There are tons of skincare brands and products out there we can easily get lost! Many people wonder what the best skincare products for teenage girls are.
Calypso Cavallo tells you everything you need to know!
What the best skincare products for teenage girls are?
Being a teenage girl is not easy. Raging hormones often cause greasy skin and breakout, while all their role models have perfect (photoshopped) skin! It can be rough for their mental health, and skincare often helps to feel more confident. So, what are the best skincare products for teenage girls?
First, teenage girls need to identify their skin type. Both boys and girls often suffer from acne due to hormonal changes. The best skin care products contain active ingredients such as salicylic acid and tea tree. Those ingredients will help to unclog pores and prevent breakouts.
Many teenage girls worsen their skin condition by drying out their skin with harsh products, such as rubbing alcohol, thinking the dryer their skin is, the less breakout they will have. It is actually the opposite. Drying acne-prone skin irritates it and triggers more breakouts. The skin care products for teenage girls must be mild to avoid irritations and breakouts.
UV light often worsens breakout and oil excess and causes skin cancer, and teenage girls should include SPF in their skincare routine.
When shopping for skincare products, teen girls must ensure they do not contain nasty ingredients, as some skincare ingredients are suspected of causing cancer.
Teens often use cheap skincare products because they have a tight budget. Even if the most expensive skincare products are not always the best, cheap skincare does not contain enough active ingredients to be effective.
A good skincare routine for teen girls!
Using good skin care products is excellent. Using them the right way is better. Here is the perfect skincare routine for teenage girls to properly take care of their skin and feel good and confident.
- Good morning, sleepy head!
Our teen girl just hopped out of bed, ready for a long day at school, with classes, sports practice, and hanging out with friends, but first, skincare!
Depending on her skin sensitivity, she will wash her face with a cleanser and water or just wipe it out with a toner before applying a moisturizer containing salicylic acid to help avoid breakout and an SPF to protect her skin from harmful UV light. Her makeup, if she uses any, will be lightweight and oil-free not to clog the pores!
- Wash your face… or not?
Washing her face more than twice daily (morning and evening) is unnecessary and can irritate the skin. The only exception is after a sweaty sports session. Sweat is like food for bacteria, so letting sweat on the face triggers breakouts.
- Healthy life for healthy skin!
It is not a skincare product, but having a healthy life is crucial to having radiant skin. Too many teen girls wonder why they do not have perfect skin when they eat plenty of sweet or greasy food and do not drink enough water.
Girl, better swap the chips for veggies and sip water throughout the day!
- Call it a night
The night is the most crucial moment for our teen girl’s skincare routine. Her first step is to remove her makeup with an oil-free makeup remover. It is essential to never sleep in makeup, regardless the skin type.
Then, she washes her face with a tea tree face cleanser to remove oil excess and makeup residues. Washing her face at night is non-negotiable because it prevents the bacteria from developing on her skin during the night and causes breakouts.
She applies her night moisturizer, it does not need to contain an SPF, but it can be more concentrated for a deeper action during the night. A serum is excellent for nighttime because they go deeper into the skin to deliver the active ingredients.
