A simple skin routine: three steps

You don't need ten products. Clean, moisturise and protect from the sun.

3 min

The long routines you see on social media aren't needed for teen skin, and sometimes do harm.

Three steps

  • Clean: wash your face morning and night with a mild cleanser.
  • Moisturise: use a light cream, even if your skin is oily.
  • Protect: wear SPF 30 or higher during the day.

What to avoid

  • Don't squeeze spots, because they can scar.
  • Don't use toothpaste, because it irritates skin.
  • Don't use strong adult acids or retinol without a doctor's advice.
  • Always take off make-up before bed.

Test any new product on the inside of your arm first.
