Why Are Tweens So Into Skincare Right Now?
If your tween has started asking for fancy serums or face masks, they’re not alone! Skincare has become a huge trend among kids aged 9-12, fueled by TikTok, YouTube, and popular brands. While these products look fun, many aren’t designed for tween skin.
The Best Skincare Routine for Tweens
A tween’s skincare routine should be simple, gentle, and effective. Here’s what dermatologists recommend:
✅ Cleanse: Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser to wash away dirt and oil.
✅ Moisturize: A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer keeps skin hydrated.
✅ Protect: SPF 30+ sunscreen is a must—even on cloudy days!
Avoid harsh active ingredients like retinoids, strong acids, and heavy treatments unless recommended by a dermatologist.
Is Social Media Influencing Your Tween’s Skincare Choices?
Yes! Many beauty influencers promote multi-step routines that aren’t necessary for young skin. Encourage your tween to research products carefully, understand marketing vs. reality, and listen to their skin’s actual needs
The Bottom Line
The skincare boom among tweens is an opportunity to teach healthy habits—but simplicity is key. A fun, age-appropriate routine keeps their skin happy without overcomplicating things.
