Caption: Teenage skincare routines: Everything you need to know. Consultant Dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto has revealed what a teenage skincare routine should look like. “As a Consultant Dermatologist, I feel it is essential to emphasise that a 13-year-old's skincare routine should prioritise basic hygiene, rather than unnecessary complexity.” According to the expert, teenagers should start with a cleanser. ”Firstly, I would recommend cleansing twice daily, coupled with the use of a suitable moisturiser designed for oily or combination skin - this forms a good solid foundation to work from,” Given the hormonal fluctuations typical in teenagers, which may lead to oily or blemish-prone skin, the incorporation of cleansers that contain mild actives like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can be beneficial. Additionally, for adolescents engaging in outdoor sports between March and October in the U.K., the inclusion of a sunscreen with a factor of 30-50 on all exposed areas is advisable. The expert points out that teens should avoid using any anti-ageing products. “Something I feel quite strongly about is discouraging the adoption of intricate anti-ageing routines that involve actives like vitamin C, retinoids and other exfoliating acids.” "Teenagers are sometimes overly concerned about premature ageing. I recently saw a 14-year-old in (the) clinic who was concerned about crow's feet. She had undoubtedly been influenced by social media and influencers.” Dr Mahto also notes that it is not usually necessary for teenagers to use gender-specific or expensive and elaborate products and it is not a good idea to keep switching between different formulations.
