Just before Christmas my husbands brother and his two sons came to our house (from Chicago) for a visit. They were the first of three rounds of house guests that we had over the holidays.
While they were here visiting I noticed that my nephew suffers from really bad acne … maybe it’s because he’s a hockey player and gets so sweaty. I think he plays just about every day and in fact most of their visits to Canada, especially in the summer, revolve around hockey and hockey camps.
I decided that I’d try to do a little research on acne treatments for him … try to find some of the best acne treatments however I’m unsure how to broach the subject with him.
I mean, I want to help him out. I know the teen years are hard enough without having terrible acne, but it must be bad when you have terrible acne!
Any ideas as to how I can bring up this subject with my teenage nephew – especially if I find something that might really help him out?
This indeed is a big problem for teenagers, I know! I trust that it’s best to start discussing by sharing your own experience and then recommend something. It’s always good to know that you’re not the only one with such a problem.
