Uncomplicated Skincare Tips: Let's Keep It Simple!
Tweens & Teens......Are you ready to dive into the world of skincare without all the fuss? I'm here to spill the tea (or should I say, the toner?) on keeping your skin healthy, happy & glowing without all the complicated routines & unnecessary skincare ingredients & products that can do more harm than good to young skin.
Let's face it (pun intended), navigating the world of skincare can feel overwhelming, especially for those just starting out on their journey to clear, radiant skin. But fear not! With a few simple tips & tricks, you can master the art of skincare without spending hours in front of the mirror or breaking the Mum & Dad's bank or spending all your hard earned money of course.
Cleanse Like a Boss: First things first, let's talk cleansing. Keep it gentle! Opt for a mild cleanser like "Basics Skin Clean Cleansing Milk" that won't strip your skin of its natural oils. Whether you're dealing with oily, dry, or combination skin, a gentle cleanser is your BFF. Cleanse morning & night to remove dirt, oil and makeup, and say hello to a fresh-faced glow!
Tone It Up: After cleansing, it's time to tone! Reach for a gentle, alcohol-free toner to balance your skin's pH levels & tighten pores. Apply a small amount to a cotton pad and gently swipe it across your face and neck or spritz away with Basics Skin Fresh Toning Lotion. Toning helps remove any leftover impurities & preps your skin for the next steps in your routine.
Hydration Station: Hydration is key, my friends. Keep your skin happy and hydrated by using a moisturiser with natural botanical ingredients like Shea Butter & Vitamin E. Look for a moisturiser that locks in moisture without clogging pores like Basics Nutri-Moist Moisturiser. And don't forget the sunscreen! Protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays by using a broad-spectrum SPF50 every single day. Your future self will thank you! My teen's favourite SPF50 for is her face is the UltraCare Smart Shield SPF50 Face Creme
Exfoliate Away: Dead skin cells begone! Exfoliation is key to achieving smooth, radiant skin. Treat yourself to a gentle exfoliating scrub once to twice per week to slough away dead skin cells & reveal a fresh, glowing complexion underneath. Just be sure not to overdo it – too much exfoliation can lead to irritation & sensitivity. Make sure to use a tween & teen friendly scrub like Basics Apricot Facial Masque & Scrub
Masking Marvels: Time to pamper yourself with a mask! Whether you're dealing with oily skin, dry patches, or just in need of a little extra TLC, there's a mask out there for you. Look for masks containing ingredients like clay to detoxify and purify. Apply your mask of choice once or twice a week, kick back, and relax while it works its magic. Basics Apricot Facial Mask & Scrub is perfect for teens & tweens as it's gentle and also doubles up as a Mask & Scrub saving your skin & bank account too!
Sayonara, Breakouts: Dealing with pesky pimples? Don't stress! Instead of loading up on harsh acne treatments, opt for gentle spot treatments containing ingredients like salicylic acid. Spot treat with Clear Spot Correcting Gel as needed to banish breakouts without irritating young skin. And remember, hands off! Resist the urge to pick or pop those pimples, as it can lead to scarring and more breakouts down the road.
Keep It Fresh & Clean: One word: hygiene. Keep your skincare routine simple but effective by regularly washing your pillowcases, makeup brushes, and hands. These seemingly small habits can make a big difference in preventing breakouts and keeping your skin looking its best.
Embrace Your Natural Beauty: Last but not least, embrace your natural beauty! Skincare isn't about achieving perfection or conforming to unrealistic standards. It's about taking care of yourself and feeling confident in your own skin. So rock that bare face with pride, and remember that true beauty shines from within.
There you have it!! Simple, straightforward skincare tips for tweens and teens that won't leave you feeling overwhelmed or confused. With a little love and attention, you can achieve the clear, glowing skin of your dreams. Now go forth and conquer, you skincare superstars!
