Skincare help

Hi all, I’m after some advice please… my poor 11 year old DD has quite bad skin :( I would say her face is on the oily side but she also has quite dry and sensitive skin everywhere else. She already has periods and b00bs, so the hormones can’t be helping. I’ve always been rubbish with facial skin care… I’m pretty lucky and have always had fairly clear skin from just washing my face in the shower with whatever is to hand (I’m sure this is shocking to some! 😂) I am useless with products and what they all do. I don’t want to pressure her into using anything too much, but the kids in class can be horrid if she has a breakout or a particularly large pimple. I think it might help if she had a good basic night time routine, but she’s only 11 and pretty lazy, so it can’t be too complicated! I know not much can be done about the hormones, but it would probably help if her face was properly clean at bedtime, without using products that are too harsh. If anyone can recommend any products and a simple routine I’d be extremely grateful 🙏

Try cerave or avene they are both very gentle. Cleanse in the shower and then a light moisturiser. Also look into an LED light with red abs blue lights. This is chemical free and excellent for acne
