FAQ
WHY DO TWEENS AND TEENS NEED A SKINCARE ROUTINE?
It’s important for tweens and teens to understand that our skin is our body’s first line of defence and is a very important organ that deserves as much care and attention as the rest of our health. Maintaining a healthy barrier function and protecting our skin from UV damage should be top priority every day. As teens begin to experience oily skin and breakouts it's also essential to establish a gentle and balancing routine that helps clear the skin without irritation.
