A member asked:

Why do kids have perfect skin?

Dr. Elizabeth Wallen answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Perfect skin: Kids have perfect skin because they haven't had years of sun damage yet, they don't smoke or drink alcohol, they generally have good nutrition, and their skin has not yet been affected by hormones such as testosterone that increases acne.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
