Skincare fora teenage girl that’s easy and not £££

[ihatethecold]

My DD15 has a facial at a Dermatologica counter the other day.
It was very good but I do feel the products are expensive for a teenager.
She has an oily T zone but apparently a dehydrated face elsewhere.
She does get black heads but minimal spots.

She usually uses miceller water and not much else to take a full face of make up off

She needs a cleanser and moisturiser for starters.

I have drier skin so my products are more oil based.

Was thinking maybe LRP but don’t know which ones.

Any ideas or recommendations please for any products?

Superdrug. Their own brand products are brilliant, and cruelty free.

Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser from Superdrug - teach her to double cleanse. It's around £5 but often on BOGOF or similar.

Rose water, not micellar water. I use Boots one with glycerin, it's around £3.

A nice light moisturiser that suits her, I genuinely believe it's so important to moisturise but at her age, less so about an amazing brand, just that she is doing it.

Hope that helps!

I've used all sorts for my teens skin. The best thing I've come across is Pixi Glow Tonic. It's £18 though, but the bottle has lasted and lasted. They've had the dermalogica teen range and it was OK, bit I think the Pixi is better.

They used a face wash (currently nip and Fab) and follow with the Pixi. I think it won the Vogue teen skincare award recently.

Avene extremely gentle cleanser and LRP toleriane moisturiser. You could also get one of the thermal water sprays to spritz on after cleansing and before moisturiser, lrp, avene, and Vichy all do them

The loreal Fine Flowers milk cleanser is as good as any i've had and cheap. Agree with double cleansing with an oil or balm. The Body Shop camomile oil cleanser is quite good.

If she's not already using flannels, get those cheap from primark.

Thanks for the replies. I have lots of cloths from me buying LE and other hot cloth cleansers.

Why rose water instead of miceller water @Aceinthehole?

I guess I would just think it's slightly more natural, and cheaper for her given your thread title and will do the same job, if not better. Just keep it simple I think, less chemicals, less irritation. I'm no expert though, this is just what I find has worked best for my skin.

Thanks Ace

All I can recommend is lush ultra bland face wash. I use this and nothing else and it has sorted my skin the fuck out. I have had terrible skin since I was 13, acne but also extremely sensitive eczema prone skin so couldn't even use any proper acne products.

I couldn't get on with Ultrabland. It was so thick and gloopy, and felt like lard. The Bodyshop Camomile cleansing butter is much better, and melts on contact.

Mario Badescu products are popular with my teens. The moisturisers last ages.
