Why Should Kids & Tweens Have a Skincare Routine?

• A gentle cleanser.
• Daily sunscreen to protect skin.
• A lightweight, oil-free moisturizer.

When introducing skincare to your child at a young age, you're helping them to establish healthy habits and to prevent skin-related issues at a later stage. Nonetheless, it's super important to make sure that the products they are using are formulated specifically for children so as not to harm their sensitive skin!

The first step is to establish a good routine, and then to look for age-appropriate products which will complement the routine. The main points to keep in mind are that skincare should both cleanse and nourish the skin to allow it to function healthily and effectively.

Kids need simple skincare routines that they can easily learn to do themselves and that can be completed quickly and easily.

For very young children, simply cleansing each day and using a good moisturizer will be adequate. Apply moisturizer immediately after cleansing the skin.

In the morning, preteens and teens should wash their faces with a gentle cleanser. Then, they should apply a noncomedogenic (which means it won't clog pores) sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. In the evening, they can use that same gentle cleanser and apply a light, oil-free moisturizer

The Products

Cleanser: A good cleanser is super important as it removes impurities, oil and external toxins like dirt. Make sure that the cleanser is gentle, as it is important for the skin to retain its natural oils

Moisturiser: No need for anything too intense, a light moisturiser allows the skin to maintain a good level of hydration.

Sun Protection: It's important to use at least SPF30, as UV radiation from the sun can be quite damaging to the skin.

It is also important to try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, as this allows the skin to repair itself, and to also eat healthy as fruit and vegetables provide the body with many vitamins which in turn support healthy skin.
