Starting Good Skincare Habits for Tweens & Teens
Helping your tween or teen develop a consistent skincare routine can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Early habits can set the stage for healthy skin well into adulthood, and using gentle, natural products is key for sensitive, developing skin.
At Mama Be Clean, we offer simple, effective solutions designed with young skin in mind. From cleansers to body washes, our natural formulas are safe, nourishing, and easy to incorporate into daily routines.
Why Start a Skincare Routine Early?
Tween and teen years bring changes in hormones, which can increase oil production and cause blemishes. Establishing a consistent skincare routine helps:
Reduce breakouts and clogged pores
Maintain healthy hydration
Instill habits for long-term skin health
Step 1: Gentle Daily Cleansing
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and sweat without stripping the skin. Our Purifying Charcoal Goat Milk Soap is perfect for this:
Activated charcoal draws out impurities and excess oil
Goat milk nourishes and supports hydration
Tea tree oil helps combat blemishes
Suitable for face and body, safe for ages 9+
This bar is ideal for teens with oily or acne-prone skin, making it a natural choice for a morning or evening routine.
Step 2: Refreshing Body Care
For active teens, a daily body wash is essential. The Tea Tree & Peppermint Natural Body Wash gently cleanses, deodorizes, and invigorates:
Tea tree oil clarifies and fights bacteria
Peppermint refreshes and energizes
Aloe vera and jojoba oil hydrate and soothe skin
It’s gentle enough for everyday use and perfect for after sports, gym, or a long school day.
Step 3: Keep It Simple & Consistent
Consistency is key! A simple routine—cleanser + body wash—is often all a teen needs. Encourage them to:
Wash face and body daily
Pat skin dry and avoid harsh scrubbing
Use natural, gentle products that support their sensitive skin
Why Natural Products Matter
Young skin is sensitive, and harsh chemicals can cause irritation or dryness. Using natural, plant-based products like those from Mama Be Clean helps protect skin while effectively cleansing and nourishing. No parabens, sulfates, or harsh additives—just pure, skin-loving ingredients.
Back-to-School Tip: Make skincare fun! Let your tween or teen choose their favorite scents—like the fresh mint of Tea Tree & Peppermint Body Wash or the detoxifying Purifying Charcoal Goat Milk Soap—to keep them engaged and excited about their routine.
At Mama Be Clean, we make it easy for parents and teens to start simple, natural, and effective skincare habits that last a lifetime.
