The allies of Korean Skincare for Teenagers

Adolescence is a period of great changes, both physically and emotionally. The skin, in particular, can go through different phases of problems, due to the hormonal imbalances typical of this phase of life. Pimples, blackheads and blemishes often appear which, if not treated correctly, can worsen or leave scars. Fortunately, there are some skincare allies designed specifically for teenagers' skin. Here is a short guide to help you understand which products might be right for you.

1. Purifying skincare: BHA, AHA, PHA
Exfoliating acids are teenage skin's best friend, helping to remove dead skin cells, deep clean pores, and prevent breakouts. Three particularly effective acids are:

  • BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) : It is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate pores and dissolve sebum. It is ideal for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

  • AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) : Soluble in water, it is perfect for exfoliating the surface of the skin, making it brighter and smoother. It can also help reduce small wrinkles and discolouration.

  • PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acid) : Less irritating than the other two, it is excellent for those with sensitive skin. While offering gentle exfoliation, it offers the benefits of AHAs without causing redness or irritation.

2. Products against pimples
Pimples can be annoying and you are often tempted to pop them. But there is a safer and more hygienic way to treat them: anti-pimple patches. COSRX patches are among the most popular in the skincare market. These small, clear patches attach directly to the pimple, protecting it from external infections and speeding up the healing process. Furthermore, they also prevent the formation of post-pimple scars.
3. Light hydration
Even if you have oily or acne-prone skin, hydration is key. Hyaluronic acid is a perfect ingredient for teenagers as it provides excellent hydration without weighing down the skin. It is able to retain a thousand times its weight in water, ensuring deep and long-lasting hydration. Hyaluronic acid keeps the skin soft and supple, while preventing dehydration.

Skin care during adolescence may seem like a challenge, but with the right products and a daily routine, it is possible to maintain healthy, glowing skin. Don't be afraid to experiment and find the perfect combination for your specific needs!
