TEST: A Three-Step Routine To Clear Congested Teen Skin
March 21, 2022Um... teen skin’s easy, you guys. Just splash a bit of water on it every now and then. Kidding! Kidding. Dealing with teen skin can be incredibly frustrating. The raging hormones teenagers (that’s you!) experience are known for triggering overproduction of oil. (This is why it’s pretty common to have greasy, acne-prone in your teens.) It’s not all bad, though. Following a simple, effective routine (and picking up a few good skin habits) will go a loooong way to keep your skin in check. And we’ve gathered the details for all of it right here, just for you. (We’re generous like that.) First up, the three-step teen routine for clear, calm skin includes these must-do steps. [collection]bestselling-gifts,grid,3[/collection] 1. Cleanse Twice A Day First things first. You should wash your face twice a day. Breakouts and acne occur because of an overproduction of oil which results in clogged pores and the growth of bacteria inside your hair follicles. And as excess oil is very common in teen skin, cleansing morning and night is non-negotiable to remove excess oil and stop it from causing congestion. Some things to look for: – Cleansers with salicylic acid or willow bark extract will give skin a really good clean and get rid of excess oil. 2. Balance Your Skin With A Face Oil Using oil on oily skin may seem counterproductive/ridiculous, but it’s not. The oils in a face oil are different to those produced by the skin, so they don’t add more oil, but rather they help regulate the oil your skin is producing and really hydrate your skin. (And remember: oily skin is very often dehydrated.) In particular, face oils with buriti or jojoba oil are a great place to start. These are 15/10 for nourishing, while also being really soothing and lightweight. Exactly what your skin needs, in other words. 3. Clear Everything Out With Clay Clay masks (ahem, such as our own) do a tremendous job at giving an extra deep clean. They get rid of any leftover gross stuff from your pores and stop dead skin cells building up. Try adding one in once a week, as part of an at-home facial. Look for something with kaolin clay and zinc oxide; kaolin clay will and zinc oxide is ultra soothing. The ultimate clarifying combo. Featured products [collection_2]go-to-feed,grid,6,4[/collection_2] Other Helpful Habits To Try Wash Your Pillowcases RegularlyAnd your makeup brushes! And your towels! And your face masks! And everything that regularly touches your face. These are all spots where sweat, dirt, bacteria, and other gross stuff are known to build up and cause congestion. As a rule, you should be aiming to wash them all at least once a week. Give fragrance-free washing detergents a go. Their heavily fragranced counterparts can cause irritation for sensitive-skinned dames if you’re not careful. Invest In A Trusty Spot TreatmentBreakouts happen. To all of us! And that’s okay. Even if you’ve perfected your routine, that doesn’t mean you’ll never have a pimple again. So, keep your arsenal stocked and ready for when it does. If you do happen to get a pimple or two, it’s a good idea to have a targeted spot treatment on hand to sort them out fast. The Mario Badescu one has an obsessed, cult-y following. It dries out surface spots, therefore speeding up the healing process and reducing inflammation. Pimple patches are also a brilliant fix that won’t dry your skin out, so if you find that. [collection_3]go-to-feed,grid,3,10[/collection_3] Wear SPF DailyMaking SPF a part of your everyday ritual while you're getting in the swing of a skin care routine is one of the smartest things you can do for your skin. Easily. Daily SPF use will help prevent UV damage, which is something you want because prevention is a lot easier than trying to reverse that skin damage down the track. SPF! Every! Day!

February 15, 2022In my years as a beauty director, I tested zillions of products. It was my job to use, review and decode skin care, makeup and hair products, then communicate all of this in a fun, understandable way for the reader so he/she/they could quickly comprehend when to use Vitamin C (AM) and when to use Vitamin A (PM), as an example. I started that role at 23, as a complete beauty rookie, and quickly discovered there were many things I could be doing for my skin to ensure it was in good health now, and 20 years down the track. I got to learn this on the job, from the best in the field, using every kind of product, which was A) a ludicrously privileged position to be in, and B) an excellent template to go on to start a skin care line, so let me impart some of that good stuff.
