STRONG Skincare Habits Every Teen Should Know

There’s no doubt that discovering the best skin-care routine is quite the undertaking—whether you’re a long-time enthusiast or novice. Even those with years of experience will share that the journey to clear and glowing skin was not without a bit of trial and error.  Throw in all the influencers promoting endless amounts of products on social media and it can all be a bit overwhelming!  The key is identifying your skins key concerns and going from there.  Before heading off to Sephora be sure to do your research on the brand and products that might be best to keep your skin feeling fresh and healthy.

Below are some proven tips to help you on your skincare journey.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

Encourage your girl to keep her skincare routine simple and consistent. A good routine can backfire when there are too many steps.

WEAR SUNSCREEN, EVEN IN WINTER

A good habit for life is to protect skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Rain, snow or shine, SUNSCREEN IS A MUST. Tinted moisturizers with SPF are a great option!

TACKLE ACNE, HEAD ON

If you start to have breakouts, start with one acne product at a time. If you don’t see improvement after 4-6 weeks, add a second acne product.

DON'T SLEEP IN MAKEUP

Make sure to remove makeup every night. If you’re too tired to wash your face, a makeup remover towelette works. Just make sure it is non pore clogging

SEE A DERMATOLIGT

Studies show that teens do better when they take ownership of their skincare/acne and have routine appointments with their dermatologist.
