Updated: a day ago
We often wonder to start off with skincare when we actually start seeing skin concerns such as pigmentation, acne, fine lines, dehydrated skin. In order to repair our skin, all of a sudden, we start choosing skincare routine or skincare products such as AHA and BHA Exfoliation, Antioxidant serum, Anti-Aging Eye Creams, Retinoids, Benzoyl Peroxide, etc. But introducing strong ingredients to our skin could worse the condition resulting in sensitivity, irritation and breakouts.
Now the question is How and When should start with our skincare routine or skincare products?
Choosing the correct Skincare Product, Slowly introducing it to your skin and being Consistent is the ultimate key!
To start off with a Skin care routine, you must know your skin type i.e. dry, combination or oily and accordingly choose the skincare products.
Most of us have gone through Teen Acne. Teen acne is one of the very common we all know this, sebum production happens due to puberty or athletic activity. Yeah, it might be rough, and everybody struggles with it, especially when you are very oily at the T- zone. First, don’t panic it’s normal and won’t last long and second, I am here to help you share the most of my experience and knowledge. 😉
I have covered up moisturizers for oily skin, sunscreens for oily skin, serums and cleansers for oily skin which you might want to explore and choose right products to make a skincare routine for oily skin type or drugstore skincare routine for oily skin.
Skincare Routine Order for Beginners and Teenagers | Skin Care Tips for Teenagers and Beginners
To easily understand the rule of skincare product application, to apply your products with the thinnest consistency to thickest, simply from liquid to cream to oils.
You might like to follow below Skincare Order for day/ night skincare routine steps:
Make-up Removers such as micellar water or cleansing oils
Gel based foaming Cleansers
Mild Serums, usually prefer this step, in case of acne
Hydrating Moisturizers
Sunscreen, a must in morning skincare routine steps
Note: You might like to use mild scrub once a week;
At the beginning of any skincare routine, be very gentle by not choosing strong active ingredients such as retinoids, vitamin C, kojic acid, AHAs, BHA and try to stick to a routine for at least 4 weeks, avoid applying to many products at one time.
Skincare for Teenagers should include very gentle products that may include Niacinamide, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica Extract, Snail Mucin, Squalane, Beta-Glucan, Argan Oil, Turmeric, Saffron Rosehip Oil , Green Tea, Honey and Sunscreens.
Start using rich hydrating night creams. I have written about all types of skin care fragrance free and moisturizers which you might like to explore. Moisturizers help to maintain a protective coating against harsh outside conditions and infections, most of us do need extra hydration due to long day hours of work.
I would highly recommend starting with natural skincare products to go for a natural skin care routine for 6 months or more and then move on to other friendly skincare ingredients given above. There aama Ayurveda, etc.re many Indian Brands that you could explore such as Mama Earth,Forest Essentials, Kama Ayurveda, etc.
Avoid Fragrance or essential oils. I am personally not a fan of fragrance essential oils because it can be highly irritating to the face giving no real benefits at all.
So, starting off skincare as early as possible help a lot to delay signs of aging, protects you skin from UVA or UVB Already have skin care ingredient
