GIVE KIDS A HEAD START...

ACNE SKIN CARE OROVILLE, CA

Teaching your kids good skin care habits may prevent breakouts and helps them have healthier skin later in life. Give kids a head start - get them in the habit of cleansing their face and applying sunscreen everyday.

Their skin care routine should be done along with brushing their teeth and hair. A gentle cream cleanser is best for the prepubescent years. Once their hormones start kicking in, watch for skin changes. If they begin developing larger pores and oilier skin, have them cleanse their face every morning and every night with a gentle gel cleanser. Oilier skin requires a sunscreen that is lightweight, oil free, and noncomedogenic (non-pore clogging).

If they develop a dry skin type, they can stick to cleansing once in the evening with a cream cleanser, but they may also need a moisturizer. There are many professional broad spectrum sunscreens that provide extra moisture. This helps keep the number of steps minimal.

If you need help with skin typing or selecting skin care products, schedule an evaluation with a skin care professional. This will allow them to get a head start on any potential problems that may be lurking below the skin's surface!
