What to Look For in Teen Skincare Products
Not sure what skincare gift a teen would be excited to unwrap? Here’s what you should keep in mind when shopping for a teen skincare holiday gift:
-
Gentle Formulas and Natural Ingredients Teen skin can be sensitive so it’s important to look for skincare that has natural ingredients and is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help nourish and protect the skin. That’ll ensure you can target common teen skin concerns while being gentler on young, sensitive skin. Look for soothing ingredients like green tea or aloe vera.
-
Hydrating and Moisturizing Ingredients Even oily teens need hydration! Lightweight moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin help keep skin balanced and prevent dryness without causing breakouts.
-
Oil-Control and Acne Prevention Opt for oil-control or acne-prevention products for teens with oily or acne-prone skin. These can help reduce shine throughout the day while fighting dreaded breakouts.
-
Easy-to-Use Products Simplicity is key for skincare beginners. Pre-soaked wipes, sheet masks, and multi-purpose cleansers make it easy for teens to establish a quick, effective routine without the hassle.
-
Fun Packaging! Who doesn’t love fun packaging?! Teens especially love products that look as good as they feel and are fun to use. Choose skincare with colorful packaging or holiday-themed sets that make the skincare experience more exciting.
