For dry skin, it is recommended to use a gentle cleanser and if you have acne-prone skin, use an oil-free or salicylic acid cleanser.
Teenage skin care is critical. It has to be done with extra care because the skin is super sensitive at this age. With the beauty industry rolling out numerous products for different purposes, it is normal for young girls to be affected by it. However, you don’t need different kinds of serum mixes and face creams to get a stunning look.
During the teenage years, the skin often develops acne and begins to secrete oil. That’s why it’s essential to have a simple skincare routine that requires minimal products. The main goal is to have healthy skin, and if you start using several products at once, your skin may not react well to them and may cause various other problems. Therefore, it is advised to start slowly and steadily.
Here are some great and effective skin care tips for teens to follow.
- Cleaning
Start by regularly cleansing your skin, taking into account the skin type. For dry skin, it is recommended to use a gentle cleanser and if you have acne-prone skin, use an oil-free or salicylic acid cleanser. - Use Toner
Teenagers often struggle with excessive sebum production due to the enlarged pores of their skin. To reduce this, toning is very crucial. It shrinks the pores and regulates sebum production. It also helps maintain the skin’s pH balance and protects against contaminants and impurities. Use a toner twice a day for effective results. - Moisten
Apply moisturizer all over, from your toes to your face. It keeps the skin hydrated and gives it a natural glow. When dry skin starts to flake, it looks dull and pimples appear. However, a moisturizer will protect your skin from this. If you have oily skin, apply it gently and if you have dry skin, use it twice a day. - Apply sunscreen
People often leave sunscreen out of their skincare routines, especially teens, because it doesn’t feel that important. But in reality, it is one of the essential products you need. Therefore, always wear sunscreen when you step outside. It protects your skin from sunburn, premature aging and excessive dehydration. Also use sunscreen with at least 7 percent zinc oxide and SPF 30 or higher. - lip balm
Lip balm is equally essential in nourishing your lips. Your lips need extra care and regular application of lip balm is necessary, especially in the morning and evening, to keep them well hydrated.
These skincare steps are crucial for healthy and hydrated skin. Follow a daily skin care routine regularly, no matter how tired or exhausted you are.
