Let's Get ONE Thing CLEAR... Your SKIN.

Back-to-School Skin Starts Here

Back-to-school shopping usually means new backpacks, fresh notebooks, and the perfect first-day outfit, but what about your skin?

For many teens, acne can be one of the biggest confidence challenges heading into a new school year. The good news? Acne is one of the most common skin conditions we treat, and with the right routine and expert guidance, clearer skin is absolutely achievable.

At Cleaver Dermatology & Aesthetics, our providers understand that every teen's skin is different. That's why our treatment plans are personalized, not based on what's trending on social media.

Christine Ashton, FNP-C shares:

"One of the biggest mistakes I see is teens trying every product they see online. More products don't equal better results. A simple, consistent skincare routine is often much more effective than a cabinet full of harsh products."

Top Teen Acne Tips from Our Providers

✔ Wash your face twice a day. Morning and night with a gentle cleanser is enough. Scrubbing harder won't make acne disappear, it can actually make it worse.

✔ Don't pick or pop pimples. We know it's tempting, but picking increases inflammation and can lead to permanent acne scars.

✔ Moisturizer is your friend. Even oily skin needs hydration. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin balanced.

✔ Wear sunscreen every day. UV exposure can worsen acne marks and discoloration. Daily SPF helps protect your skin while it heals.

✔ Be patient. Most acne treatments take 6-8 weeks to show improvement. Stick with your routine and trust the process.

✔ When in doubt, ask a dermatology professional. Early treatment can prevent long-term scarring and help teens feel more confident.

Start the School Year with Confidence

A professional Teen Facial is a great way to kick off a healthy skincare routine before school begins. Designed specifically for teenage skin, our treatment helps deep-clean pores, reduce congestion, calm inflammation, and educate teens on proper skincare habits they can continue at home.

Whether your teen is just beginning to experience breakouts or has been struggling with acne for years, our experienced dermatology and aesthetic team can recommend the best treatment plan for healthier, clearer skin.

Matthew Myers, PA-C adds:

"Acne doesn't clear overnight. The key is consistency and using products that are right for your skin type. If over-the-counter products aren't helping after several weeks, it's time to let us help before acne leads to unnecessary scarring."
