Skincare for young skin

Young skin only needs the basics

Young people under 15 don’t need strong Retinoids or Vitamin C. At night, a gentle cleansing and simple moisturizing is all you need. Additionally, you can try a hydrating toner or a Hyaluronic Acid serum for some extra hydration. These kinds of products are great for those, who want to experiment with skincare without having to worry about irritation.

Smuuti Skin Watermelon Sorbet Balm is a great cleansing product for young skin. It doesn’t dry out the skin or contain any harsh active ingredients. Watermelon Jelly Cream is a great moisturizer for most young people, but the Peach Barrier Cream is a good fragrance-free alternative.

In the morning, all you need is sunscreen to protect you from skin problems caused by the sun. Additionally, you can cleanse your face and apply all of your hydrating products under the sunscreen if you like. We don’t recommend the Kiwi Clear products for young skin, as the exfoliating acids can be too harsh if used too often. Also, young skin doesn’t yet need chemical exfoliation.

The first blemishes can be treated gently

Teenager’s skincare routine can include some mild exfoliants to help with any blemishes. Smuuti Skin Kiwi Clear Gel Cleanser is a gentle way to exfoliate and cleanse the skin daily without excess dryness or irritation. The Kiwi Clear Serum is a more effective exfoliant that can be used a couple times a week to help with blemishes or texture. Rest of your routine can stay the same.

When using exfoliants, diligent sunscreen use is also important. The Kiwi Clear Serum should not be used in the daytime at all, to avoid unnecessary sun sensitivity. Otherwise, the morning routine for a teenager can be the same.

Only adult skin needs actives

Adults can include stonger exfoliants, Vitamin C and Retinoids in their skincare. Smuuti products are also suitable for adult skin and you can achieve great resurfacing result with the Kiwi Clear Serum if used daily. You don’t need separate cleansing products for adult skin, so Smuuti products can work as a base routine for stronger active ingredients.
