Discover our special teen routine for a purified complexion at back-to-school time, and all year round. Here is how to learn, early on, to take care of the skin on your face!
Adolescence is a complex stage in everyone’s life: hormonal changes affect both body and mind. And it isn’t always easy to accept all these changes, whether you are a boy or a girl, especially when skin problems invade everyday life.
On top of this comes the stress of going back to school, with lessons starting again, starting secondary school for those in ‘6ème’, the pressure of social media, the importance of appearance when you are a teenager, and so on … All these emotions and changes will affect the radiance of teenagers’ complexions. We know it: the skin of the face is often a mirror of our emotional state!
Fortunately, there are solutions for a radiant complexion at back-to-school time, so you don’t add a new source of stress to an already long list in adolescence.
Good habits formed in adolescence last. The earlier you get into the habit of caring for your skin, the more firmly this routine takes root and helps you show a radiant complexion at any age (adapting the products used as your skin changes over the years – of course).
The teen routine recommended by the Belweder team today applies to all teenagers, regardless of gender: girls and boys are equally concerned. Having beautiful skin is a precious ally for feeling confident and coping with the stress of secondary school and teenage life in general. To that end, here is the teen routine we suggest:
- A balancing serum in the morning (mandelic acid)
- A purifying serum in the evening (salicylic acid)
A balancing serum in the morning, with mandelic acid: all skincare is applied to clean skin.
Cleansing the skin at bedtime is essential, but not enough: every morning you need to remove the residues of night-time perspiration, as well as any traces of cosmetic products applied the evening before, which may have clogged the pores of the epidermis. We advise you to opt for a gentle cleanse, avoiding overly harsh products, suited to the sensitivity of the skin.
Once your skin is clean, apply the balancing serum with mandelic acid. It meets the needs of acne-prone, blemish-prone skin perfectly. Used daily for a minimum of one month, this serum helps to:
- tighten enlarged pores;
- smooth away imperfections;
- fade marks;
- stimulate collagen production.
- balance the complexion (reduce shine)
Our serum contains Witch Hazel, which boosts the action of mandelic acid while soothing any irritation and helping, in particular, acne spots to heal.
A purifying serum in the evening with salicylic acid
Once again, cleansing the skin is essential. The epidermis has been under attack all day long from pollution, air conditioning, UV rays, stress … It is therefore vital to remove all the impurities that may have built up over the hours.
On clean skin, apply our purifying serum with salicylic acid: our beauty ally for teenage skin. It smooths away imperfections and tightens enlarged pores by halting the proliferation of bacteria. The result: fewer spots, a refined skin texture, smoother, less shiny skin.
- The sun: a false friend. Avoid overly long exposure to UV rays: although a tan seems to hide skin imperfections, they come back stronger after a few weeks, because the skin has been too badly damaged
- Use non-comedogenic make-up products so as not to clog the pores
- Avoid overdosing on charcuterie …
- Picking or scratching your spots means risking multiplying them …
- Wash your make-up brushes regularly
As soon as the changes linked to adolescence start to show on the face, it is time to begin a morning and evening beauty routine.
Indeed, we are not all equal when it comes to adolescence! It is therefore hard to give a precise age for starting specific skincare. Nevertheless, it is always possible to make your children aware, from quite a young age, of the importance of looking after their skin, so that this new stage of life is easier to live with and to come to terms with.
And if this beauty routine proves insufficient, don’t hesitate to consult a dermatologist to help your teenager and complement the action of our products …
