Skincare in your teens: Cleanse, Exfoliate, Protect: Dr. Timm Golueke believes “as a teenager, the most important skincare step is cleansing.” During your teens, your hormones surge so it's best to “keep your skin exfoliated". Dr. Wu suggests looking for “clay containing products which have natural antiseptic and astringent properties,” and recommends Skinfix Foaming Clay Cleanser, $20, to her teen patients. Dr. Timm Golueke says “to use SPF because often when a pimple is healing and it’s exposed to the sun, it will leave hyperpigmentation.”

Dr. Jessica Wu suggests a “tranexamic acid or skin brightening Vitamin C.” This will help balance your skin tone. Dr. Jessica Wu says “adult acne can persist into your 20s,” however your “skin is generally less oily than teenage skin.” For treatment, she suggests, using “sulfur-containing acne treatments” as sulfur has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Retinol is a form of vitamin A which can help boost skin renewal. It can help deepen the layers of your skin, smoothen out wrinkles and decrease oil production.

Dr. Timm Golueke says it’s time to “invest in a serum,” as you hit thirty because of the active ingredients present in them. Again you should use retinol and be sure to ask for cosmeceutical strength retinol as it is stronger than the easily available version of retinol that you get. Be sure to be light handed when you apply products onto your skin. You should also make sure to give yourself a facial massage daily as it can also help stimulate collagen and can boost lymphatic drainage.

Dr. Timm Gouelek recommends using “a hydrating mask once or twice a week for extra moisture.” He also said to look for products containing natural humectants like aloe, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin. Pay extra attention to your eyes and apply a good quality eye cream every day. Make sure it contains anti-aging ingredients like retinol and hydrolyzed collagen. Dr. Jessica Wu advises “eating plenty of protein” as this will “help your body build strong collagen and elastic tissue.”

Dr. Timm Gouleke suggests incorporating a cleansing balm, as it “doesn’t strip your skin.” Dr. Jessica Wu advises using the L’Oreal Age Perfect Cream Cleanser, $7. You should look for a topical probiotic cream that will help retain the moisture in your skin. It'll also help maintain your skin's remaining collagen. Argan oil, Passion Fruit oil or African Marula oils will be perfect for you. Basically, use oils that help retain hydration at a much deeper level. Dr. Lancer’s Omega Hydrating Oil with Ferment Complex, $75is packed with nourishing and hydrating oils.

Dr. Jessica Wu recommends using “anti-inflammatory ingredients such as chamomile, calendula, oatmeal, and blue tansy.” You could also opt for the Natura Brasil Volumizing Face Cream, $62, which is specially designed for people above the age of 60. Make sure you're giving extra attention to your neck. So when you apply a mask, apply it on your neck as well. And finally, make sure that you go for regular check-ups because cancer is a lot more prevalent at these ages.
