Why a Skincare Routine is Essential
Our kids get exposed to more germs than we can imagine, and if you don't teach them how to clean up and protect their skin, trust us, a heap of dirty laundry would be the least of your problems.
A healthy skincare routine can prevent skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis neglecta, and rashes. Read on for products to include in your child's skincare routine.
Skincare Products for Kids
CLEANSE
Sweat, make-up, germs, and products can clog skin pores. Cleansing the skin unclogs pores and promotes healthier skin. See some of the best cleansers for kids:
EXFOLIATE
Exfoliants remove dead skin cells, making the skin soft, supple, smooth, clean, and healthy.
TONE
Toners clean up the residue lodged deep in the skin that the cleanser couldn't reach. They also hydrate, soothe, and balance the skin's pH.
MOISTURIZE
Moisturizers help your skin look healthier, well-hydrated, and physically appealing. Our TBH™ Kids' Body Lotion is the perfect moisturizer for your child. It naturally hydrates, nourishes, and soothes your child's skin, leaving them feeling clean and fresh.
SPOT TREAT
Spot treatments are an effective way to fight acne. They deliver acne-fighting ingredients to ease redness, pain, and inflammation without drying out the skin or leaving ugly blemishes. To get those pesky pimples off your child's skin, try:
Forming a Skincare Routine
The best way to go about a kids' skincare routine is to have fun!
-
Use catchy songs to teach your toddler how to wash their hands and faces.
-
Make hand motions to show how to use products and add some hide-and-seek action to go with it.
-
Use a fun chart to show your tween how to layer on skincare products and how they help their skin.
-
Set up an engaging PowerPoint presentation to educate your teen on the importance of having a skincare routine.
Here's how to create the perfect skincare routine for your child at any age.
A Skincare Routine Timeline
For Children: The Age of Maddening Rashes
Your go-to products are cleanser, toner, and lotion.
Younger children (ages 2-5) may be more interested in playing with (and maybe eating) dirt and helping you with your cardio, running all over the place. But this is the best age to lay the foundation of a solid skincare routine for your kid.
Routine
Start with a gentle wash like our TBH® Kids' Body Wash and follow up with a soothing and moisturizing lotion like our TBH™ Kids' Body Lotion.
Older children (ages 6-9) are more stable and independent. At this stage, you should help them develop good skincare habits.
Developing a healthy kids' skincare routine for your child at this age sets them up for healthier skin during their teenage and adult years.
Routine
Teach your child a facial routine first. Use our TBH™ Gentle Facial Cleanser Wipes to deep clean your child's pores. Then apply a mild kids' toner to hydrate and restore pH balance on your child's skin. Follow up with our TBH™ Kids' Body Lotion.
For Tweens: The Age of Acne Appearance
Your go-to products are cleanser, toner, lotion, and spot treatments.
Your toddler has grown into a mini-teenager, and at this stage, acne may make its first appearance. But with the perfect routine and diet, your child can make it through their pre-teen and teenage years with clear and healthy skin.
Routine
Gently clean your tween's skin with our TBH™ Gentle Facial Cleanser Wipes and follow up with a mild kids' toner. Apply our TBH™ Kids' Body Lotion to hydrate and nourish their skin. And if your child has any skin conditions, use our Maskne Kit + to treat the affected spots directly.
For Teens: The Age of Even More Acne
Your go-to products are cleanser, exfoliant, toner, serum, lotion, and spot treatments.
You must be intentional about your child's skincare routine at this stage. They have an increased risk of developing skin conditions like angry red pimples that could dampen their self-esteem.
Morning Routine
Our TBH™ Gentle Facial Cleanser Wipes is an excellent cleanser to keep your teen's skin clean and hydrated. Follow it with a soothing and moisturizing toner.
Then apply our nourishing TBH™ Kids' Body Lotion and a quality kids' sunscreen. Remember to tell your teen to apply sunscreen throughout the day.
Night Routine
At night, our bodies enter rest and restore mood, which makes products more effective. Use our TBH™ Gentle Facial Cleanser Wipes to clean off all the dirt, make-up, and sweat lodged in your child's pores. Remove dead skin cells with a soothing exfoliant 2-3 nights a week and finish the routine with a mild toner, serum, our TBH™ Kids' Body Lotion, and any spot treatment in that order.
It's not enough to have an excellent skincare routine for your kid. Use quality kids' skincare products formulated with clean, natural ingredients. Need a pointer? You can find the best of the best at TBH Kids.
