Skincare for Tweens: A Simple Guide to Healthy, Happy Skin

Skincare for Tweens: A Simple Guide to Healthy, Happy Skin

When your child hits the tween years (ages 7-12), their skin starts changing—hello, oily T-zones and surprise breakouts! But don’t worry, starting a simple skincare routine now can help keep their skin healthy and build lifelong habits.

Why Skincare for Tweens is Important

Tweens may not have full-blown teenage acne yet, but their skin is adjusting to hormones, increased oil production, and environmental factors. Proper skincare helps:
✔️ Keep pores clear and prevent breakouts
✔️ Hydrate skin without making it greasy
✔️ Build confidence in personal care routines

A Tween-Friendly Skincare Routine

The best skincare for tweens is simple and fun. Here’s a routine that’s easy to stick to:

1. Cleanse (Wash Away the Day!)

Sweat, dirt, and oil can build up, leading to clogged pores. A gentle cleanser like Be-Tween’s Aloe Cleansing Ball makes washing their face fun—just lather, rinse, and glow! Aim for twice a day, morning and night.

2. Moisturize (Hydration Without the Grease!)

Even tweens with oily skin need hydration! A lightweight, fast-absorbing moisturizer keeps their skin balanced and happy. Be-Tween’s Aloe Moisturizer has squalane and hyaluronic acid to hydrate without feeling heavy.

3. Mask (Self-Care = Fun Time!)

A weekly mask helps reset the skin while giving tweens a fun way to practice self-care. Be-Tween’s Aloe Powder Mask is easy to mix and dries into a satisfying peel-off experience!

Common Tween Skincare Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them!)

🚫 Over-washing – Stripping natural oils can lead to even more oil production. Stick to twice a day.
🚫 Skipping moisturizer – Hydrated skin is healthy skin!
🚫 Picking at skin – It can cause irritation and scarring. Hands off!

Keep It Simple & Fun!

The key to skincare for tweens is consistency—but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. With the right products and a routine that’s easy to follow, your tween can have healthy, happy skin without stress.
