Skincare for tween

6 replies

My 8 year old is a very early developer and has just recently started to have greasy hair and blackheads on her nose.

The hair we can deal with by washing but im unsure how to tackle the skincare, dot want anything too harsh but also dont want her to have 10 years of acne ahead!

Can anyone recommend a cleanser for sensitive tween skin that will help the blackheads but not irritate?

Dermalogica do a range aimed at young people. It's good quality.

Dermalogica is not very good on my skin, some products are harsh, I wouldn't use on a child's skin at all.

Good things is formulated for young skin.

Elemis or Simple. Anything that's gentle and doesn't strip the skin of its natural oils. There's a new range at Space NK by Sam Farmer specifically for young skin.
Here is good advice.

My 9 yr old DD has started to get spots. We use Good Things Fresh Start face wash and neutrogena oil free moisturiser with a tiny amount of tree oil mixed in. We do this twice a week and just use plain water the rest of the time, I was told that they are too young for a daily skincare routine. We have found that this has worked wonders for DD.

If use s rough flannel and warm water, working around the crease of the nose. Baby shampoo with no conditioner for her hair.
