Skincare Basics for Normal to Dry & Sensitive Skin - The Ultimate Guide for Preteens and Teens

Hey there, future skincare superstar! 🌟 Whether your skin feels like it’s one step away from turning into the Sahara Desert or it freaks out at the slightest hint of a new product, this guide is just for you. And remember, great skin isn’t just for the girls—boys, you’re in this too!

How to Tell If You Have Dry or Sensitive Skin

So, how do you know if your skin falls into the normal to dry/sensitive category? Here’s the scoop:

  • Dry Skin: Your skin might feel tight, flaky, or rough. It’s like your face is constantly begging for a drink of water.
  • Sensitive Skin: Your skin gets red or irritated easily. New products or changes in weather make it go “Nope, not today!”

If this sounds like you, don’t worry. We’ve got just the routine to keep your skin happy and calm.
