Why does the skin of teenage girls change?

The body undergoes a series of changes when it reaches adolescence and includes the following:

• structural changes

Skin regenerates frequently during childhood, yet as the teenage years begin, the rate of regeneration generally declines.

Teenager skin is firmer and more elastic than baby skin, and it retains more collagen.

But at puberty, production decreases collagenThis makes the skin more prone to sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles.

• hormonal changes

Many skin problems arise in response to hormonal changes in the body, and perhaps the most obvious change in your skin is an increase in oil or fat production.

This excess traps dirt and cosmetic residues inside the skin cells, which leads to clogged pores and acne breakouts.
