Creating Good Skincare Routines for Tweens and Teens: Fun, Simple, and Safe

As your tween or teen begins to explore the world of skincare, establishing good habits early on is crucial. Developing a simple, effective skincare routine not only ensures their skin stays healthy and radiant, but it also fosters self-care and confidence during an important phase of life. Unfortunately, many tweens and teens fall into the trap of using adult skincare products, which are often too harsh for their developing skin. This is where Oh Flossy comes in—with fun, safe, and gentle products specifically formulated for young skin, making skincare enjoyable and accessible.

We’ll explore why skincare routines matter for tweens and teens, how to create a healthy habit with Oh Flossy products, and why our 7-day challenge is a perfect way to get started.

Why Skincare Matters for Tweens and Teens

The tween and teen years are a time of change—not just emotionally, but physically too. As hormones start to fluctuate, the skin goes through its own transformation. Increased oil production can lead to clogged pores and breakouts, while dry or sensitive patches may develop on other areas of the face. This is why establishing a solid skincare routine tailored to their specific skin needs is so important.

Many young people are tempted to reach for products marketed toward adults. These products, however, often contain aggressive actives like strong acids or retinoids that can irritate sensitive, young skin. Additionally, adult skincare routines tend to involve multiple steps and expensive products, which can overwhelm tweens and teens.

Here’s where Oh Flossy comes in. We believe skincare should be fun, simple, and safe, especially for growing skin. Our products are designed to cater specifically to the needs of tweens and teens, using natural ingredients that soothe, hydrate, and protect without causing irritation. By keeping it simple, we make it easy for young people to stick to a routine they enjoy—building healthy habits from the start.

The Basics of a Good Skincare Routine for Tweens and Teens

A good skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler it is, the better chance your tween or teen will stick to it. At Oh Flossy, we recommend a straightforward, three-step routine:

1. Cleanse with a gentle face wash.
2. Hydrate with a nourishing moisturiser.
3. Protect with sunscreen (during the day).

This simple approach covers the essentials—removing dirt, oil, and impurities, replenishing moisture, and protecting the skin from damage. Let’s break down how each product in our Oh Flossy skincare range helps young skin thrive.

Step 1: Cleanse with the Glow Getter Gentle Gel Cleanser

The first and most important step in any skincare routine is cleansing. Throughout the day, dirt, oil, and bacteria build up on the skin’s surface. Without proper cleansing, these impurities can clog pores, leading to breakouts and dull skin.

Our Glow Getter Gentle Gel Cleanser is the perfect starting point for tweens and teens. Formulated with soothing natural ingredients like aloe vera and green tea extract, this gentle face wash removes dirt and excess oil without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. Plus, it contains willowherb extract to calm redness and irritation—common issues for young, sensitive skin.

Using the Glow Getter cleanser twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed—helps keep skin fresh, clean, and ready for the next steps in their routine.

Step 2: Hydrate with the Dreamy Dew Hydrating Moisturiser

After cleansing, it’s essential to lock in hydration with a good moisturiser. Many young people mistakenly think moisturisers aren’t necessary, especially if they have oily skin. However, moisturising is crucial for keeping the skin balanced, healthy, and protected.

The Dreamy Dew Hydrating Moisturiser is packed with natural hydrators like jojoba oil, shea butter, and Kakadu plum extract. These ingredients provide lightweight hydration while helping to balance oil production, making it perfect for all skin types. Jojoba oil closely mimics the skin’s natural oils, ensuring long-lasting moisture without clogging pores, while Kakadu plum provides a natural dose of vitamin C to brighten the skin.

By using Dreamy Dew daily, your tween or teen will keep their skin soft, hydrated, and glowing—without the need for heavy or greasy products.

Step 3: Moisturise and Pamper with the Whipped Wonder Shimmering Body Custard

In addition to facial care, it’s important to care for the body’s skin as well. This is where our Whipped Wonder Shimmering Body Custard comes in. Made with rich, hydrating ingredients like cocoa butter and mango butter, this luxurious body moisturiser deeply hydrates and smooths the skin while adding a subtle shimmer for extra fun.

The body custard is perfect for post-shower pampering and provides a dose of much-needed moisture, especially during the colder months when the skin tends to be drier. Your tween or teen will love the silky, glowing finish it leaves behind, making skincare feel more like a treat than a chore.
