Facial Skin Care Tips for Teens

As your daughter reaches puberty and becomes a teenager, caring for her facial skin becomes very important to her and can affect her self-esteem.

Today’s tweens (12) and young teens (13-15) wear makeup more and more. As a mom, it is important to reiterate that less is more and that having class is not garbage. Obviously, each parent has their own rules and some may not allow their teenage daughters to wear makeup while others do. We didn’t allow ours to wear it until she was 14, and even then, it was VERY light and had no mascara until she was 16! If you allow your daughter to wear makeup, it is important to teach her HOW to wear it and take care of her skin.

Teenagers love to share things, especially clothes and makeup. Make sure they learn not to share makeup and to always use clean applicators when applying it. Comply with the no double dipping rule as this will contaminate the product and could cause eye infections.

Teenagers’ skin can change dramatically as they progress further into puberty. Your skin becomes oilier and pimples begin to appear. While it is normal for adolescents to go through this phase, many find it embarrassing, lowering their self-esteem and causing them shyness.

Facial Skin Care Tips to Prevent Blackheads and Keep Your Teenage Daughter’s Skin Looking Great

It is never a good idea to pop pimples because they can cause deeper problems like infections and scars. Pimples will aggravate the skin more and will be more noticeable than if you left it alone.

Wash your face at least twice a day with a facial cleanser and warm water. Use circular motions with your fingertips and do not apply a lot of pressure. Avoid rubbing your face as it will damage and irritate the skin.

Always remove makeup before going to bed.

Avoid touching your face with your hands. Your nails can harbor a lot of germs and if you are pinching your face, you can spread bacteria.

Keep your hair clean and away from your face. Oils and dirt in your hair can clog your skin.

Protect your face from the sun. Use a moisturizer that also contains SPF. For some teens, the sun can make acne worse.

Be careful what you eat and drink. Junk food or certain foods and sodas can trigger pimples outbreaks. Drink more water as it removes bad things from your body.

If your teenager suffers from severe acne, it is best to seek the advice of a dermatologist.
