Tweens don’t need a complicated skincare routine—just three essentials: a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer, and SPF. But beyond these basics, a few fun extras can help keep their skin fresh and happy!
Here are the best skincare products for tweens, featuring gentle and effective picks that won’t overwhelm young skin.
1. Best Cleanser: Be-Tween Aloe Cleansing Ball
A fun way to cleanse, this jelly-like ball lathers up with water, making washing your face feel like an activity rather than a chore. I It provides moisture to dry skin and protects the skin barrier. Perfect for daily use!
2. Best Moisturizer: Be-Tween Aloe Moisturizer
Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and packed with hydrating squalane and hyaluronic acid, this moisturizer keeps tween skin soft and balanced all day long. No greasy or sticky feel—just pure hydration.
3. Best SPF: Mineral Sunscreen Stick (Kid-Friendly Formula)
Tweens need sun protection, but many hate the feel of sunscreen. A mineral sunscreen stick makes application quick, mess-free, and fun—perfect for tossing in a backpack. Look for SPF 30+ with zinc oxide for gentle protection.
We like Blue Lizard Kids Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Stick & Baby Bum SPF50 Sunscreen Face Stick.
4. Best Face Mist: Hydrating Aloe Mist
A light, alcohol-free mist with aloe and cucumber is great for refreshing skin throughout the day, especially after sports or outdoor activities. Plus, it feels cooling and calming!
We like Mario Badescu Facial Spray & Thayers Unscented Facial Toner Mist.
5. Best Lip Balm: Nourishing Shea Butter & Coconut Oil
Dry, chapped lips? A lip balm or chapstick with shea butter and coconut oil keeps lips soft.
We like eos Pineapple Passionfruit Lip Balm & Burt's Bees Shea + Coconut Oil Lip Balm.
6. Best Spot Treatment: Calming Pimple Patches
For the occasional breakout, hydrocolloid pimple patches help absorb excess oil and prevent picking—no harsh acne treatments needed.
7. Best Nighttime Skincare Treat: Be-Tween Aloe Mask Powder
Self-care should start young! This aloe-infused peel-off mask makes skincare fun while soothing and refreshing tween skin. Just mix the powder with water, apply, let dry, and peel off for smooth, happy skin.
8. Best Multipurpose Skincare Essential: Vaseline
A skincare classic, Vaseline is great for sealing in moisture, soothing dry patches, and keeping lips soft. Tweens can apply a thin layer on chapped lips and dry elbows for extra hydration.
Keep It Simple! A Tween Routine Shouldn’t Be Overwhelming
There’s no need for a 10-step skincare routine! Tweens should stick to the basics:
✅ Cleanse (Be-Tween Aloe Cleansing Ball) – Morning & night
✅ Hydrate (Be-Tween Aloe Moisturizer) – After cleansing
✅ Protect (SPF 30+) – Every morning
Everything else—like mists, masks, and lip balm—is just a fun bonus to keep their skin feeling fresh.
