Document 3: Teen Skincare Guide – How to Build a Clear Routine

Title: Clear Skin, Clear Confidence – A Beginner’s Skincare Guide for Teens

Page 1: Introduction – Why Skincare Matters Your skin is your body’s largest organ—and
during your teen years, it can be unpredictable. Hormonal changes can cause breakouts,
oiliness, dryness, and sensitivity. But don’t worry—taking care of your skin doesn’t need to
be complicated or expensive. This guide will walk you through a simple, effective skincare
routine tailored for teens. Whether you’re fighting acne or just want your face to feel fresh,
this is your starting point.
Page 2: Know Your Skin Type – Understand Before You Buy Before using any products,
it's important to identify your skin type. This will help you choose the right cleanser,
moisturizer, and other treatments.

● Oily Skin: Your face looks shiny, especially by midday. You might have larger pores
and be prone to blackheads and pimples.
● Dry Skin: Your face feels tight or rough and may have visible flaking or redness.
● Combination Skin: Oily on your forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone), but dry on your
cheeks.
● Normal Skin: Not too oily, not too dry, and rarely experiences breakouts.

Tip: Clean your face in the morning and observe it for a few hours without applying anything.
This can help you recognize your skin’s natural state.
Page 3: The Basic 3-Step Routine – Cleanse, Moisturize, Protect Every skincare routine
starts with three essential steps:

1. Cleanser: Wash your face twice daily using a gentle cleanser suited for your skin
type. Avoid soaps or harsh scrubs. For oily or acne-prone skin, look for foaming
cleansers with salicylic acid. For dry skin, opt for cream-based or hydrating
cleansers.
2. Moisturizer: Yes, even oily skin needs moisture. Choose a non-comedogenic (won’t
clog pores) moisturizer. Gel moisturizers are great for oily/combination skin, while
cream-based ones help with dry skin.
3. Sunscreen: This is the most skipped step—don’t make that mistake. Sunscreen
(SPF 30+) protects your skin from UV rays that cause premature aging and
hyperpigmentation. Use it daily, even when it's cloudy or you’re indoors with
windows.
Page 4: Optional Add-ons – For Extra Care Once you’ve built your basic routine, you can
add treatments for specific concerns.

● Exfoliation: Use a gentle exfoliator 1–2 times a week to remove dead skin cells and
brighten your complexion. Avoid harsh scrubs with large grains—they can cause
micro-tears in your skin.
● Face Masks: Clay masks help control oil and reduce acne. Hydrating masks with
aloe or hyaluronic acid soothe and moisturize. Use once a week based on your
needs.
● Spot Treatments: Apply directly on pimples. Look for ingredients like benzoyl
peroxide or tea tree oil. Use sparingly and only on affected areas.
● Serums: These are lightweight treatments packed with active ingredients. Vitamin C
serums can brighten skin and reduce dark spots, while niacinamide helps control oil
and improve texture.
Page 5: Daily Habits for Clear Skin – Lifestyle Tips That Matter Great skin isn’t just
about what you put on it. It’s also about how you live.

● Stay Hydrated: Drink 6–8 glasses of water a day to flush out toxins.
● Eat Clean: Limit junk food and sugar. Add fruits, vegetables, and nuts rich in
vitamins.
● Don’t Touch Your Face: Your hands carry bacteria. Keep them off your face to
avoid breakouts.
● Clean Your Phone and Pillowcase: These collect dirt and oils and can transfer
them to your skin.
● Sleep Enough: Get 7–9 hours of sleep per night. Your skin repairs itself while you
rest.
● Manage Stress: Stress can trigger acne. Try journaling, exercise, or deep breathing
to manage it.
Page 6: Common Mistakes to Avoid

● Over-washing your face can strip your skin of natural oils and cause more breakouts.
● Using toothpaste or DIY hacks on pimples can worsen irritation.
● Trying too many new products at once can confuse your skin. Stick to one change at
a time.

Final Thoughts: Skincare is a journey, not a race. Be consistent and patient. Your skin
needs time to adjust to new routines and products. Don’t be discouraged by occasional
breakouts—it’s normal. What matters is that you’re taking care of yourself.
