Returning to school is an exciting time – new classes, friends, and opportunities. But for many teens, it can also mean breakouts, oily skin, and stress-related flare-ups. Thankfully, with the right skincare routine, you can start the school year looking and feeling your best.
Sarah, the founder at GLO Skin Body, shares her top tips for tackling teen skin using the Dermalogica Clear Start range. Packed with gentle yet effective ingredients, Clear Start is designed to support young skin without irritation.
1. Start with a Clean Slate
Cleansing is key to keeping skin clear and fresh. Use the Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash morning and night to remove dirt, oil, and impurities. It’s tough on breakouts but gentle enough for everyday use – perfect for those busy school mornings.
Tip: Make it part of your routine by keeping it in the shower or by the sink, so it’s always within reach.
2. Hydrate Without the Shine
It’s a myth that oily or breakout-prone skin doesn’t need moisture! Hydration is essential for balancing oil production. The Skin Soothing Hydrating Lotion is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and keeps skin feeling soft without clogging pores.
Tip: Apply after cleansing to lock in hydration and prep your skin for the day ahead.
3. Target Breakouts with Precision
For those pesky pimples that pop up at the worst times (hello, photo day!), the Breakout Clearing Booster is a game-changer. With salicylic acid and niacinamide, it works to calm inflammation and stop spots in their tracks.
Tip: Dab it directly onto breakouts as soon as they appear – it’s small enough to fit in your pencil case!
4. Don’t Skip Sun Protection
Even on cloudy days, UV rays can still affect your skin. The Clearing Defense SPF30 offers lightweight sun protection while mattifying oily areas. It’s perfect for everyday wear and helps prevent dark spots and scarring.
Tip: Make it your last step in the morning before heading out the door.
5. Refresh On-The-Go
Long school days can leave your skin feeling greasy or dull. Keep the Breakout Clearing Pore Mist in your bag for a quick refresh. It controls oil and keeps your skin balanced throughout the day.
Tip: A couple of spritzes after gym class can make all the difference.
6. Be Consistent (But Gentle)
Consistency is more important than perfection when it comes to skincare. Stick to your routine, and give your products time to work. Dermalogica Clear Start is designed to be effective yet gentle, so you don’t need to worry about overdoing it.
Tip: Remember, it’s all about progress, not perfection. Be kind to your skin – it’s doing its best for you!
