Tips for taking care of teen skin

With two teens at home we deal with a lot of hormones. We've been dealing with hormone-induced acne breakouts. We have worked to establish skin care regimens appropriate for young acne-prone skin.

Acne, blackheads, and oily skin top the list of teen skin complaints. The most important thing is to avoid using harsh products on young skin. It will dry them out. These are the products I recommend.

Cetaphil Facial Cleanser

Despite all the marketing, teens don't need a lot of fancy skincare products. A simple, gentle cleanser like this one is sufficient for morning and night..

Elta-MD Sunscreen SPF 40

This is my hands-down favorite sunscreen for the face. It's not greasy, it absorbs easily, and it locks in moisture.
