What is a good skin care routine for a young teenager?
I’m 13 years old and I live in Australia. I have combination skin and get minor blackheads, whiteheads and blemishes around and on my nose. Sometimes I might get them on my chin or forehead. I need a good skin care routine that has three steps (cleanse, tone, moisturise) that is gentle and won’t burn or irritate my skin. Can you help? Please list names of products and brands. No homemade remedies or recipes, just products I can purchase at Coles or Priceline. Thanks.
kk, first of all i might mention that you really only need a toner if your skin needs an extra clean or is oily which you do but usually a cleanser does the job. I have the same skin as you and this is what i use: i have two cleansers, at night i use Benzac AC wash, at frst that will burn and make your skin peel but mine soon got used to so if you want stay away from it, its about $15 and you can get it at any chemist or priceline. The morning cleanser i use and i stand by it for our skin its Formula 10.0.6 cleanser and its so gentle and makes your skin less oily right away. i dont own a toner myself but id try formula 10.0.6 aswell for that. for my moisturiser im currently using cliniques stuff so its abit pricey but i used to use Olay Complete Defence Moisturiser, which is great for sensitive skin and if your just starting out plus it has spf.
Now the other stuff i use i swear has helped clear me up and its St Ives Blackhead and Blemish Control, it will help remove your blackheads, use it every three nights. Another i use after i use the blackhead control is a mudmask, i use Formula 10.0.6 mudmask in the orange container and im soon going to use the one in the green and its for oily skin, its so good and really removes imputities. i also use a spot treatment from formula 10.0.6
Just thought id mention Formla 10.0.6 is really cheap too and its good cause it works, its at priceline. ill get links up for all products ive mentioned.

My favorite line that is available at the drugstore is Neutrogena. I’m 17 now and I sttarted using that brand when I was your age.
So here are the three products that you should use:
Cleanser: Deep Clean Invigorating Daily Cleanser
Toner: Neutrogena Pore Defining Toner
Moisturizer: Neutrogena Oil Free daily MoistureFor Combination Skin
All of those can be found on this website so that you know what they look like:

I use to wash my face 3-4 times a day to make sure that the skin is clean and clear. I also use ayurvedic spice body scrub to get rid of dead skin. Apricot almond face mask (http://www.veria.com/newsletter/chandra/chandra.html) is another thing which is helpful to get me glowing skin. Just know your skin type and match it with the skin care product you are to buy. It is important to pick the right skin care products to keep your skin healthy and young.
