Teen Skin Guide: Clear, Confident Skin from Head to Toe

Understanding Teen Skin: What's Happening & Why

Your skin is going through major changes right now because of hormones that affect both your face and body. These hormones can:

• Increase oil production (hello, shiny T-zone!)
• Trigger breakouts in unexpected places
• Create sensitivity that wasn't there before
• Cause dramatic shifts between dry and oily skin

The good news? With the right approach, you can work with these changes instead of fighting against them.

Face Care Essentials: Building Your First Routine

Morning Routine: 3 Simple Steps

1. Gentle Cleanse:

• Use Hylunia Facial Cleansing Gel with lukewarm (not hot!) water
• Massage in circular motions for 30-60 seconds
• Rinse thoroughly - residue leads to breakouts

2. Balance & Prep:

• Apply Hylunia Colloidal Silver Mist to freshly cleansed skin
• This step helps control excess oil while fighting bacteria that cause breakouts
• Bonus: It's refreshing and can be used throughout the day

3. Light Hydration:

• Apply a small amount of Hylunia Multi-function Hyaluronic Acid Serum
• Yes, even oily skin needs hydration! Skipping moisturizer actually makes oil worse
• This lightweight formula won't clog pores or feel heavy

Evening Routine: Reset & Repair

1. Thorough Cleanse:

• Use Hylunia Facial Cleansing Gel to remove the day's buildup
• For makeup wearers: Double cleanse by using the cleanser twice
• Be gentle - scrubbing harshly makes inflammation worse

2. Targeted Treatment:

• Apply Hylunia Advanced Acne Spot Minimizer Gel only to active breakouts
• Less is more! Use a tiny amount directly on spots
• For larger breakout areas, try Hylunia Colloidal Silver Mist first

3. Balanced Moisture:

• Apply Hylunia Multi-function Hyaluronic Acid Serum to slightly damp skin
• Focus on any areas that feel tight or dry
• Avoid heavy creams that might trigger more breakouts

Weekly Treatments: Reset Button

Once-Weekly Exfoliation:

• Use Hylunia Grape Seed Facial Scrub once weekly (not more!)
• Apply to damp skin with gentle pressure
• Focus on T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) where most congestion occurs
• Skip this step during active breakouts or when skin feels irritated

Occasional Mask Treatment:

• Apply Hylunia Antioxidant Mask once weekly for skin reset
• This helps clear pores without harsh ingredients
• Great before special events to reduce redness and calm skin

Body Care Basics: Beyond Just Your Face

Daily Body Care Routine

Shower Strategy:

• Use Hylunia Hydrate Body Wash with lukewarm water
• Hot water strips natural oils and can make body acne worse
• Focus on areas prone to breakouts (back, chest, shoulders)
• Keep showers under 10 minutes to prevent drying skin

Post-Shower Hydration:

• Apply Hylunia Healing & Restoring Cream to still-damp skin
• This fragrance-free formula won't irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin
• Pay extra attention to rough spots like elbows and knees

Weekly Body Treatments

Exfoliation for Breakout Zones:

• Use Hylunia Grape Seed Body Scrub 1-2 times weekly
• Focus on areas prone to breakouts or rough texture
• Gentle circular motions prevent "bacne" and other body breakouts

Spot Treatment:

• Apply Hylunia Colloidal Silver Mist to chest/back breakouts
• Let dry completely before dressing
• Wear loose, breathable fabrics to reduce friction

Dealing with Common Teen Skin Concerns

Acne & Breakouts

For Occasional Breakouts:

Oily Skin Management

Throughout the Day:

• Use blotting papers (not tissues) to absorb excess oil
• Reapply Hylunia Colloidal Silver Mist to refresh and rebalance
• Resist over-washing - it actually increases oil production

Nighttime Balancing:

• Use Hylunia Perfect Balance Deep Cleansing Gel for deeper cleansing
• Apply Hylunia Multi-function Hyaluronic Acid Serum - oils and water are different!
• Use Hylunia Antioxidant Mask weekly to control excess oil

Dry/Sensitive Patches

For Facial Dryness:

• Switch to Hylunia Gentle Hydrating Cleansing Lotion for face

For Body Dryness:

• Apply Hylunia Healing & Restoring Cream immediately after showering
• Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels
• Reapply to hands after washing throughout the day

Smart Skin Habits Beyond Products

Lifestyle Factors That Affect Your Skin

Sleep & Stress Management:

• Aim for 8-10 hours of sleep - this is when skin repairs itself
• Practice deep breathing when stressed to prevent hormone spikes
• Use Hylunia Colloidal Silver Mist as part of calming routine

Nutrition & Hydration:

• Drink water consistently throughout the day
• Limit dairy and high-sugar foods if you notice they trigger breakouts
• Include foods rich in omega-3s (salmon, walnuts) for natural skin support

Tech & Environmental Protection:

• Clean your phone screen daily (it's full of bacteria!)
• Keep hair products away from face - they can clog pores
• Change pillowcases weekly to prevent bacteria transfer

When to See a Professional

Consider seeing a dermatologist if:

• Acne is severe, painful, or leaving scars
• Skin doesn't improve after 8-12 weeks of consistent care
• You develop unusual rashes or skin reactions

DO:

• Be consistent with your basic routine
• Wash your face morning and night
