Teenagers go through a heck of a lot, and the chances are you're post teen years and know exactly what we're talking about, we've all been there. One thing that every teenager experiences is testosterone, oestrogen and progesterone hormonal changes which affects growth, development and mood.
And the most visible sign of these hormonal changes is changes to the skin, and for some they can start from as early as nine-years-old once puberty starts. In many cases this leads to spots, acne and oiliness, and according to The Skin Experts, "rising levels of testosterone can trigger excess sebum production, which is one of the key causes of breakouts and acne."
For teenagers, regular breakouts and acne can be life-changing, but thankfully gone are the days where a bar of soap and some water was enough, and skincare regimes were reserved for those over the age of 25. Today, with scientific and product developments, not to mention our access to skincare information on the web, we now know that once changes in the skin occur, it may be time to start taking care of it.
A three step routine that consists of cleansing, moisturising and applying an SPF is advised and the great news is there are many skincare products which have been designed for teenage skin of all skin types that will provide all three.
To help you in your search for the best teenage skincare products, we've rounded-up some gift sets from well-known brands including Spots & Stripes, Byoma, Balance Me and Nip+Fab.
