Establishing a healthy skin care routine early on can help pre-teens maintain clear, vibrant skin while instilling lifelong habits of self-care and hygiene.

Puberty is a time of immense change for youngsters, both physically and emotionally. While navigating the hormonal roller coaster, it's important to remember that their skin also requires special care and attention. In this blog post, we explore the impact of puberty on skin health, and offer practical tips to help your child establish a nurturing skincare routine.

1. Cleanse Well:
   Your teen may be experimenting with makeup, playing more sports and staying out till late, all of which can take a toll on your skin if you don't deep-clean it well. Cleansing thoroughly at night, or doubling down if you're getting super sweaty or dirty during the day too is essential. YELLE’s Fresh Start Milk and Honey Cleanser is gentle enough to protect your child’s developing skin but powerful enough to erase the toxins from the day.
2. Combating Body Odor and Sweat:
   As sweat glands become more active, body odor and sweat become more prominent. Encourage your child to maintain a healthy grooming regimen, especially during warm weather. Sweat can clog skin pores, so we want to make sure your child is maintaining a good routine at home.
3. Treating Acne:
   Acne is a common issue during puberty due to overactive glands and excess sebum production. Encourage your child to avoid picking at acne, maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, stay hydrated, and use plant-based face ingredients in their skincare routine to avoid adding chemical toxins to their skin. YELLE’s Fresh Start Mattify and Blemish Away Masks were developed to help support the hormonal imbalance that puberty offers tweens and teens. By mattifying your skin and controlling oil production, you can see a major difference in adolescence acne. 
4. Emphasizing Hand Hygiene:
   Proper hand hygiene is crucial for preventing the spread of germs and bacteria, including those that contribute to skin issues. Teach your child to wash their hands frequently and regularly clean their gadgets to avoid germ build-up which ultimately helps avoid breakouts and acne. Set a good example by implementing proper personal hygiene practices like family wash days, or spa days. 

Conclusion:
Puberty marks a significant period of change for youngsters, and their skin and hair require extra care and attention during this time. By establishing a nurturing skincare routine that prioritizes natural, chemical-free products and healthy habits, we can guide our children toward maintaining optimal skin health. Engage in open conversations about these changes and encourage them to embrace natural and organic alternatives for the benefit of their well-being, future generations, and the environment.
