The Best Skincare for Teens: Start Your Routine Right
Overview
The teenage years are a crucial time for establishing effective skincare habits to manage acne, oiliness, and sensitivity. Navigating the world of skincare can be overwhelming, and it's easy to get carried away with “too much, too soon,” which can often damage your skin barrier. Not to worry, with a few essential steps and the right ingredients, you can achieve clear, healthy skin that glows with confidence. Remember, simplicity and consistency are your best friends.
Key Ingredients
Salicylic Acid: Helps to unclog pores and prevent acne.
Niacinamide: Reduces inflammation and regulates oil production.
Hyaluronic Acid: Keeps the skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Ceramides: Strengthen the skin's barrier and retain moisture.
Top Skincare Tips for Teens
- Keep It Simple: Start with a basic skincare routine featuring a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturiser, and a sunscreen. This trio is the foundation for healthy, glowing skin, adding in more actives than you need will only lead to irritable skin. You have been warned!

Best Skincare in Your 30s: Staying Radiant
Overview
Your 30s are a pivotal decade for skincare, where the focus shifts to addressing early signs of ageing and maintaining your skin's youthful appearance. Introducing key ingredients like vitamin A (retinoids) and barrier-supporting components can help keep your skin resilient and glowing. Here’s how to create a proactive skincare routine that caters to your skin's evolving needs.
Key Ingredients
- Retinoids: Boost collagen production and address early signs of ageing.
- Peptides: Support skin repair and improve elasticity.
