Start with Empathy, Not Fixes

Ask how acne affects their day. Listen without jumping to solutions. Share your own teenage stories if helpful. Teens open up when they feel safe, and solutions flow naturally when emotions are acknowledged first.

Routine Teens Will Actually Follow

Morning: gentle cleanser, targeted serum (niacinamide or salicylic), SPF. Evening: cleanser, spot treatment if needed, lightweight moisturizer. Keep products in their bathroom or gym bag. Provide a laminated checklist if they love structure. Pre-portion products for away games or sleepovers.

When to Bring in Professional Help

If breakouts scar, hurt, or lower confidence, book a teen skin consult. We offer flexible studio appointments, education on product use, and LED facials that calm quickly before big events. We also liaise with dermatologists when prescription support is needed. Teens appreciate guidance that feels like coaching rather than lecturing.
