Spring break is the perfect opportunity for tweens to unwind and enjoy new adventures. Amidst the excitement, it's crucial to maintain a consistent skincare routine to protect their delicate skin from environmental changes. This guide offers practical skincare advice, a packing checklist, and engaging spring break ideas to ensure your tween has a healthy and enjoyable vacation.
Essential Skincare Tips for Tweens
-
Daily Cleansing: Encourage your tween to cleanse their face twice daily to remove dirt and oil buildup. Opt for gentle, hydrating cleansers that won't strip the skin of its natural moisture.

Moisturizing: Keeping the skin hydrated is key, especially in varying climates. A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer can help maintain skin balance without clogging pores.

Sun Protection: Regardless of the destination, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is essential to shield the skin from harmful UV rays. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
