Question

I am 10, I don’t have oily skin, but I still want to use toner, is that safe/okay?

Lauren Pham

Community Answer

Yes, it is fine. I have very dry skin, however I do use toner as a part of my skin regimen because it gets the dirt I missed when washing my face. I have to tell you that it can be VERY drying, so you should use a good moisturizer after. I recommend using witch hazel. It is natural and it works perfectly. Be sure to avoid any toners with alcohol.

Question

I am 9, and I have no exfoliating cleansers, is there anything I could use instead?

Community Answer

You can use a homemade recipe of coconut oil and sugar if you have no other exfoliators at home. If you don't have those ingredients, there are more options in the article on How to Make a Basic Homemade Facial Scrub .

Question

Is it okay to use some of the skincare products and not all of them?

Community Answer

It's up to your lifestyle and your skin type. Some types of care may be essential for a skin type but others may not be helpful or needed at all. Experiment a bit to see what works best for your skin type and needs.

Yes, you can use witch hazel. But it's better to dilute it. Use it in small quantities.

Question

Are toners good for the skin because it makes my skin a little red, is that normal?

Ayisha A. Gill

Community Answer

That's not normal. Don't use a product if you're allergic to any ingredient. See your doctor for further help.

Question

I am a 10 year old girl. My mom does not allow me to use toner and exfoliator because I am too young. Can you suggest a mild toner and exfoliator for me?

Community Answer

You are too young to be starting to use toner/exfoliator. In fact, you don't really need to start washing your face until you are 11. For now, if you're really that keen, just wash your face with mild Cetaphil cleanser and then applying lotion.

Question

I am 12 but suffer from a few breakouts on my face and my skin is not oily but it can sometimes get dry. What should I use?

Chloe Palmer

Community Answer

Look in your local drugstore for facial moisturisers made especially for oily skin. These will soothe your dry skin but won't contain the oil that makes your skin anymore greasy or oily. It may take a couple of tries to find the perfect one but once you do, it will work for all your teenage years.

I’m 10 years old and I’m thinking about buying products for a skincare routine. Am I too young?

Community Answer

No you aren't, just don't buy harsh products that can ruin your young skin, use gentle cleansers and rich moisturisers.
