Rutina de îngrijire Adolescenți 14-18 ani

Many parents are interested in when to start taking care of teenagers’ facial skin. It all depends on the individual characteristics of your child’s body. Some children start puberty as early as 9-10 years old. For others, acne associated with hormonal changes may appear at 13-14 years old or even later.

In this case, it is important not to miss the moment and to choose complete care at the first signs of change. The longer you delay choosing skincare products, the more severe the consequences will be, including scars (post-acne) – these can remain on the face for years.

Is the routine different for boys and girls?

There are no significant differences – basic steps such as cleansing, moisturizing, and nourishing remain the same. It all depends on the child’s skin type.

However, if a girl wears makeup, it is necessary to have products that allow safe and efficient makeup removal.

How to take care of a teenager’s skin if it’s dry?

Cleansing and toning. It should be as gentle as possible. Use hydrophilic oils and cleansing foams that do not dry out the skin and contain only natural ingredients. The toner will restore the hydro-lipid balance after cleansing products.

Moisturizing. An important step to prevent flaking and other consequences of dry skin. You can use a moisturizing cream and a hydrating serum.

Skincare for oily and combination skin

Oily and combination skin types are most common in teenagers. These are accompanied not only by an unpleasant oily appearance due to excessive sebum production but also by the appearance of skin eruptions and inflammations, which leave scars, cause itching, and uncomfortable sensations.

If the child has oily skin, the care should be as follows:

Cleansing: It is done with lightweight products, without essential oils in the composition.

Toning: Toner will restore the hydro-lipid balance after cleansing products.

Moisturizing: The shiny appearance is also caused by skin dehydration. It is important to rebalance hydration with moisturizing products.

Local treatment for imperfections: It is a quick care product, applied locally, which quickly reduces inflammation. And most importantly – under no circumstances:

do not use alcohol-based products;

do not squeeze skin eruptions at home;

do not use scrubs with large abrasive particles;

do not wash your face too often, to avoid removing the protective layer and stimulating excessive sebum production.

How to take care of a teenager’s skin with normal skin type?

Teenage skin care with a normal skin type is based on one main rule – do not overdo it, so as not to harm.

If the child does not have skin eruptions or a shiny appearance, it is not necessary to experiment with skincare products. Stick to basic and most necessary products for daily face care.

Additional facial care for teenagers:

This additional skincare for teenagers with issues is necessary if there are many skin eruptions and acne. In this case, you need to use:

Masks and patches: Once or twice a week is sufficient. Enzymatic peeling with fine particles for exfoliation and removal of keratinized cells from the skin, or exfoliating pads.

You should know that if there is acne on the face, in 80% of cases it appears or will appear on the body as well. In this case, you need a body product that regulates sebum secretion.

Use sunscreen: This is true for any age and especially for teenagers. Before sun exposure, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen or SPF 30 and higher to all exposed areas. Have sunscreen products on hand to reapply as needed.
