Essential skincare for teenagers
"How you treat your skin now will likely play a role in how your skin looks and feels in the future."
As a teenager, you have plenty to deal with without having to add researching the best skincare and acne treatment for teens to your to-do list. How you treat your skin now will likely play a role in how your skin looks and feels in the future.
Here are the best essential skincare tips for teenagers:
Wash Your Face
That’s the first thing to do when you wake up in the morning. Because you need to clear your skin of the oil and sweat that have accumulated on your skin all through the night.
Do not use soap; use a mild cleanser. Do not rub aggressively as it can irritate the skin and increase oil secretion.
Moisturize
Yes. Even the most problematic skin needs to be moisturized.
Pick a light skin cream that’s suitable for your skin and addresses your skin issues (like acne or spots).
You can use matte finish moisturizers that are easily available on the market. If you are going out, you can use a tinted moisturizer.
Stay Away From Scrubs
Even the pore strippers. Wondering how on earth you are going to get rid of the blackheads?
The best way to get rid of them is to follow a cleansing routine religiously.
Use a product that contains 2% salicylic acid. You can talk to a dermatologist for a recommendation.
In case you are under 16, always do this under adult supervision.
Treat Acne
While acne can occur at any age, teens are more likely to get acne breakouts due to hormonal changes.
Use sulfur cleansers and masks to dry out your skin. They tend to be gentler on the skin than salicylic acid.
Benzoyl peroxide face washes, creams, foams, and gels are antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory. They are very helpful in acne treatment.
Protection from Sun Damage
You’re not too young to start a daily sun protection routine.
After moisturizing, reach for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher and apply as directed.
Toss the bottle in your backpack so you can reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.
Use a Face Mask or Face pack
Face masks have several benefits. They not only remove dirt, impurities, and toxins from your skin surface but also keep it moisturized.
Though you can easily buy readymade face masks and packs from the market, it is better to stick to natural ingredients.
Spread the mask on your face and wait until it’s dry and then wipe it clean.
