Shopping for skincare gifts for your tweens and teens? Many are excited to try products they see on social media — but let’s talk about what they really need! 🎁
Many popular skincare products contain active, harsh ingredients that can irritate young skin and lead to breakouts or allergic reactions. Using too many products can also cause active ingredients to clash or result in too much of the same ingredient.
Young skin doesn’t need complex or anti-aging products. Choose gentle, age-appropriate options and check the ingredient list. Avoid vitamin C, exfoliating acids, retinol, and anti-aging ingredients. ❌
A simple routine is best: gentle cleanser, moisturizer, SPF 30+ sunscreen, and lip balm.
If your child has skin concerns, schedule an appointment with one of our dermatologists for personalized, age-appropriate recommendations. 👩🏻⚕️
