Going back to school? It's time for Skin Care 101

The start of a new school year is an exciting time and we know our younger clients want to look their best! From fluctuating hormones and the onset of acne, to changes in skin texture and good skin hygiene, there are challenges, but our estheticians are here to help. We’re doing a deep dive on the best skin care products for teens and young adults and what to incorporate into a routine to achieve a radiant complexion.

Healthy skin loves a good routine

• Cleanse skin twice a day Cleansing the skin gently twice daily (no more than that) is recommended to help lift buildup and oil from the pores and minimize the development of breakouts and acne. Over scrubbing or washing aggressively leads to skin irritation, excessive dryness, and potentially more breakouts.

• Always wash makeup off before bed Going to bed without washing makeup off is a big no-no. Aside from the oil production and natural debris buildup on the skin that occurs overnight, adding makeup to the mix leaves pores clogged and prone to pimples.

• Don’t forget to moisturize Teenagers might be hesitant to moisturize because they think it will make skin oilier, but it’s an essential step to prevent skin from feeling irritated or dry. Because acne treatment can be drying, the consistent application of moisturizer is important to balance skin and keep it from drying out.

• Exfoliate to reveal healthy skin To reduce breakouts and dullness, exfoliation is recommended to keep skin looking and feeling healthy. With a gentle but effective chemical exfoliant, you can slough away dead skin cells, break down clogged debris, minimize excess oil and get deeper into pores for a thorough cleanse without harsh scrubbing.

Treat your skin to a facial

If you need a little more attention to address certain concerns, that’s where facials and treatments booked with one of our licensed estheticians can help. Targeted treatment formulas in our facials come with higher concentrations of powerful ingredients that can brighten dark spots, get rid of acne, or clear away irritating breakouts, while also soothing stressed skin.

Our Teen Facial is an excellent treatment that introduces teens to proper skin care and personalized product recommendations. This specialized facial concentrates on deep pore cleansing, purifying exfoliation, removal of impurities, and a purifying mask.
