Cosmetics for teenagers: types and choices

Nowadays, cosmetics begin to be used already in adolescence and this applies not only to care lines. Girls use their first mascara, lipstick, nail polish at the age of 11-14. Of course, I want my daughter not to feel like a “black sheep” among her girlfriends, but the first cosmetics should not harm very young skin. Therefore, before buying, it is worth knowing the types and basic principles of choosing cosmetics for teenagers.

In the transitional age, the adolescent's body undergoes certain changes associated with hormonal changes. Changes affect the child's skin, hair, nails. During this period, there is increased work of the sebaceous glands, which makes the skin unnecessarily oily and porous... An excessive amount of fatty secretions clogs the pores, deprives the skin of the ability to breathe fully, as a result pimples appear on the face, and acne appears.

To avoid the appearance of acne and minimize inflammation in the pores, adolescents need to use a variety of anti-inflammatory drugs on a daily basis. Such a tool performs several functions at once, namely:

• regulates, normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands;
• narrows pores;
• restores complexion;
• works as an antiseptic;
• moisturizes and nourishes the skin;
• removes acne, blackheads;
• resolves pustular formations;
• protects from the negative influence of the external environment;
• fights blackheads on the face.

Care cosmetics should be selected strictly for a specific skin type, taking into account the problem that has arisen. In the presence of a large number of acne, pustular pimples, acne, blackheads the product should have a stronger disinfectant and drying effect... During adolescence, the skin is most often combination or oily. Normal or dry skin occurs in only a third of adolescents.

For teenage girls it is better to choose cream of a famous brand, time-tested. Many cosmetic companies produce a variety of teen beauty products to address all of the above concerns.
