Affecting over 80% of adolescents, acne is a widespread condition with substantial negative physical and emotional effects, and significant societal cost. Cleansing the acne patient involves several considerations, including matching skin type to the right type of cleanser, optimal times and methods of cleansing, treating parts of the body other than the face, and patient perceptions of the cause and treatment of acne. Moisturizing prevents and alleviates skin irritation, soothing the skin by slowing the evaporation of water. Many liquid face cleansers also moisturize, which may be all that is needed for a patient with oily skin. Protection from sun and environmental damage is important for all patients. While sunscreens are often irritants, the best options for young, oily, acne-prone skin tend to have a water or light liquid base. Moisturizing sunscreens are appropriate for patients with dry, sun-damaged skin, as well as those who wear makeup, have other skin diseases, or are easily irritated by products. Overall, treating acne patients should include education in patient-friendly terms and promoting healthy daily skin care practices, including cleansing and protection against environmental damage.
痤疮影响着超过 80%的青少年，是一种广泛存在的疾病，对患者的身体和心理都会产生严重的负面影响，也会给社会带来巨大的经济负担。痤疮患者的清洁护理涉及多个方面的考虑，包括根据皮肤类型选择合适的洁面产品、选择最佳的清洁时间和方法、对面部以外的身体部位进行清洁护理，以及患者对痤疮病因和治疗方法的认知。保湿可以预防和缓解皮肤刺激，通过减缓水分蒸发来舒缓皮肤。许多液态洁面产品也具有保湿功能，这可能是油性皮肤患者所需要的全部。所有患者都需要防晒和防止环境损伤。虽然防晒霜通常会引起刺激，但对于年轻、油性、易长痤疮的皮肤，最好选择水基或轻薄的液体防晒霜。对于皮肤干燥、受损、化妆、患有其他皮肤疾病或容易被产品刺激的患者，保湿防晒霜是更合适的选择。总的来说，治疗痤疮患者应该包括以通俗易懂的方式进行教育，并促进健康的日常皮肤护理习惯，包括清洁和防止环境损伤。
