WHAT'S GOING ON?

Breakouts & blemishes are a normal part of teen skin.

During the teen years, changing hormones can increase oil production, while sweat, everyday build-up and dead skin can contribute to clogged-looking pores and breakouts. The answer isn't necessarily more products or harsher cleansing. A simple, consistent routine that cleanses gently, keeps skin hydrated and introduces targeted care thoughtfully is a better place to start.

WHAT YOUR SKIN NEEDS

CLEANSE GENTLY

Remove excess oil, sweat and everyday build-up without constantly stripping your skin.

KEEP SKIN HYDRATED

Breakout-prone or oily-feeling skin still needs hydration to support a balanced routine.

STAY CONSISTENT

Give your routine time to work instead of constantly switching products or adding more steps.

YOUR SIMPLE ROUTINE

  • STEP 01

    CLEANSE

    Start by gently removing excess oil, sweat and everyday build-up without over-cleansing.

  • STEP 02

    HYDRATE

    Refresh and hydrate your skin after cleansing to help keep your routine balanced.

  • STEP 03

    TREAT

    Add targeted care with Glow Fuel Vitamin C Serum as the treatment step in your routine.

  • STEP 04

    MOISTURISE

    Keep skin comfortably hydrated rather than skipping moisturiser because you're experiencing breakouts.

  • STEP 05

    PROTECT

    Finish your morning routine with SPF 30 to help protect your skin from everyday sun exposure.

WHEN TO USE YOUR ROUTINE

MORNING

Cleanse → Hydrate → Treat → Moisturise → Protect

Finish with Sunguard SPF 30 as the final step in your morning routine. Introduce targeted treatments gradually as your skin needs them.

EVENING

Cleanse → Hydrate → Treat → Moisturise

At night, follow your routine through to moisturising. Treatment steps can be adjusted to suit your skin.

EXTRA CARE

Give your skin a little extra support.

TEEN SKIN TIP

More skincare isn't always better skincare.

Over-cleansing, constantly switching products or piling on treatments can make it harder to understand what your skin actually likes.

GOOD TO KNOW

Not necessarily. Over-cleansing can leave skin feeling stripped and uncomfortable. Keep your routine simple and cleanse gently in the morning and evening, as well as after heavy sweating when needed.

Yes. Oily-feeling and breakout-prone skin still needs hydration. A suitable moisturiser helps keep your routine balanced, so don't automatically skip this step because your skin produces excess oil.

Use the mask as a weekly treatment according to the directions on the product. It should complement your everyday routine rather than replace your cleanser, moisturiser or other daily skincare steps.

More isn't always better. Introducing several products at once can make it difficult to understand what works for your skin. Start with a simple routine, introduce new products thoughtfully and give your skin time to adjust.

If breakouts are severe, painful, persistent, causing scarring or affecting your wellbeing, speak to a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist for personalised advice.
