Hormonal changes, unhealthy eating habits and stress can invite a lot of skin issues during your teenage years. Forming healthy skincare habits and using the right products can keep these problems at bay and also prevent premature signs of ageing.

Your skin is super delicate as a teenager, so avoid using products with harsh chemicals. Keep your skincare and makeup routine as simple as possible. If you don’t have a skincare routine in place yet, it is never too late to get started. Follow these morning habits to get clear and healthy skin.

 

Cleanse

Cleanse

The most important step in any skincare routine is cleansing. No matter how late you’re getting for that early morning lecture, do not forget to wash your face first thing in the morning with a gentle face wash. The Ponds Pure White Mineral Clay Anti Pollution Purity Facial Foam is perfect for teenagers. The clay-based cleanser removes excess oil and keeps your skin glowing and matte all day.

 

Tone

Tone

It’s necessary to use a toner to manage oil production and maintain a healthy pH balance. It tightens the pores and gets rid of dirt and impurities that your cleanser might have failed to get rid of. The Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner is a calming, alcohol-free formula that soothes and hydrates the skin in an instant.

 

Moisturise

Moisturise

We know your skin tends to get too oily during the day. But that’s just because of the hormonal changes in the body. Your skin still needs hydration, but don’t opt for a heavy moisturiser as it can clog pores and lead to breakouts. The Simple Daily Skin Detox Ultra Light Liquid Moisturiser contains skin-loving ingredients like zinc, thyme and witch hazel. It moisturises the skin without clogging the pores.

 

Sunscreen

Sunscreen

The last yet most important thing you need before stepping out is a broad-spectrum sunscreen. This one product can do so much for your skin. The harmful rays of the sun damage your skin like no other, the sooner you start using sunscreen, the better. The Lakme Sun Expert Spf 50 Pa+++ Ultra Matte Gel Sunscreen is a lightweight, non-sticky formula that blocks up to 97% harmful UVB sun rays.
