1. Pyunkang Yul - Deep Cleansing Oil

If you've got a tween in the house dealing with sneaky clogged pores, or perhaps they're a fan of face painting adventures, then you're about to discover a skincare secret that's both practical and fun.

Enter the world of oil cleansers! These magical elixirs are like a gentle wave of freshness for the skin.

No need for harsh scrubbing – oil cleansers are the superheroes of gentleness. Our top pick? The Pyun gkang Yul Deep Cleansing Oil. It's not only super effective at cleansing but also incredibly kind to the skin.

Here's the best technique: Apply the oil cleanser using light, soothing circular motions. Remember, be extra gentle, especially around those delicate under-eye areas. Enjoy a luxurious 1–3 minute massage, add a smidge of water, and continue with the gentle caresses for another 30 seconds to a minute. Finish off with a refreshing rinse of lukewarm water.

2. Beauty of Joseon - Low pH Rice Face and Body Cleansing Bar

Let's think of your daily skincare routine as a well-coordinated dance. First, your oil-based cleanser takes the lead, gracefully wiping away dirt and grime. Then, in comes the water-based cleanser to make sure nothing is left behind.

Deeply cleansing the skin is key for a great skin care routine. The Beauty of Joseon Low pH Rice Face and Body Cleansing Bar is our top cleanser pick because of its gentle formulation that makes it suitable for teens, tweens and even babies!

3. Purito - Oat-in Silky Toner

The next recommendation we have for tweens is the Purito Oat-in Silky Toner. This is a 2-in-1 skin care product, making it super easy to apply and depending on your skin type it will act as not only a toner but as a cream too!

Thanks to the cutting-edge Ultra-fine Emulsion Technology, the Oat-in Silky Toner has a milky texture that loves to hug your skin. It locks in moisture, just like a cream, leaving your face feeling refreshed with a lovely dewy finish.

4. Pyunkang Yul - Kids & Baby Face Lotion

When it comes to skincare routines for tweens and teenagers, it's important to understand that different skin types have different needs. While some individuals with oily skin may find enough moisture from using a toner alone, those with dry or combination skin should consider incorporating a moisturizer into their daily regimen for the best results.

Moisturizers play a crucial role in skincare by providing essential hydration to the skin and helping to retain moisture. Beyond that, they offer additional benefits such as soothing the skin and bolstering its natural barrier.

By applying a moisturizer, you not only replenish moisture lost throughout the day but also create a protective shield that seals in the benefits of previously applied toners, serums, or essences. This step is vital in ensuring that your skin remains radiant, healthy, and resilient.

Our pick on top tween and teen moisturizer is the Pyunkang Yul Kids & Baby Face Lotion. This lotions' consistency is not too thick or thin on the skin when applying, making them suitable for multiple skin types. This one has our vote, because of its clean ingredients, it is minimalistic and also it family safe label.

5. Pyunkang Yul - Kids & Baby Sun Cream

The finishing touch to any skin care routine is sunscreen. Sunscreen is important for all age groups, to protect the skin from sun radiation.

Tween skin is still developing and can be more susceptible to sun damage. The skin is often more sensitive and delicate, which is why using sunscreen is important.

The Pyunkang yul Kids & Baby Sun Cream is our pick, because its gentle formulation makes it family safe while also providing high protection to the skin. This sunscreen also does not cause irritation and sinks quickly into the skin.

SPF isn't just for summer days; it's a year-round essential! Think of sunscreen as your skin's ever-cheerful best friend, ready to support and protect whenever you need it. Whether it's the heat of summer, the chill of winter, or the transitional seasons in between using SPF is key.

What are some tips for teens starting to use skin care?

Figuring out what works best for your skin can be hard. Some tips for finding suitable products are:

1. Test it out first: Aim for minimalist ingredients in products, and always test out your products before applying them all over your face.

2. Be gentle to your skin: That feeling when your face is extra tight, means your skin is drying out, NOT that it's extra clean. It's okay to baby your skin and go for gentle products instead of harsh ones.

3. Avoid harsh facial scrubs: Washing your face with scrubs can damage your skin barrier. A damaged skin barrier increases the chances of infection, breakouts and dehydrated skin.

Navigating the world of skin care can be tough, but with these recommendations and tips we hope your skin care journey can be a little easier. Remember to start with a basic routine and add new products slowly.

Don't forget: it's never too late or early to start showing your skin you care.
