Among the top skin problems for teens is excess oiliness and acne. For some teens it’s just an occasional pimple, yet, for some others it’s an aggressive breakout. Increased hormone levels coupled with increased oiliness of the skin often goes hand in hand with blemishes, whiteheads or blackheads. Teenagers have struggled with skin-aches since the dawn of time.

Further, today’s teens are growing up in a selfie and Instagram driven age. Being constantly under the selfie spotlight, they have become more conscious of their skin and what it takes to keep it glamorous and glowing. Apart from that being a motivation - teens have also become more health conscious and along with eating right they also care about the right products for their skin.

The first step towards a clean and clear skin is to re-evaluate the products that are applied. Choose Products that are powerful enough to remove excess oil, yet, free from aggressive surfactants so as to avoid irritation and inflammation.

Organic products that have all the goodness of nature and few to almost null side effects will give the teenage skin the gentle care it requires.

Here are a few things to consider for your teenager’s skincare:

Cleansing

Regular cleansing is one of the most effective ways to control acne. The extra oil that is generated sticks the dead skin cells together, leading to build up and clogged pores. Cleansing with gentle cleansers will ensure that this does not happen and at the same time they don’t damage and dry the skin. Natural skincare products are gentle and do not lead to over aggressive cleaning that results in increased oil production and breakouts.

Acne prone skin

For acne prone skin, choosing a moisturizer could be difficult. Look for lightweight textures with balancing and soothing ingredients – floral waters, plant extracts – etc. Hydration is extremely important as dried out skin automatically starts producing more oil making the skin look and feel worse. 100% natural skincare products such as rose water are absorbed into the skin, soothe the irritated skin and helps balance the skin.

Non-clogging make up

It’s quite understandable to use make up to hide blemishes. But, it’s essential to also understand that heavy foundations often make things worse. Organic products, especially those made from rose petals and other natural ingredients are non-clogging and even out your skin tone too by blurring out the spots. This gives your skin a long term – fresh and radiant look.

Deodorant

Triggered by the changing hormone levels, excess sweating is another very common problem for teens. Antiperspirants are usually based on synthetic compounds and artificial fragrances. They try to prevent sweating by blocking the pores. Choosing natural deodorants give a soft and gentle aroma are perfect for the teen’s sensitive skin. Calming and odor-controlling blend of natural plant essences ensures natural all-day protection against unpleasant aroma without clogging the pores or disturbing the natural processes and functions of the body. Soft and gentle aroma is soothing too.

 100% natural skincare for teens will have long term effects leaving the skin looking healthy and full of life – just like your teenager!
