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:-CleanseDry 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!
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!
