At Tween Skincare, we believe that starting good skincare habits early is essential for a lifetime of healthy skin. Here are our recommended skincare habits that are easy for teens and tweens to incorporate into their daily routine.

1.       Establish a Routine
Consistency is Key: Encourage a simple, consistent skincare routine that fits their lifestyle. This includes cleansing, moisturising, and applying sunscreen daily. Keeping it simple makes it easier to stick with and ensures lasting results.

2.       Consistent Cleansing
Morning and Night: Encourage your child to cleanse their face twice a day with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser. This helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities that can clog pores and cause breakouts.

3.       Moisturise Regularly
Light, Non-Comedogenic Moisturiser: After cleansing, using a suitable moisturizer helps maintain skin hydration and barrier function, keeping the skin smooth and protected.

4.       Hands Off the Face
Avoid Touching and Picking: Teach them the importance of keeping their hands off their face to prevent transferring dirt and bacteria, which can cause acne and irritation. Picking at pimples can lead to scarring.

5.       Daily Sunscreen Use
Broad-Spectrum SPF 30 or Higher: Emphasise the importance of applying sunscreen every day, even when it’s cloudy or if they’re indoors near windows. Consistent sunscreen use is crucial for preventing sun damage, premature aging, and reducing the risk of skin cancer.

6.       Stay Hydrated
Water Intake: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is vital for keeping the skin hydrated and maintaining its elasticity. Encourage them to carry a water bottle and make hydration a daily habit.

7.       Healthy Eating Habits
Balanced Diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can greatly benefit the skin. Limit sugary and processed foods, which can contribute to inflammation and breakouts.

These habits are practical, easy to implement, and align with advice from leading skincare professionals, helping to build a solid foundation for lifelong healthy skin.

Cheers to great skin!
