagen synthesis, and brightens the eye area.

Beyond Eye Creams

Blepharoplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons to correct imperfections around the eyes. The procedure involves removing excess skin, muscle and fat and is usually performed as an in and out procedure though patients typically miss up to five days from work. Restylane and Juvederm cosmetic fillers can also be used to treat under eye bags and camouflage darkness to reduce the appearance of mild puffiness. A good quality eye cream is usually recommended afterwards to encourage healing.

Try Microcurrent

Microcurrent stimulates muscles and sends gentle waves through the skin to tone and lift the areas where it is applied. Many handheld microcurrent devices for at home use are on the market today and allow individuals to experience advanced results. Most at home treatments last for 3-5 minutes are virtually pain free and enhance the benefits of using a good eye cream.

When it comes to addressing the eye area, prevention is everything. Gently apply our A DREAM Eye Cream with your ring finger and use daily for best results.
