Tween Skin 101:Taking Care of Pimples the Natural Way
So, you’ve noticed a few little pimples popping up, maybe some shiny spots on your forehead or nose? 🤔 Welcome to the tween skin stage! This is when your skin starts changing because of hormones, and that can mean blackheads, pimples, or an oily T-zone (that’s your forehead, nose, and chin).
The good news? 🎉 You don’t need a ton of products to look after your skin—you just need a simple, gentle routine.
Why Your Skin is Changing 🌀
- 🧪 Your skin is growing up: Your oil glands are waking up and making more sebum (oil).
- ⚡ Clogged pores = pimples: Oil and dead skin cells can block pores, which makes blackheads or whiteheads.
- 🌸 Sensitive stage: Tween skin is more delicate than teen or adult skin, so you need extra-gentle products.
Natural Ingredients Your Skin Will Love 🌿
🌟 Jojoba Oil ✨
Think of this one as being your best mate 👯. It’s super close to the oil your skin naturally makes, so it helps balance things out without clogging pores.
🌟 Jojoba Beads 💎
These are tiny, smooth, natural beads that gently scrub away dead skin. They’re way kinder than harsh scrubs and help keep pores clear (bye-bye blackheads 👋).
🌼 Calendula Oil 💛
This is like a calming hug 🤗 for your skin. If your face feels red or irritated, calendula helps soothe it. It’s excellent for sensitive skin and conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
✨ Vitamin E 🥑
Helps your skin heal faster and keeps it strong 💪. It’s great for when a pimple finally goes away but leaves a little mark.
Should You Scrub Every Day? 🚫
Nope! Scrubbing every day is too much for tween skin.
- 🌿 Face oil (like jojoba or rosehip oil): Yes, you can use a few drops daily—it hydrates without making you oily.
- 💎 Scrubs with jojoba beads: Just once or twice a week. That’s enough to keep your pores clear.
