Three Tips for Helping Your Daughter Feel Comfortable in Her Own Skin(Literally)
Posted by LUV UR SKIN on March 18th, 2019
When it comes to helping your daughter feel comfortable in her own skin, one should first look to ways to enhance her natural beauty. The best advice you could probably give starts with a simple question: How should she take care of her skin? The following three tips could help facilitate a conversation about proper skincare to help your daughter feel truly comfortable in her own skin (literally).
1. Stress the Importance of Taking Care of Her Skin While She’s Young
Upon puberty, hormones go into overdrive, and skin has a tendency to get oily and more acne-prone. Pimples form when pores get clogged with oil produced by your skin called sebum. Sebum is needed to keep your skin moisturized and healthy, but an overproduction of it can cause acne.
To prevent breakouts or clear them up as quickly as possible, encourage your daughter to gently wash her face once in the morning and once at night. Let her know it’s important to not over-wash her face or scrub aggressively because it can irritate her sensitive skin. Suggest a face wash for kids, tweens, and teens that is specifically designed to remove oiliness, environmental grime, and even makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils. The best formula will use natural ingredients to effectively and gently cleanse skin.
Tip: Though she might be tempted, let your daughter know she shouldn’t try to pop any pimples. Doing so can lead to scarring and can further irritate the skin. Instead encourage her to use a mask one to two times a week as an at-home spa treatment to aid her skin.
2. Help Her Develop a Healthy Skincare Regimen
Having your daughter keep her skin clean by cleansing her face twice a day is the first step in creating a healthy skincare routine. The next step is to use a natural moisturizer for face after every washing. Look for a daily moisturizer that hydrates skin without clogging the pores. A lightweight face moisturizer should leave her skin feeling soft, hydrated, and nourished.
A quality facial moisturizer for tween and teen skin will use natural ingredients to lock in moisture while being effective for all skin types—including sensitive skin. The best products will contain rosehip and ginger root extracts as well as Plantolin® Extract in their formulas to hydrate, nourish, and soothe the skin while reducing inflammation.
3. Teach Her to Be Mindful of What She’s Putting on Her Face
As your daughter establishes a skincare routine, teach her to also be mindful about the ingredients in the formulas of her face wash, moisturizer, and other items. She should know exactly what’s in the products she is using. She’s already making decisions about what is and isn’t good for her, so it makes sense for her to choose natural, healthy skincare products that are designed with tween and teen skin in mind. Not all skincare products are created equal, so be sure to stress the importance of reading labels, visiting a company’s website, reading their mission statement, and things of that nature. It’s important to look beyond just branding to make sure she’s putting quality, safe products on her face.
As they say: Healthy skin today is healthy skin tomorrow. Teaching your daughter good skincare habits today will set her up for a lifetime of healthy skin.
