You realize that your baby girl is in fact no longer a baby when…she starts going on group dates with her friends…she prefers perfume over cologne…she’s overly conscious of her skin. Yes, mom, you’re now officially living with a tweenager!
What you’ll most notice about your tween is the physical transformation that she undergoes. All of a sudden, she seems taller and leaner. And when it comes to skin, you’ll notice that your tween’s skin will manifest adult-like skin problems, such as acne, flakiness or irritation. That’s why it’s important that you help your tween design a routine that’s simple and gentle enough to maintain every day. To encourage healthy skincare habits, here are some easy tween tips to follow.
Clean it baby!
It wouldn’t come as a surprise if your tween has started experimenting with your facial wash already. While it may seem harmless, it can in fact cause havoc on her skin! Tweens shouldn’t be using anything other than a gentle cleanser. Read labels carefully to make sure that the facial wash you’ll get her is gentle and hypoallergenic. And unless your tween has been active in after-school sports or other activities where she has become sweaty or visibly dirty, she needs only to wash her face once.
Terramycin , A Wound Care Must Have!
This is the season in your tween’s life that she begins to discover the world of sports and outdoor activities. Whether she decides to join the track and field team or the girls’ soccer club, educating her on proper wound care with Terramycin Plus (Polymyxin B Sulfate + Bacitracin Zinc + Neomycin Sulfate) Antibacterial Ointment is a must! Terramycin Plus fights infection from the surface to the inside. It penetrates 25 layers of skin to make sure that all-known infection-causing bacteria are killed. Superior protection, fast healing while minimizing scarring only with Terramycin Plus!
Shampoo away!
Irritation on your tween’s face can be trigged by different factors, one of which would be her dirty hair. So make sure that her hair is regularly washed to avoid irritations and pimples from breaking-out!
Go Natural!
While this may be the chapter in your tween’s life that she begins to ransack your make-up kit, do discourage her from wearing one this early. A tween’s skin is very sensitive and is prone to break-outs and rashes. So keep her face make-up free and let her natural beauty radiate through her clear and clean skin!
