As your child enters the tween years, their body goes through many changes, including changes to their skin. It's important to establish a skincare routine early on to promote healthy and happy skin. In this blog post, we will explore some essential tips for caring for tween skin.
One of the most important steps in any skincare routine is cleansing. Encourage your tween to wash their face twice a day with a gentle face wash specifically formulated to hydrate their skin, like our Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Cleansing Cream - gentle, fragrance free and suitable to sensitive skin.
Moisturizing is crucial for maintaining hydrated and balanced skin. Help your tween find a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer that won't clog their pores. Our Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Hybrid Gel Cream, applied after the cleanser will keep their skin soft and supple.
Sun protection is essential at any age. Teach your tween the importance of applying sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Encourage them to reapply every two hours, especially when spending time outdoors.
While exfoliation is beneficial for removing dead skin cells, it's important to avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate the skin. Instead, opt for gentle exfoliating products or a soft washcloth to promote a healthy glow without causing damage. Our Teen Fix Breakout Pads are a great gentle exfoliating alternative, formulated with salicylic acid to target breakouts.
Good skincare goes beyond products. Encourage your tween to adopt healthy habits that promote overall skin health. This includes drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and getting enough sleep.
Some tweens may have sensitive skin that is prone to allergies. Be mindful of potential allergens in skincare products, such as fragrances and certain ingredients. If your child experiences any adverse reactions, consult a dermatologist for guidance.
Caring for tween skin is all about establishing good habits and using gentle, effective products. By following these tips, you can help your child achieve and maintain healthy and happy skin throughout their tween years and beyond.
