Tips to Help Your Skin Glow
-
Wash Your Face Every Morning and Night
Our skin goes through a lot daily. The environment has a massive impact on your skin, but washing your face will prevent you from any harm it could cause. Cleansing takes off any dirt and oil that can accumulate on your skin.
If you deal with acne, washing your face will help eliminate any blemishes and prevent them in the future. We have the perfect cleanser for any 14-year-old skincare routine. Try our T-blast Foaming Cleanser for oily skin or our Gentle Skin Cleanser for dry and sensitive tween skincare. For more info on how to get to know your skin type, check out this post.

Take off Your Makeup at Night
At 14, you’re probably starting to express yourself more and learn who you really are. For some people, expressing themselves means wearing makeup. If some luscious eyelashes or rosy cheeks make you feel like your best self, rock that full face of makeup! However, make sure you remove it before going to bed at night. Do you think makeup artists like James Charles go to bed with glittery eyelids? They definitely don’t, because sleeping with makeup on is a skincare sin!
Your skin rejuvenates itself at night, and if you have makeup on, your pores will get clogged, and your skin won’t be able to do its job. Contrary to popular belief, a cleanser actually doesn’t remove all your makeup on its own. It would be best to use a makeup remover before you go in with the rest of your tween skincare products.
-
Drink Lots of Water
When you forget to drink water all day, you probably start to feel dehydrated. Your skin actually feels the effects of dehydration, too. Water replenishes your face and brings natural, healthy oils to the surface. When your skin lacks hydration, it could get dry, leading it to produce excess oil or break out. Some other reasons you should be drinking water for your 14-year-old skincare are:
- prevents premature aging
- prevents acne
- heals dry, itchy skin
- faster healing for things like acne and sunburns
If all those reasons weren’t convincing enough: soda drinkers, pay attention to this one. Drinking sugary things like soda can clog your pores, leading to acne and oily skin. So, grab a cute water bottle and fill it up!
-
Moisturize Your Skin
Oh no! You have already finished your eight glasses of water for the day, but your skin still feels super dry. What should you do? When you’re doing your tween skincare routine, put on some moisturizer after you finish washing your face. No matter what type of skin you have, moisturizer is essential to keep your skin thriving. We have a gentle moisturizer for our readers with sensitive skin and a calming one for people experiencing dry skin and acne.
