Do’s and Don’ts of TWEEN SKINCARE!
Acne and skin problems
used to be a teen issue, but, with kids enter puberty earlier, tween acne is on
the rise. Dermatologists are seeing kids who are 10 years old and even younger
seeking help for skin issues. Each year they are diagnosing more and more kids
younger than 12 years old with pre-adolescent acne.
Parents are eager to help
their tweens and bring back the sweet, smooth baby skin that they had just a
few years ago. Parents can help their children by reviewing (and then reminding
them as needed, probably many times) dos and don’ts of tween skin care, which
can establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Remember, this is all
new to tweens who aren't always stellar at self-care and they need your help.
DO have your tweens and
teens wash their face TWO times a day. Cleansing morning and night is one of
the best ways to promote healthy skin.
DO use the cold, hard,
rather gross facts to motivate your kiddo. Tween boys in particular love gross
info, so try this on them: Bacteria loves to feed on the oil your body’s
sebaceous glands naturally produce, including the oil on your face. Oil
production increases during puberty. Washing helps eliminate that oil and thus
the bacteria. Gross, yes, but also motivating.
DO have kids wash their
face (and take a shower, if possible) as soon as possible after sports practice.
Should they wash more than twice a day? It can be helpful if a tween is
especially active and sweating a lot. This will also help with body odor
issues.
DON’T scrub too hard. How
a child washes his/her face matters, too. Kids should be careful to wash gently
and not scrub, which can irritate the skin and exacerbate the problem.
DO use a gentle cleanser
and products that will not clog their skin. TreSkinRX recommends our Purifying
Cleanser. Based with medical grade aloe, this cleanser is gentle, therapeutic,
and because of the high grade aloe, kills bacteria and prevents inflammation,
which is the #1 cause of acne. And if you need another reason to keep your
tween girl out of makeup, explain to her that products like foundation and
cream blue can clog pores.
DON'T skip sunscreen, get
tweens started using it so they can prevent skin cancer down the road.
If they are breaking out
with acne, DO wash using a product with either salicylic acid or benzoyl
peroxide. Leave the cleanser on the skin for a one to two minutes "so that
its active ingredients can penetrate your skin’s epidermis." TreSkinRX’s
Clear Skin Cleanser is an awesome acne cleanser containing these two important
ingredients. Make sure if your tween does use makeup, that they remove the
makeup first before using the acne cleanser. Acne cleansers do not remove
makeup.
DON’T let tweens and
teens keep touching their face. Encourage your kids to keep their hands off
their faces so as not to add to the oil on their face, irritate the existing
pimples or pick at them causing a scar.
Keratosis
Pilaris is a common skin condition that is characterized by the
appearance of rough bumps on the skin. It most often appears on the back and
outer sides of the upper arms. Although harmless, this condition is often
embarrassing to those that suffer from it.
The powerful combination of ingredients
found in TreSkinRX products include 100% organic pharmaceutical-grade aloe
vera, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and Vitamin A. Together they work to
address these symptoms. Regular exfoliation with our daily renewing exfoliant,
EX3, will gradually slough off and eliminate the rough bumps associated with
this condition.
EX3 Daily
Renewing Exfoliant
Our patented exfoliant combines Aloe Vera,
Vitamin C and glycolic acid into one unique formula. This remarkable
combination removes dead skin cells while activating the production of collagen
- the skin's natural cell rejuvenation process. The result is a visable
reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and improvement in the texture and clarity
of your skin. EX3 is simply the best at-home exfoliant available. Experience

Dr. Abdullah was looking to offer his
patients the best products to ensure healthy skin.
Dr. Abdullah is a
board-certified plastic and cosmetic surgeon and a recognized expert on the
restorative and medicinal effects of aloe vera which he has used in his medical
practice for over 25 years. He is a member of the International Aloe Science
Council (IASC) based in Dallas, Texas, and has served on its board of
directors.
As a board-certified
plastic surgeon and noted aloe researcher, Dr. Abdullah is a pioneer of the
practice of using pharmaceutical-grade aloe in plastic surgery for the
treatment of skin damage. Given the amazing results in his practice from using
aloe vera, Dr. Abdullah specifically searched for an aloe-based skincare line
he could offer to his patients. In 1996, after his search came up fruitless, he
applied his background in chemistry and biology to formulate the TreSkinRX
pharmaceutical-grade aloe vera based products. He offered these products to his
patients until 2009 when TreSkinRX was launched to introduce these products to
the world!
Reading his credentials, education, awards below... who do you trust in that has developed your skincare products?
I know many like to create their own skincare today. They use essential oils and hope they have good ingredients and a recipe someone has made up. But who created that recipe? Are the essential oils you're using, absolutely proven to be of the purest safest quality, a true clinical grade? Or are you simply taking the word of a company on the quality of their oils? You can see the tests, more tests done, and tests that meet or pass the standards not set by a company, but by clinical trials research institutions who set the standard far above what most companies claim as a therapeutic grade.

However, why reinvent a wheel? Why count on a recipe developed by who knows who? When you have the credentials of someone like Dr Abdullah, and a product line as great as TreSkinRX with a true medical grade aloe vera base in each product, all natural, proven effective... why reinvent that wheel?
