Teenage
is the transitional phase of every individual’s life. In this battle of life
one may tend to forget the battle their skin is dealing with. Keeping busy
during the day does not mean you ignore your skin. You can take care of it
during the night too. In fact, it is said that during night our skin absorbs
nutrients better than the day time. Moreover, there are various brands in the
market which provide teenage night treatment creams to help enhance skin.
We
first need to understand the skin type to take care of our skin correctly.
Types of skin:
- Normal skin: This type of skin is usually soft and smooth with no blemishes and patches. There is balance in water content and oil production in skin.
- Oily skin: An oily skin is shiny and has acne, pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. The fluctuating hormones during teenage may add to the problems with oily skin type.
- Dry skin: It is dull, itchy and not so smooth to touch.
- Combination skin: This is the amalgamation of all the above skin types. In this some parts may be very oily, while other may be too dry.
Now let us move on to night skincare tips for teens:
Step1: Remove Makeup
Sleeping
in makeup is a skincare sin. So remove your make up with a gentle make up
remover. This helps to maintain the pH level of skin and also to soothe.
Step 2: Cleanse
No
matter your skin type, use a gentle cleanser to flush out the dirt stick on
your face. Massage the face wash for few seconds on your skin and then rinse it
thoroughly with warm water.
Step 3: Exfoliate
Exfoliation
is an important step one must follow to remove dead skin. This step need to be
practiced only twice or thrice a week. Concentrate on scrubbing the pores on
your cheeks and blackheads on your nose. Use homemade exfoliates like milk and
bran, if not the market one.
Step 4: Tone it up
Use
an alcohol based toner to restore the pH balance of your skin after the exfoliation.
A toner also acts as a booster to rejuvenate the dead skin cells. Not only
this, it is very affective for treating the acne problem as it reduces the
excessive oil from the skin pores. One can use the most natural toner, rose
water.
Step 5: Moisturize
Moisturizing
your skin with teenage night treatment creams before going to bed is a very
good habit. This helps to rejuvenate and nourish your skin. Not only for night,
use skin care cream for night and day both. Take a little extra time to
moisturize your elbows, heels, knees, hands and feet as these parts are
especially dry at night.
Step 6: Eye Cream
Under
eye area is not born with any specific oil glands. Thus this needs an extra
care. Choose a good eye cream to fight the damage. Tap the cream around your
eye with light hand and remember not to stretch the skin around the eye.
Step 7: Lip Care
To
soothe your lips wash them with warm water and dry them with a soft towel. This
will remove the dead skin. Then apply a coat of lip balm to keep them nourished
through the night.
Step 8: Brush your hair
To
avoid hair fall and knotted hair when you wake up, brush your hair out and add a
night-time leave in conditioner. Do not tie your hair while you sleep as it
leads to increased breakage.
Step 9: Switch to silk
A
good sleep is very important to enhance your beauty. Silk pillowcases are
beneficiary in providing sound sleep. It also prevents the unnecessary creases
on skin which you get from the cotton pillowcases. Not only this, silk
pillowcases improves the oxygen level to scalp leading to better hair growth.
Step 10: Sleep on your back
Pushing
your face into pillow can increase the wrinkles on the face. To prevent this,
try to sleep on your back.

without any filters. So take special care of your skin as ‘Your Skin is YOU’.
