9yo DD with bad skin - what to do?!

27 replies

Fillybuster · 20/06/2017 20:23

DD has been getting proper spots for some time already, and gets pretty substantial blackheads on her t-zone too. She washes her face really well (with hot water and clean flannel) twice a day and moisturises with e45 at bedtime. I'm really keen to avoid her becoming too self conscious about her skin, but equally it is starting to bother her.

I've been trying to hold off getting her any "products" but I think it's time....can anyone recommend something super gentle for pre-teen skin please? I definitely don't want her to use paintstripper clearasil yet!!

Thanks in advance for all suggestions Oh Wise Wimmin of MN Flowers

Stop with the e45. You're just clogging her pores up again. Clean face with soap and water and nothing else

Cleanser toner & moisturise day and night, light exfoliater once a week, drink plenty water.

Sounds like she has combination or oily skin, as a beauty therapist some of the brands suggested aren't great! I'd advice dermalogica clear start.
