Teen Skin Care Makeup Tips

Skin care and make up needs of teenagers is different as compared to the skin care regimen for women. Skin care should actually start when they are preteens, as early as the age of 10 or 11. Hormones start to kick in and blemishes may begin to appear. Skin care and makeup tips helps you a lot.

As you mature, your skin care needs will change, like your skin. Pay special attention to what products you are using and if there are any undesirable affects taking place. The skin that makes you look radiant one month may cause blemishes and breakouts the next. Here, we are discussed some skin care and makeup tips.

Moisturizer
At an early age, a light moisturizer can be used but do not use heavy creams made for dry skin. Choose a product formulated for light skin care maintenance and the one, which does not block your pores. 
A heavy moisturizer will probably cause disorder and pimples. Make an effort to use a light moisturizer only once a day, before bedtime. Any more often than that is probably overdoing it.

Pimples and Blemishes
Acne is a skin care concern for teens. Keep your face and hair clean, wash your hands frequently, and keep them away from your face. There are many products available in the market today for acne prevention and cures, and they are much more effective .

Make-up Tips for Teens

Most teenage girls begin wearing light make-up around the ages of 12-13 as they become more aware of their appearance. As a teen, your make-up should look natural and enhance your facial features. Do not overdo it; this will only make you look silly. With an inexpensive product, you can play up your finest features and look great.

Keep your make-up light for school. You do not need to use make-up on every facial feature you have. Mix and match to find out what looks best on you.

For parties, you may want to add a little more make-up to enhance your features. Make sure you blend it in well with your fingers or a cosmetics brush and check it in bright light when you are finished.

Foundation
Foundation for teens is not necessary. While it can clog your pores, it will also look overdone. Use a concealer on your blemishes by skipping the foundation. Lightly dust on some loose powder over your entire face to even out your skin tone, control oil, and set the concealer.

Freckles
Do not try to hide your freckles. You may not appreciate them, but they are part of you. Due to the exposure to sunlight it makes freckles darker so avoiding the sun and using a sunscreen will keep them in check. As you get older, they can fade and then they will not be an issue. 

Eye Make-up
You may not be interested in eye shadow until you are a little older. If so, that is great. When you do begin wearing it, keep it light and use any trendy metallics and sparkles sparingly. They can flake off into your eyes and cause irritation. Eye shadow does not have to match your eyes; however, earth tones (tan, brown, gray) are very complimentary to blue, brown and hazel eyes.

When you begin using mascara, brown works best for both blondes and brunettes. Black is probably too harsh, especially in the daytime. If you think, brown is not dark enough, try brownish-black.

Water-resistant mascara may be necessary for sports and outdoor activities in warm weather. It stays for long and does not run but it is harder to take off. It is best to keep make-up to a minimum and you will not have to worry about undesired smearing.

If you are going to use eyeliner, a pencil liner looks more natural than liquid liner. Learn to apply it with a steady hand for straight lines, and blot it with a tissue if you get it on too dark.

Blush
Liquid and stick blush are popular choices for teens because they glide on smoothly and blend in well. Pinks and peaches compliment almost any skin tone. Apply to the apple of your cheeks and blend outwards, towards your hairline.

Lips 
For luscious lips, lip-gloss does the trick. If you want to add some color to your lips for a nighttime look, try a lipstick in a sheer color. For extra shine, put the lip-gloss on over your lipstick. Always have lip balm handy for chapped lips.

General Makeup Advice

As with any make-up, blending is the key. Check your make-up in daylight if possible and do not be afraid to wipe off any excess with a tissue.

Quit using make-up immediately if you ever experience any skin irritation,
