How to Take Care of Teenage Skin

Teenage life is like a rollercoaster ride. Balancing your social life and studies, your new-found freedom, dating, work, and gushing hormones… it can sometimes feel like too much to handle, right? Then comes another problem – skincare. Below are some basic tips to help you or your teenager tackle these skincare woes.

Always Cleanse

A gentle cleanser is crucial for any basic regimen, especially if you’re active, playing sports, etc. The trick is to cleanse both morning and night with an exfoliating element, because as teens are becoming adults, they will produce a lot of pore clogging elements, even while sleeping. Whether you have acne, oily, dry, or sensitive skin; Body Merry’s gentle exfoliating cleansers will get the job done!

Spot Treat

Teens often struggle with frustrating and unpredictable acne due to hormones. Fortunately, Body Merry offers a Spot On Blemish Soother to help skin recover faster. With ingredients like cinnamon extract and zinc oxide, redness and inflammation that come with breakouts can be soothed while your skin recovers. Along with fighting pimples, this spot cream also helps to reduce dark spots that can be associated with past breakouts or even scars.

Moisturizing is Key

After cleansing and treating any acne, it’s time to revitalize with a complimentary moisturizer that suits your skin type to lock in the moisture. Body Merry offers a great acne fight moisturizer, the Retinol Surge Moisturizer, delivering an optimal amount of retinol which delivers a swell of daily moisture the face craves while helping stave off any unwanted acne.

SPF!!

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: You’re never too young to add SPF into your skincare after moisturizing to prevent aging, early on. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher is recommended. Toss the product in your backpack so that you can reapply as needed, especially if you’re sweating (which we bet you do in gym class!). In addition to applying and reapplying sunscreen, you should also bound your amount of time in the sun (especially during peak hours between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.), seek shade, and cover up bare areas.

Body Merry’s newest product set to launch (very soon!) is the SPF 50 Sunscreen Cream! If you’d like to know as soon as it’s available, please click here.
