Teen DS face mask/ blackheads

7 replies

gingerhairthatshetiedinaplait · 26/02/2022 21:40

I don't think his skin is so bad. I'm doing his face with a hot cloth cleanser and moisturiser but he's got some deep blackheads and chin spots.
He wants a face mask/ pack since I mentioned it but I don't use them so not sure what to get or what to do with blackheads!
Any tips?

I think salicylic acid is a better choice for teen skin. Masks that removes blackheads don't seem to be as well regarded as perhaps they were once upon a time. No expert as don't have teens - but vaguely remember nadine baggott talking about it

Masks rip skin off too so definately not a good choice for teen skin. Products with vitamin A and as pps said salicylic acid are your best bet.

Thanks. I wondered if the nose strips and the like we're old hat now.
We've got a serum with that acid in. Maybe need face wash/ cleanser too

Yes s-a cleanser too. Try superdrug - think they have sal acid range or cerave have one too

I bought a gentle Boots own brand tea tree mask that removes blackheads. It’s proven quite popular with teen ds as it lifts away satisfyingly.
His blackheads have improved

@WhiteCatmas was it a peel off one ? Tea tree and cucumber?

Yes I think so! It went down well.
