The Teen Skin Care Regime/Routine
A good skin care regime is essential for good,youthful skin, free from oil, blackheads and blemishes and this is especially important for teens, as they're most prone to these kind of problems as their hormones are developing right now to adult hormones and these hormones may produce extra oil(sebum) which may cause to pore clogging and breakouts. Not to worry though, an effective skin care routine is easy to implement. You just need the right products for your skin type, the correct techniques and the motivation to care for your skin every single day! Your skin will thank you, I promise! Some of these beauty tips can be implemented by some guys too if they really need to.The teen skincare regime includes:-
- Cleansing
- Toning
- Exfoliating
- Moisturising
Cleanse your face twice a day,morning and night, to wash off the dirt,oil and sweat and preventing from clogging the pores.Wash your face with warm water at first to open up the pores and get it ready for a deep cleansing.Massage your face gently to a foam with a suitable face wash(preferably,containing salicylic acid).And wash off with cold water to close the pores.
Tone your face by using cotton swabs or cotton wool by dipping in rosewater or a toner for your skin type,to wipe off any extra dirt remaining and ensure a squeaky clean face! Gently swipe the whole face continuing to the neck.
Exfoliating is just as important in a skincare regime.Exfoliate only once a week to remove any dead skin cells build up on the face.Use a mild scrub with beads to scrub your face,do it gently,harshly rubbing may cause redness and irritation.
Moisturising is extremely important for beautiful skin.Choose the right moisturiser that is not too oily,choose one that is lightweight and airy to let your skin breathe or the excessive oil may clog your pores and cause pimples.
