It's never to early to teach our kids the importance of skincare! Keeping their faces clean, moisturized and protected with SPF is so important and they will thank you for it one day! (we hope, right? LOL) It's important to buy the right products for their skin condition. Historically, we were all stripping any oil from our skin with harsh astringents. Anyone remember using plain old rubbing alcohol to clean your face? Stripping the oil from your face just sends your skin into survival mode and the sebaceous (oil) glands kick in and say, "hey that skin needs more moisture!" so, they send more oil, causing an endless cycle of excessive oil production, causing more problems. If they do not want to listen you and you are not sure what to buy for their skin care, bring them in for a facial. Part of my teen facial is discussing the importance of skincare, how to take care of their skin and the right products to be using.
