So here we are to help you manage these changes with ease and care:
Cleansing your face
The most effective way to regulate increased oil production is to keep the face clean; a
non-cosmogenic cleanser that strips the face of all the impurities leaving one with fresh,
nourished skin is the ideal choice. Cleansing your face right before bed and after you have come
back after a long day at school/college is the best way to contain any triggers. Also, it helps
soothe the skin and keep it calm. Keep away from harsh scrubbing or strong soaps, as these can
strip the skin of natural oils.
Sunscreen
Considering a lot of time is spent outdoors, it is important to provide your skin with a
resilient armour that protects it from the external stressors – UV rays, pollution and dust and
Sunscreen is the cover you need! A sunscreen with a reasonable
SPF is now an essential skincare
product for all ages. It helps protect the skin from any sun damage and prevents
hyperpigmentation. It is time to wear tanned skin with pride but care.
Touch-me-not
Now this is a hard one but one should not pick on their zit, or pop their pimple just to stop it
from growing because it will only leave a noticeable blemish that might take longer to fade off.
As a preventive measure, one must avoid touching their face, always wipe the face with a clean
cloth or a clean tissue, one must not try to wipe off sweat or oil with their bare hands. So,
keep their hand off their face!
Keeping the scalp clean
Keeping the hair clean and dandruff free is essential as the oil in our mane can trickle down to
the skin and trigger breakouts. A fresh, clean scalp is an indirect way to contain the oiliness
and keep breakouts at bay.
Bacteria-free contact surfaces
Teenagers come into contact with many surfaces – pillows, bedsheets, towels, desks, water
bottles, tiffin boxes – ensuring all these are cleaned and bacteria free as it’s easy for germs
to travel and trigger zits, pimples. Time for all teenagers to be responsible and ensure they
keep their stuff squeaky clean.
Hydration & Nutrition
As we always believe at The D Wave, skincare is an inside-out job so even teenagers are
to make
sure they hydrate and eat nutritious food as a healthy lifestyle can reflect noticeably on the
skin. They ought to also remain active as sweat helps eliminate all the toxins and keeps the
skin fresh and radiant. They should also make sure to get a lot of morning sunlight as that sets
the circadian rhythm which helps with restful sleep; Sleep is the best way to reset your skin!
The D wave Sebi-Clean Gel Crème is the care package you need to
fade away spots and repair your
skin from within. Suitable for ages over 15 – males and females. This formulation works on
healing and clarifying the skin to give you a healthy glow. The Portulaca Oleracea extracts
works on actively renewing your skin and preventing breakouts. The Salix alba bark extract helps
with exfoliating the skin, removing dead cells, and unclogging pores – an effective acne armour.
And the Lepidium sativum sprout extract helps soothe inflamed skin and keep it harmonious. Also
protects from externals stressors and strengthens the barriers. This product is suitable for all
skin types and is best used right before bed time after cleansing; it can be a part of the daily
PM routine.
As a teenager, it is best to keep the routine simple but effective. Potent actives can make your
skin extra sensitive and that can trigger reactions or breakouts. It is best to be gentle but
consistent with the skin in this phase.
Confidence and Self Love
But the best asset you can own is your confidence and the ability to love yourself. Because acne
and zits are temporary; they come unannounced and leave when you do not obsess over it. Life
goes on, what’s a few spots on the face? Does it compare to the day you spent at the beach with
the family or the best birthday you spent with your friends? Taking care of yourself is your way
of showing love but don’t be weighed down by your blemish or your zit. And as they say, these
times won’t come back – so make memories for a lifetime! Enjoy your journey and welcome changes
with compassion and care so that this difficult phase can turn into a loving one.
