Best Facial Routine For Teenagers: Tips For Skin Care
Adolescence brings significant changes to our bodies, including our skin. Just as our moods fluctuate, our skin experiences highs and lows. With these tips, you can make the best facial daily practice for your teenage skin and preventing blackheads and pimples.
Understanding Your Skin Type
During your teenage years, knowing your skin type is crucial to selecting the right products that cleanse, moisturize, and protect. Whether you have a shiny face, blackheads, blemishes in the T-zone, or tight and irritated skin on your cheeks, identifying your skin type helps you care for it properly.
To tackle blackheads in the T-zone, use NIVEA Anti-Blackhead Cleansing Strips once a week for best results.
Custom Skincare for Different Skin Types
Combination Skin: Face With Normal And Oily Areas
Combination skin features both oily and dry areas. The T-zone (forehead, eyebrows, nose, and chin) tends to be oily, blemished, and open-pored. In contrast, the skin around the T-zone is smooth with smaller pores, while the cheek area is dry and sometimes tight.
Tip: As combination skin can become dehydrated, use a highly moisturizing day cream with sun protection.
Oily Skin: Managing Shine and Visible Pores
Oily skin is characterized by a shiny, pale appearance with visibly open pores. The T-zone and chin often have spots and blackheads due to hormonal changes during puberty.
Tip: Don’t pop pimples, as this will cause inflammation and scarring. Use special products for your impure skin, with “non-comedogenic” formulas (i.e., ones that prevent blackheads from appearing) and with antibacterial properties. You can be sure that these products won’t block your pores. In addition, they will cover small impurities and give the skin a matte effect.
Dry Skin: Combatting Redness and Irritation
Dry skin is delicate and requires ample moisture. Insufficient natural oils and moisture from underactive sebaceous glands can cause dryness, irritation, and redness. Use NIVEA Nourishing Day Cream with SPF 30 to provide the hydration and softness your skin needs.
Normal Skin: Face With A Balanced And Radiant Complexion
Normal skin is matte and rarely shiny, except during exercise. Occasional spots are normal for teenagers due to hormonal changes. A balance between dry and oily areas indicates well functioning sebaceous glands. Use NIVEA Refreshing Day Cream with SPF 30 for necessary hydration.
Basic Beauty Fundamental For Young People
The skin accumulates dirt and oil during the day, which promotes the appearance of pimples and other blackheads. This facial care routine will help you to maintain your fresh and clear looking skin.
How To Take Care Of Your Face
1. CLEAN YOUR FACE WELL
Wash your face daily with an antibacterial cleansing gel like NIVEA Gentle Facial Scrub with Rice. It removes excess sebum and dead cells, preventing bacterial growth. For those who wear makeup, thorough removal at night is essential.
2. TONE THE SKIN
After cleansing, use a toner to eliminate any remaining residue. Apply it all over your face or target spots and blackheads. Toner dissolves excess oil in pores, preventing breakouts and blackheads.
3. HYDRATE YOUR SKIN
Use a moisturizing cream suitable for your skin type. Teenage skin benefits from a hydrating face cream that protects and leaves the skin looking radiant and fresh.
Skincare Tips for Teens
● Regular Cleansing: Cleanse your skin morning and night to remove excess oil.
● Managing Oily Skin: Use facial wipes during the day to remove excess sebum and reduce shine.
● Exfoliation: Use soft sponges to clean your face, helping to reduce shine and remove dead skin.
● Nourishing Dry Skin: If you have dry skin, apply a nourishing mask to soothe irritation and provide hydration.
● Blackhead Strips: Use NIVEA blackhead strips to keep the T-zone clean and pores clear.
● Hands Off: Avoid touching your face to prevent skin irritation and bacteria on its surface.
● Exercise: Physical activity, especially outdoors, boosts blood flow to your skin, giving it a healthy glow.
Getting Rid Of Blackheads The Right Way
Using lukewarm or cool water to wash your face can help manage pimples and blackheads since warm temperatures stimulate oil production in the sebaceous glands. Avoid home remedies like toothpaste for drying out pimples and refrain from squeezing them to prevent bacteria from entering the skin and causing inflammation. If you must pop a pimple, use a tissue between your fingers and apply gentle pressure. Disinfect the area afterward to reduce the risk of infection.
By following these tips and understanding your skin type, you can maintain clear, healthy skin throughout your teenage years.
