Three Steps for Effective Teen Facial Skin Care

For teenagers this is an important time to start learning some effective skin care and forming habits to help in avoiding avoid skin care problems. There are three areas of effective teen facial skin care;

Facial Cleansing

It's important to cleanse the skin daily to remove dirt, oil, and the dead skin cells that are continually accumulating on the skin surface. Washing your skin also rids the skin of excess oil, which can prevent acne.

Teens shouldn't be using anything other than a gentle cleanser on their skin, and realistically need to only wash the face thoroughly once a day, unless they have been active in activities where they have become very sweaty and dirty.

Our Patchouli Lavender Natural Face Wash is a hydrating face wash made with 100% Olive Oil Liquid Castile Soap to gently and thoroughly clean the skin. Castile is probably the most gentle skin cleanser available, and with this face wash being 100% natural and without the usual synthetic additives and artificial fragrances found in any other products there is less potential to aggravate sensitive teenage skins.

Hydrate/Moisturize

When you hydrate your skin, you simply add water, such as when washing your face. To moisturize your skin, you add water, oil, or both.

The idea that those with oily skin don't need a moisturizer is just plain false. Always moisturize after washing and drying the face. If your skin is very oily, you may choose to just moisturize in the morning.

Our Essence Des Plantes Organic Face Oil is a unique blend of five certified organic botanical oils designed to nourish and protect all skin types across all age groups. Because this face oil does not contain any synthetic ingredients or artificial fragrances it is particularly suited to teenage skins as it is often these artificial ingredients that cause skin problems in younger age groups.

Use a weekly exfoliator.  

Exfoliation is important in effective skin care, even for teenage skins, as it removes the top layer of dead skin cells which can create a dull appearance and attract dirt and oil.

The Indochine Natural Face Loofah are approximately 100 mm x 70 mm and made from specially selected loofah pieces cut to a convenient shape for the face. The way to use the face loofah is to lather up the face with Patchouli Lavender Natural Face Wash, thoroughly moisten the face loofah with water to soften it up, and then exfoliate with gentle circular motions of the face loofah. Don’t over do it!!!
