My tips would be buy a good product with good reviews on the treatment of acne, buy a concealer for the worst days, and promote a good skincare routine from high school onwards.

I would give them the self confidence they need to equip them with the transition from child to teen - praising, always talking and more importantly listening to their worries, dreams and inner demons. I would also make sure I had good skincare products in the bathroom for when breakouts occur.

Remind them that you had this too and it's a phase. Encourage good diet and plenty of water. Spend time talking to them to boost self confidence. Remind them social media is false and people put on a front. Make a doc appointment if necesssary.

Working on self esteem and confidence from and early age is really important to give children the best chance of becoming resilient young people. Hopefully this helps them to deal with any acne breakouts

Allow them to try a variety of products and take their concerns seriously.
