Is your teen son or grandson battling to get on top of their skin or hair issues as those hormones kick in?

These 5 easy to follow tips can help them get into a good skincare routine for clearer, healthier skin.

Tip #1: Hydration is Key

Encourage them to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Hydration plays a vital role in maintaining skin health, so skip the sugary drinks and opt for good old H2O. Red bull and Gatorade don’t count!

Tip #2: Gentle is Best for Teen Boy Skin

Many commercial acne face washes and exfoliants are too harsh for the skin; they can actually make acne or oily skin and hair worse. Instead, choose gentle cleansers and soaps that don’t contain harsh ingredients that strip the skin and leave it feeling “tight” – this will lead to even more oil production.

Tip #3: Fresh Pillowcases, Fresh Skin

Changing pillowcases regularly is essential. The oil from their face and hair can accumulate on pillowcases, leading to increased oiliness.

Tip #4: Hands Off!

Our hands carry dirt and oils that transfer to the skin causing breakouts and irritation. Encourage them to keep their hands away from their face as much as possible.

Tip #5: Be consistent with a simple skincare routine

✅Cleanse: AM + PM with a Pure Olive Oil Bar soap or gentle cleanser that doesn’t dry the skin.
✅Exfoliate: Weekly exfoliation will help remove build up and encourage cellular regeneration so give the Lemon Myrtle Soap a try.
✅Moisturise: Keep skin lightly moisturised.
✅Protect: If your teen is an outdoor type then make sure SPF is part of the routine.
✅Wash: If their hair gets oily explain that they need to wash their hair. Not too often to over produce oil but to keep it clean to stop oil spreading to their face.

Bonus Tip: Harness the Power of Zinc

Zinc is a fantastic nutrient for teenagers and adults to support healthy skin. Consider adding high-quality zinc supplements into their daily routine to help reduce acne, prevent scarring, and support skin regeneration. Visit your local health food store, rather than the supermarket or chemist chain, for high quality options.

With these natural tips, your teenage boys can look after their skin, achieve a clearer complexion and set themselves up with healthy skin habits for life.
