It is a busy time, from back to school, to football games, to starting a new year. We understand all of these exciting times in your life. As things ramp up, typically self care gets put on the back burner. As we offer a student discount at Hair Etc. Salon and Spa, we tend to see a lot of tweens coming in when they are frustrated with their skin and need professional help.
It is important to understand common issues with your skin, especially at a young age. From preventative care, to implementing a daily skincare routine, an understanding of your skin can prevent more problems.
Common Skin Issues in Tweens:
Acne and Breakouts:
Problem: Hormonal changes can lead to an increase in oil production, resulting in clogged pores and acne breakouts. Maybe you are sweating more at school, you touch your face all the time while sitting in class, etc. There are really a multitude of things that could be causing your skin to become irritated, which then leads to it breaking out. Our estheticians will assess the severity of your acne, and help fix the problem areas.
Solution: Our Facials include gentle cleansing to remove excess oil and impurities without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. We use exfoliation to unclog pores and prevent future breakouts, and soothing masks to reduce inflammation and redness. Incorporating ingredients like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can help to combat acne effectively.
Oiliness:
Problem: Tweens often experience oily skin due to overactive sebaceous glands, leading to a shiny complexion and potential for acne. As stated before, there can also be underlying issues, such as the makeup you are using, or not being equipped with the right products.
Solution: We balance oil production with gentle, oil-free moisturizers and mattifying treatments. Ingredients like niacinamide and clay masks help to control excess oil and keep the skin matte throughout the day.
Sensitivity:
Problem: The skin of young adolescents can be more sensitive and reactive, requiring gentle and appropriate skincare products. It is an inbetweener time because you want to use the correct products on your skin, however, you don't want to use too strong of a product that could potentially burn or strip your skin of its natural oils.
Solution: Our Tween Facial uses mild, hypoallergenic products to soothe and protect sensitive skin. Calming ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile are incorporated to reduce irritation and inflammation.
