Dermalogica Cleanstart

Our teenage years are an ideal time to start getting into good habits and Dermalogica Cleanstart is a good area to start with!  

While the condition and appearance of your skin is influenced to a certain extent by hormones and genetics the kind of lifestyle you lead and your diet can have a huge impact on the health of your skin.  Eating healthily, getting enough zzzz’s, being active and steering clear of smoking will all work wonders on your skin and health!

Establishing a good skincare routine in your teens will not only keep your skin looking good when you’re young but will also help prevent skin problems such as acne, sun damage, discolouration and fine lines not only now but into your 20’s and well beyond!

Finding the right teenage skincare products is the first thing you should do.  Once you have found the right products for your skin you should start a basic daily skincare routine.  It only needs to take a few minutes morning and night to care for your skin!  Here’s how:-

Cleanse
Dry skin isn’t the type of skin that most teenagers have so the best type of cleansers for young skin are usually foaming cleansers or gels that are oil free and you need to choose one that doesn’t dry your skin out.  For skin that’s prone to breakouts a cleanser that contains salicylic acid (a beta-hydroxy acid that deep cleans pores without drying skin out) is the best choice.

Dermalogica Clean start Wash Off is a foaming face wash that is perfect for teenage skin because it deep cleanses and banishes skin breakouts.  It contains Salicylic Acid to clear trapped oils and breakout causing bacteria, plus botanical extracts which help regulate the production of oil.  

Tone
For normal or oily skin choose a toner that is slightly astringent or that contains Witch Hazel. During dry weather you could use a non-alcoholic conditioning toner.  

Moisturise
Even if your skin is oily and prone to breakouts you need to use a moisturiser.  All skins need moisture, not oil.  For daytime use choose an oil-free moisturiser with an SPF 15.  For nighttime use an oil-free moisturiser that’s formulated for nighttime use.  For the skin around your eyes you should use a gentle eye cream as this will not cause your eyes to become irritated!

Exfoliate
Once a week you should use a gentle exfoliator or a pore cleansing, exfoliating face mask.  Doing this will keep your pores cleansed and purified and whisk away dead skin cells, leaving your skin fresh and clear.

Additional treatments
You can add to your basic skincare routine when you need to, such as if you do have a breakout or the occasional pimple when you can use an on-the-spot treatment to zap them!

Dermalogica Cleanstart Teenage Skin Care

Taking care of your skin at any time in life has to be important. But when you're a teenager, it's usually something you don't have time to think about. Of course, until there's a problem.

One of the most common concerns for teenage skin is increased oil production. When skin reaches puberty, changing hormones stimulate glands in the skin. Blocked hair follicles lead to inflammation and red angry spots are usually the result.

Personal hygiene and diet are labelled as the culprits, but more often than not this is nothing more than a myth.

Rather than peddle our own teenage skin care products, we'll try and help out by telling you what to avoid:-

- Artificial fragrance and colour, which irritate the skin

- Mineral oil that causes small bumps and 'under surface' congestion

- Isopropyl Myristate, which is an alternative to using oil but is used in so called "oil free" products to provide a smooth texture, but again causes irritation to the skin.

- Alcohol, it dries and strips the skins natural barrier lipids.

Overusing those antiseptic products and scrubbing can over strip the skin too, kicking your complexion into oil production overdrive.

Finally, to avoid that over inflamed look, you should avoid picking and poking at your skin. As well as making it redder, you'll also increase the risk of bruising.
