Navigating Skincare Products: Opt for mild, non-comedogenic skincare products designed for sensitive skin, free from harsh chemicals and fragrances that can irritate young skin.
Dangers of Trendy Skincare: Be wary of following skincare trends on social media without understanding their effects. What works for one person may not be suitable for everyone, especially for teens with sensitive skin.
Gentle Cleansing and Moisturising: Use gentle cleansers and moisturisers that do not strip the skin's natural oils. Maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier is key to healthy skin. Many teens turn to harsh, over-the-counter products in an attempt to quickly combat acne, which can strip the skin of essential oils and lead to increased irritation and dryness. While exfoliation can help in removing dead skin cells, overdoing it can cause significant harm. Stick to gentle exfoliants and limit exfoliation to once a week to prevent skin damage and irritation.
