Morning vs. Night: Crafting a Teen Skincare Routine for All-Day Protection

What’s the easiest way to have clear skin and keep up with your busy schedule? Creating a morning and nighttime skincare routine for teenagers that’s simple and easy to implement regardless of how busy your schedule is. Between getting your homework done each night, keeping up with your friends, and staying on top of your extracurriculars, you’re busy. That’s why we are giving you our best teen skincare tips to create a morning routine that works for your lifestyle.

Morning Skincare Routine: Rise and Shine

• Cleansing

Start the day by washing your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser. This helps remove any impurities that may have accumulated overnight, creating a clean canvas for the subsequent steps. We recommend our Peachy Clean Gel Cleasner designed for teen skin. 

• Moisturizing

Even if your skin tends to be on the oilier side, moisturizing is an essential step to maintain hydration. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to provide the necessary nourishment without clogging pores.

• Sunscreen

In case you haven’t heard, wearing sunscreen every single day is so important to maintaining healthy skin. Look for a sunscreen with an SPF of 30, which works hard to prevent premature aging and reduces the risk of skin cancer.

• Targeted Treatments

We love, love, love our Zit Ain’t Cute Spot Treatment for stubborn breakouts and blackheads. It works hard to combat existing pimples while also fending off future ones. Plus, it’s designed with teenage skin in mind so it won’t cause irritation, dryness, or redness like other products on the market do. 

Nighttime Skincare Routine: Rest and Repair

• Makeup Removal

Step one in any nighttime skincare routine for teens is to always to remove your makeup (if you wear any). This is the simplest way to keep your skin clear and fight breakouts. You can use a gentle makeup remover, micellar water, or cleanser for this first step.

 

• Cleansing

If you don’t use a cleanser to remove your makeup, but instead you opt for a makeup remover wipe, don’t forget to follow up with a cleanser. Washing your face is key to making sure your skin is clean and free from any dirt, build up, toxins, or even makeup that the wipe missed. Again, we love our  Peachy Clean Gel Cleasner for leaving the skin super clean but never stripped or dry.

• Spot Treatment

Next, don’t forget to use a spot treatment on your existing breakouts or any spots where you can see or feel a breakout forming. Our Zit Ain’t Cute Spot Treatment works hard to not only eliminate pimples but also prevent them from forming. 

• Moisturizing

Last but not least is a lightweight moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum to lock in hydration and help you wake up with glowing, healthy skin. 

Creating a morning and nighttime skincare routine tailored to your teenage skin and its need is important to minimize breakouts and boost your confidence. While TikTok and social media might lead you to believe you need trendy products or a complicated routine, what you really need is a simple yet effective skincare routine designed for teenage skin.
