Dear Gabby!
Omg! Thank you so much for writing me with your question and most importantly, using my Victoria’s Best Japanese Organic Green Matcha Tea and getting results! That’s incredible and I’m so glad I am here to help. As you probably know, I work with a lot of TV personalities, celebrities, and models and they always have skin care problems. The best thing you can do if you are an adult or teen is to have an effective and consistent skin care routine. Especially if you are a teen. The best skin care routine for teens should be simple, easy to follow, and using products that best fit your skin type and specific problems you want to improve. Here is where I would advice for you to start:
Cleanse It
Cleansing is the first thing in a skin care routine for teens. Cleansing helps in removing dust, pollutants, grease and extra oil from your skin, thereby preventing damage to your skin.
A skin care routine for teens begins by choosing a cleanser specially formulated for your skin type. Although everyone’s skin basically has a similar structure, the amount of oil produced by your skin has a huge impact on the degree of formulations of cleansers. For instance, dry skin formulations may contain more moisturizers than the oily skin types. However, bar soaps generally (no matter how they claim to contain moisturizers) are too drying and must be used only from the neck down. If your cleanser leaves a “squeaky” finish, then it is not right for your skin and can cause it to be dry because it removes your skin’s natural oil and lipids. A good skin care routine for teens responds to your skin’s actual needs and removes dirt and makeup.
Once you have selected the right cleanser for your skin type, Just spot your face and neck with a good cleansing lotion or cream and gently massage it into your skin using upward strokes. Use water that is not too hot. Hot water drys out your skin. Use a soft face tissue or cotton wool to wipe your face in a gentle patting fashion (do not rub). Cleansing should be done at least twice a day i.e. morning (as part of a complete skin care routine for teens) and evening (on a standalone basis). Water soluble cleansers are the best for inclusion in your skin care for teens routine.
Special Note: Never sleep in your makeup! Make sure you cleanse your face every night, especially if you wear makeup. Even if you only wear a sheer color foundation, mascara, and lipgloss. It doesn’t matter, cleanse it!
Exfoliate It
Exfoliation means to scrub the dead skin cells off your skin. Your skin sheds layers of dead skin cells almost daily. But, when you wash your face and don’t exfoliate afterward, you skin will not have a healthy glow. You will see blotches or dark spots on your face, or dry areas even though your face may be mostly oily. That’s why this step is extremely important.
Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, exfoliation can be done daily if it’s a mild formulation. It’s necessary at least once a week (or twice, depending on the skin type and the environmental conditions).
Moisturize It
The next thing in a good skin care routine for teens, is moisturizing. In fact, moisturizing is the most important part of a skin care for teens routine. Moisturizers prevent your skin from getting dry. Dry skin is really undesirable since it cause the upper layer skin to break, leading to dead skin cells. Again, use light upward strokes to make the moisturizer more effective. Moisturizers work the best when applied on warm and damp skin. So do not try to remove all the moisture in the previous steps of your skin care for teens routine.
Mask It!
A facial mask is a creamy formulation used to correct skin care problems like oiliness, dryness, acne, dark spots, wrinkles, and more. Using a mask at least once a week is part of a good skin care routine for teens. Formulations can be made at home like DIY recipes, or it can be purchased in a bottle or jar. They are applied with a brush or your fingers, left on your face for a period of time and washed off. Some masks are extremely simple. The formulation is infused in a light cloth-type material you lay on your face and there is zero cleanup.
Facial masks are important because they have a concentrated ingredients specifically for your problem. Masks that you can buy vary in price, they are easy to find in most stores, and you can buy a variety for every skin care problem you have.
Anti-Age It!
You may be a teen, but you need to start anti-aging your skin now! Why? Because you will slow down the aging process of your skin. Most people wait until they see wrinkles to start an anti-aging skin care routine. By this time, it’s very difficult to correct and very costly. If you make using products that help reverse the signs of aging now, you will look years younger as you age. Look for moisturizers and other skin products that have collagen boosting ingredients, and formulations that help heal, protect, and create new skin cells faster. If you get new skin cells faster, you can correct your skin problems faster. If you do have acne, use products specifically for your type of acne.
What Type Of Skin Products Are Best For A Skin Care Routine For Teens?
Organic Skin Care Products
Organic skin care products is one of the beauty industries rapidly growing areas. It is likely that through the use of an array skin care and body products, people apply over two-hundred chemicals to their skin daily. Moreover, recent studies have shown that sixty percent of the chemicals are absorbed by the bloodstream. It has also been established that numerous people with eczema, skin complaints, and allergies have been provoked by chemicals in body and skin care products.
A lot of products for skin care are known or suspected to contain neutroxins, hormone disruptors, and carcinogens. Man-made fragrances, as well as those natural fragrances are often allergenic. Ingredients such as sheeps wool may be polluted with pesticides. Other chemicals in these products interrelate with nitrites that form carcinogens known as nitrosamines.
The best means of steering clear of these artificial chemicals to enter the body is the use of only certified organic skin care products, which are chemical-free and fresh.
So what are organic skin care products? These are products with organic components which have been grown without using artificial pesticides and fertilizers. The regulations that govern organically grown produce, also forbid the utilization of ingredients that are genetically modified.
Conventional skin care products need bactericides and preservatives to protect them from contamination, and most of these components release irritating and allergenic reactions. They can never do away with using these ingredients as they serve as one of the main components of the product. Organic skin care products offer a great alternative for skin care with much more benefits: both on the outside gently yet effectively caring for the skin, and the inside not being intoxicated with chemicals.
I suffered from acne and other skin problems beginning in my teen years to adulthood. I still have to take care of my skin, and I have found that organic skin care products to be the best for a good skin care routine for teens. That’s why I created my skin care line called Skin Tight Naturals. One of the best products to start your skin care for teens routine is with a great cleanser. That’s why I recommend, Victoria’s Skin Tight Naturals Model Series Deep Pore Refining Daily Cleanser! My customers LOVE this facial wash!
