For most tweens, safe skincare means a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturiser and daily sunscreen. Young skin does not need strong active ingredients or long routines. It usually does best with products that help keep skin clean, hydrated and balanced.

There is no exact age, but many kids start becoming interested in skincare between ages 7 and 12. A simple routine can make sense once skin starts to feel a little oilier, more sensitive, or begins showing early changes like clogged pores. Additionally, a simple cleanser can also help to wash away sweat, sunscreen and dirt built up over a busy day of sport, playing or other activities.

Tweens should generally avoid stronger adult-style ingredients like retinol, high-strength vitamin C, harsh exfoliants and anti-ageing products. These can be too strong for young skin and may cause dryness, irritation or have unwanted longer term effects.

No. Most tweens do not need a complicated routine. A simple cleanse, moisturise and protect approach is usually enough. More products does not mean better skin.

Skin changes and pimples are a normal part of growing up. A simple, gentle routine is often the best place to start, but it's ok for pimples to still come out, its the hormones doing their job. If breakouts become more persistent, inflamed or concerning, it is a good idea to speak with a GP, pharmacist or dermatologist.
