Also, when washing your face, you do not need to use soap: skin person in normal condition have an acidic reaction, and any soap contains an alkali. Its frequent use when washing your face destroys a thin protective fatty film, changes the acid balance of the skin and creates conditions for the penetration and development of various pathogenic bacteria. As they grow older, special tools are added.

By the time puberty begins, skin care needs to be given more attention. At the age of 12-13, it is advisable to visit a cosmetologist's office in order to correctly determine the type of skin and get professional advice.

A visit to a beautician as a teenager can significantly reduce the stress experienced by young people from the appearance problems that inevitably appear with hormonal surges. It is best to choose a specialist who is not just aimed at recruiting professional tools and on A complex approach to beauty and health

Visit to the beautician

And for oily and even more problematic, a complex combination of salon and home care will be required. Do not forget - the earlier you visit a professional, the easier and more effective the help will be. It cannot be said unequivocally that the first visit to a beautician should be at 12 or 13 years old. Need salon care in each case is individual and depends on the characteristics of the child's development.

The arsenal of specialists has various procedures... There are programs specifically for young patients. V modern cosmetology both traditional and innovative methods care for problem skin... Most Popular:

If hygienic cleaning of problem skin is rarely carried out, and in addition, it is also started late, then the pores may enlarge. If you resort to it often, 2-3 times a month, then the activation of the selection is possible. sebum.

Teens and cosmetics - pros and cons

Modern 12-13-year-old girls are already using lipstick, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara and foundation with might and main. They want to look stylish and trendy. Most mothers believe that "plaster" at this age is not needed and even hurts. Are they right? Really, overuse decorative cosmetics in young age far from harmless. It worsens the condition of the skin, causes allergies, conjunctivitis. Any decorative products for the face must first of all be of high quality.

But girls at the age of 12-13 should already use cosmetics for daily care. But you need to be able to use it correctly. Let's take a look at the most common mistakes:

1. Wrong choice of funds. Each type of facial skin has its own cosmetics. It's hard for girls to determine the type on their own. They begin to use comedogenic drugs on the advice of their girlfriends, which further aggravate the problems.
2. Using unsuitable creams. Mom's creams in beautiful packages, even very expensive ones, are absolutely not intended for young girls... They not only will not help, but can even harm. It is advisable to discuss the contents of a cosmetic bag for teenagers with a specialist.
3. Tone cream. We do not argue, he hides defects. But a number tonal means forms an airtight film, preventing the skin from breathing. This is especially unsafe when acne... Only breathable foundation should be used. It is produced by many large firms... The most widely represented in Russia by the brands Vichy and L'Oreal.
4. Incomplete facial cleansing. Decorative cosmetics must first be removed with special milk, and only then washed. Simple washing does not completely cleanse.

Young girls love cosmetics, because it can give their youthful beauty extra charm. However, this only works if correct use decorative means. It is better to leave a dense foundation and defiant make-up for an adult period of life, and emphasize your current charm with a barely noticeable shine, delicate shadows, a weightless cream with a toning effect.

Home care - what is it?

Consider the ingredients of home skin care at 12-13 years old. It consists of three stages:

• Stage 1. Purification.
• Stage 2. Humidification.
• Stage 3. Protection.

Cleansing must be done twice a day - in the morning and before bedtime. Cleansing begins with washing with boiled or mineral water, which has room temperature... Too hot or vice versa cold water may increase sebum secretion. As noted above, we also do not use soap. A 13-14 year old girl should already know and be able to use cleansers: foams, gels, mousses. The face is gently blotted with a napkin. And the important final stage begins - we wipe it with lotion or tonic, of your choice. The use of lotions serves two purposes: final cleansing and moisturizing.

Many mothers think that additional hydration at this age is completely unnecessary. Indeed, teenage skin does not look dehydrated. But this is only at first glance. In summer, the sun's rays are affected, in winter due to the operation of heating batteries, air humidity is lowered. Already from 12-13 years old it is necessary to competently take care of your skin, and it will keep its freshness for a long time.

Do I need to use a cream?

Contrary to the opinion of some mothers, a cream is necessary at a young age. But you just need to select it depending on the age and type of facial skin. For the problematic there are special creams produced by many manufacturers: Avene, Vichy, Clearasil other. It is necessary to carefully study the composition. Cream for teenagers should contain:

5 important rules for choosing funds

• It should be designed specifically for a young age;
• The composition should contain only natural ingredients;
• Check the skin for sensitivity, at the age of 12-14 it is often increased;
• Try to purchase several products from the same collection at the same time;
• Buy quality proven products from well-known manufacturers.

The best option for the skin - the choice of a whole line of products from one manufacturer. In this case, they will complement each other and will not cause allergic reaction

And finally, a few tips for correct application creams:

• before going to bed, be sure to wash, because the remnants of mascara, shadows, tonal and dirt can cause inflammation of the skin and the formation of acne;
• before applying the cream, the face should be cleaned with special compounds;
• the regularity, application technique and time of day must be observed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions;
• lightly blot non-absorbed residues with a napkin;
• a lot does not mean better and more efficiently, use optimal amount funds.

Moms must teach their daughters in the very early age take care of your appearance, look beautiful, apply makeup correctly, and then be able to correctly remove it. Of course, all this must be done taking into account the age of the little lady. Moderation will do no harm.

   Special skin care

   1. Use the scrub once a week. You don't have to exfoliate your skin every day; it will only cause more irritation. Instead, use a scrub 1-2 times a week to remove dead cells and make the skin softer. You can make a scrub yourself or buy it at a store. Simply wet your skin, apply to your fingertips and massage for a minute. Then wash off with warm water.

      • For home scrub mix sugar and honey.

   2. Apply face masks 2-4 times a week. There are different types of masks and their effects. They can rid your skin of toxins, unclog pores, and remove dead cells and dirt. If you use masks more often 2-4 times a week, your skin may become dry. To apply the mask, wet your face and apply the mask with your fingertips. Spread over the entire face, let dry for 20-30 minutes (until it ceases to be viscous). Rinse off with water and dry your face with a warm tissue.

      • You can also apply the mask on top of pimples. Apply on inflammation and leave overnight. Wash your face in the morning, the redness will diminish.
      • Very popular mud masks, there are also many different types of them.

   • Use 5-step care. Namely: cleansing, exfoliation, toning, moisturizing and protection. Dermatologists have conducted studies that have shown that women who follow these steps have beautiful, clean, and healthy skin.

   Warnings

   • Urban myth says that if you do not apply sunscreen then you can get rid of acne, as the sun dries up the fats. However, it is not. This works in the same way as frequent washing. The drier the skin, the more actively it tries to recover, producing additional fats. Plus, without sunscreen, you increase your risk of skin cancer. Always apply sunscreen on light texture in summer.
   • Make sure no product used on your skin is causing you allergies. If your skin is sensitive, test a small area of ​​your face to make sure there is no irritation or rash.
   • This treatment may not be suitable for one type of skin or another (oily or dry). The article presents only the basic steps, but you must develop your regime yourself. Consult a dermatologist.
   • Remember that in reality the skin does not look like the picture. Redness, acne, oily sheen and dryness are normal and natural phenomena... Photos are often processed in Photoshop. Find out which is best for you, as all skin types are different. Remember, your skin is a reflection of your health. Live a healthy life and you will see desired result on your face.

Powder

Dermatologists and cosmetologists believe that the best option for young skin is mineral powder. This product does not clog pores, evens out the complexion and hides redness. In addition, thanks to its light texture, it allows the skin to breathe. Instead of a compact compressed powder, for young skin it is better to choose a crumbly option. It adheres evenly to the skin without creating a mask effect.

Cosmetics for teenage skin must have sun filters, since ultraviolet light is a serious test for delicate skin. It is good if the powder contains titanium dioxide, as it protects the skin from the influence sun rays... Annabelle Minerals offers an option to meet these requirements.
