Teens...Creating Good Skin Care Habits

Are you a teen in need of skin care tips? Then you have come to the right place. Be gentle with your skin. The problem is that many teens falsely believe the stronger the product, the cleaner and clearing the skin will be. This is not true in the least bit. As a teen, we have more skin problems, and our skin is more resilient, but harsher products may be doing more harm than good. If a teen is suffering from acne or various skin irritations. We must introduce our teens to gentle products and the proper cleansing techniques. Proper skin care products for your skin conditions and proper cleansing techniques will result in great skin care routine for years to come.

Skin Care for Teens

As a teen we start to see our skin changing, amongst other bodily changes. With these changes, comes more responsibilities and learning take care of ourselves differently. It takes years for damage to show up on the surface of your skin, therefore it is important to start learning, and practicing, a healthy skin care routine early. According to the International Dermal Institute, teens are unaware that they may be doing serious damage to their skin. If you want to keep your skin glowing for years down the road, we need to start doing things differently to ensure that it does.

Spring is for Prom Season

April not only kicks off the Spring season, but also prom and the season filled with shrieks and cries from girls who are excited to get all dressed up and have fun. All the girls getting together to go find their dresses and help each other find the right one. Having Pinterest Parties to get ideas for hair and makeup. Did you make your appointment for hair and makeup? You do not want the DIY hair and makeup and find that you wished you hired a hair and makeup artist, when you get those pictures back and see that your face look shiny or you hair looks like it always does, but maybe curls, do you? If you are thinking of hiring a hair and makeup artist, you will need to plan at least 2 months in advance, as many artists get booked a year out from referrals from previous years prom girls. As for brides, plan 4 to 6 months prior to your wedding date for the same reason, referrals from previous years brides and bridesmaids.

Spring Break Tanning and SunScreen

Everyone heard about Hugh Jackman and him urging people to wear sunscreen after he has had several growths removed. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer that develops on skin exposed to the sun, such as the head, neck, and back of hands, but is especially common on the face and nose. I see way more sun damaged skin here, than I ever did when I lived and worked in Florida. I do not know why, as it is sunny and warm all year round, but I do not know that most wear sunscreen to protect them from the harmful rays of the sun. However, if you are still trying to get in somewhat of a tan before spring break, and during the winter months, then the best option is airbrush tanning. You will still need to wear that sunscreen while you are out in the sun on spring break, as this tan will not prevent you from still burning, or protect you from those harmful rays.
