Ah, those teenage years. The age where we were the most awkward versions of ourselves. Those stubborn acne-filled faces, deal with braces, high-pressure studies, erratic sleep patterns, and the uncertainty of career and college choices. Sounds nightmarish, right? But along with these torturous moments came the fun ones. The group study nights, stayovers, the stuffing our faces with pizza,  without counting the calories, and the friends and bonds we made, to last us a lifetime. And, all was right with the world again. Well, almost. 
You see, as you transition from childhood to adulthood, your body goes through a lot of changes – physically, emotionally, and hormonally. And all those changes can wreak havoc on your skin. From pesky pimples to oily T-zones to dry patches, your face can feel like a battlefield, of mammoth proportions. But fear not! By following a proper skincare routine, you can arm yourself with the tools to fight back against these skin issues. A good skincare routine can help keep your skin clean, moisturized,  and healthy, which can boost your confidence and help you put your best face forward. 
Plus, establishing an effective teenage skincare routine early on, can set you up for a lifetime of healthy skin. Trust me, your future self will thank you. And who knows, you might even enjoy the process of pampering yourself a little. But how does a teenager go about opting for and finding that perfect balance between what their skin needs and what current fads they want to follow? Although they are bombarded with innumerable choices, influencer trends, and online promotions, our young adults are extremely smart and adept, at weeding out the fake and pushed advertisements and separating them from the genuine ones. Woke – I believe is the word. 

  • Deal with it  

    The number 1 skin condition faced by our young adults is acne. Dealing with these mulishly stubborn and constantly aggressive skin issues can be frustrating and to be honest embarrassing even. To understand how one must deal with it, you need to learn the reason behind these pesky monsters - puberty. The erratic and sudden hormonal changes result in stubborn pimples and excess sebum production. Genetics plays a crucial role too, as some kids are more susceptible to zits than others.  Faulty skin care habits, such as just splashing on some water or using excessively harsh products, can exacerbate the problem. Stress and bad eating habits can contribute to acne as well. While it can be a  complete nuisance, there are various effective treatments available to help reduce your acne and curtail further breakouts. 

    Our recommendation: Jovees Ayurveda Anti Acne cream is just the thing you need to include in your teenage skincare routine. Made using nature’s finest herbs like Neem and Long Pepper, this cream is the best formulation to ward off your acne and deal with the ample acne scars, making it a must in your teenage skincare routine.

  • Cleanse your way to good skin 

You see, as we go through puberty, teenage bodies face a surge of sudden hormonal changes going through their body, causing increased sebum production, resulting in clogged pores, leading to zits, 

blackheads, and whiteheads.

Keeping a good hygiene level and following a good natural skin care routine is super essential while taking care of your skin. Starting with a natural skin cleanser can be just the thing you need to establish that perfect self-care routine.

Need for moisturizing  

Teenage years often result in oily, greasy, and sticky-looking skin. Our young adults often skip moisturizing, assuming that the oiliness will worsen their acne problem. But, what if we tell you,  moisturizing can actually be just the best thing to happen for acne-prone and oily skin? When your skin is dry, it actually amps up the sebum secretion on your skin. Keeping your skin moisturized, prevents and controls the sebum production on your skin, keeping your oily skin in check.  

Our recommendation: Jovees Aloe Vera Moisturizing Lotion is an excellent hydrating lotion to include in your teenage skincare routine. Made using pure Aloe Vera extract this natural skin care product helps soothe and calm irritated skin apart from infusing hydration into the skin.  

• Screen your skin 

Another lotion? Oh yeah! While layering up with another coat of lotion or gel may seem absolutely unnecessary and cumbersome, it actually is one of the few (maybe only) ways to ensure overall skin health. Teenage kids can only be seen flying out of the door (literally!). Be it for their coaching class,  football or badminton class or whether they are just stepping out to meet their friends, applying sunscreen may not be high up on their priority list. But applying a natural sunscreen lotion can prevent our skin from premature aging, tanning, and sunburns. It also prevents our skin from the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays. Even when stuck indoors, with their noses buried between heaps of books,  sun protection is not up for debate, as the harsh effects of the sun can penetrate through walls and windows as well.  

Our recommendation: Jovees Sun Defence Cream is a lightweight, broad-spectrum, quickly absorbing and grease-free formulation. It protects your skin against surface skin cell damage, tanning, and sunburn. It’s the most effective tool in the teenage skincare routine. 

• Exfoliate 

Yes, that may seem harsh. No, we aren’t talking about the product. You may find recommending exfoliation to teenagers harsh. But, fear not my dear friend. Using a natural exfoliator is extremely essential for teens, to maintain good skin health. Excess sebum production, results in clogged pores. Our pores are jammed with dead surface cells, impurities, and grime. Using a natural face cleanser with natural fruit granules can help unclog your pores allowing your skin to breathe better, and permit better absorption of nutrients from skin care products.

Our recommendation: Jovees Jojoba and Neem Scrub is a gentle and safe exfoliator, made by using extremely safe botanical treasures. It helps enhance your skin’s elasticity and curbs excess sebum production. With the addition of natural Jojoba beads this scrub is perfectly suitable for sensitive teenage skin care routine.
