We all know the phrase, “Start em young,” so why not apply this to skin care?! Teen acne is very common but can also be very preventable if we teach our kids skin care regimens early on in order to treat the skin and protect it.
It is never too early to start teaching kids to follow a solid skin care routine. By doing so, this can help prevent any skin problem down the line and can result in healthy skin that lasts well into their adult years. Once the routine is embedded at a young age, it becomes easier to follow a skin care regime to support great skin and avoid wrinkles, dull skin, and most importantly teen acne. Great skin care starts with a good cleanser, moisturizer, and sunblock.
To promote healthy skin, the first thing you should teach your kids is to cleanse twice a day— both in the morning and night. Our Acne ER Daily Defense Cleanser is a great starter for your young ones and teens! The Acne Defense Cleanser is a sulfate free product that works for all skin types. Not only does this cleanser reduce impurities, but it also hydrates skin and calms any irritation. After using this Acne Defense Cleanser, you will feel a difference on the skin, leaving it soft and subtle. Teaching your child to use this cleanser after waking up and before going to bed is a simple way to encourage smooth skin and protect the skin against acne.
After a cleanser, step two is to moisturize! This is an essential step in the routine that keeps the skin hydrated and full. A product that we recommend is our Acne ER Daily Hydration SPF. Our Daily Hydrating Creme is a weightless hydrator that is ideal for all skin types. Using this cream will improve your child’s skin mechanism functions, stimulates tissue repair, and balances skin hydration. We love this because of how lightweight and soothing it is!
Because our Daily Hydrating Creme has SPF in it, this product is also great for UV protection. With children often out in the sun all day, the UV protection that our Daily Hydrating Creme has provides protection against sunburn, dehydration, wrinkles, and other serious skin problems like cancer.
Lastly, in order to make sure we are fighting the effects of such damaging influences like toxins or the sun’s UV rays, it is important to treat any impurities with the right products! Our product, the Acne-ER Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Acne Medicine, is great for reducing the effect of impurities as a teenager. This powerful acne treatment kills the acne that causes bacteria and helps prevent breakouts from occurring in the future. Not only does this acne medicine control breakouts, but it also reduces any inflammation and kills bacteria.
By adopting a skin care regimen early on, this means the pores on clear skin will be less likely to clog up or have excessive oils. Starting young can result in beautiful skin for years to come. The three products we recommend here — from the Acne ER Daily Defense Cleanser, Acne ER Daily Hydration SPF, and Acne ER Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Acne Medicine— are all a perfect and easy way to start up your child’s skin care routine!
