11 year old with slightly greasy skin, should she be using a face wash ?

[LardLizard]

She used to just wash her face with just water and had perfect skin the way young children do

Now she’s 11 it’s started to get a bit greasier, and a few tiny spots starting to appear
Only a tiny amount of tiny bump like spots
Not big red ones

So thinking. About telling her she should be using a face wash

But paranoid about her drying out her skin
As I remember using clearasil as a preteen poss teen and it made my skin go so dry n red and worse

Maybe get her a really gentle cleanser from la Roche Posay for example. I think the effaclar range is for oily skin. Or even something from Nivea or Simple.

I was thinking of just getting something for normal skin so it’s not too drying ?

Oh I was going to start a similar thread for my 10 yo DS. Watching with interest

Maybe try changing her diet. Is she eating a lot of sugary foods?

Don't use anything with salicylic acid yet, something for normal skin would be good

DS1 has hit puberty and is a bit oily and spotty, so we bought La Roche Posay's Effaclar and it's done wonders for his skin. He's so happy with the results and is independently choosing to look after his skin now (and at Boots they have 25% off).

No she doesn’t really have much sugary stuff
Not sure I believe it down to diet it must be hormones as it’s only just started and there’s been no change in diet

My 11yr old uses Lush coal face soap.
