Teens for Safe Cosmetics Get Moisturized


Our teens share some of their moisturizing secrets, focusing on a slippery issue - oil.

It is a common misconception, especially among teenagers, that if your skin is oily, you don't need to moisturize. Not true. Keeping the epidermis hydrated, no matter what your skin type, is about protecting it and keeping it healthy. Think about it: our skin is our largest organ and is always partially exposed - it braves the outdoor elements, especially in the winter and indoors where forced air and hot water dries it out (another reason to turn down your thermostats). No matter what environment you live in, protect your epidermis and enhance its repair processes with a fabulous moisturizer!

Weleda Wild Rose Moisture Cream

Weleda Wild Rose is a light moisturizer that absorbs quickly, and, unlike most moisturizers, does not leave a heavy residue on your skin. It is great for all skin types. It contains Orpine, Myrrh and Horsetail plant extracts, which give your skin a radiant glow; and Jojoba oil and Rosehip oil that protect your skin by locking in the moisture, especially if you use a hydrating spray. The rose and other natural essential oils give it a natural fresh scent without overpowering your senses. And, if you keep your skin clean and use Weleda daily, you'll notice that your skin feels and looks healthier! A little bit of it goes a long way! $25

Pomega5 Revitalizing Essential Moisture

Afraid of moisturizers? Can't help but picture them as oily, thick and pore-clogging? Most moisturizers usually sit half-full on your medicine cabinet shelf? Try Pomega5, we are pretty confident that it will be a perfect match. The light consistency of the product takes a minute to absorb into your skin - and works flawlessly. The essential fatty acids avoid oily residue and are very hydrating. Your skin will feel absolutely amazing. Since it is botanically-preserved, it is best kept cool. At $48 it is a little rich for many teens, but your skin will be in fashion long after your jeans are obsolete.

Grateful Body Daily Facial Therapy

This lotion not only provides instant moisture, it also soothes all skin irritations. The texture is creamy yet light enough to absorb quickly. It is also great at clearing up rashes or redness. We love the feel of this moisturizer and appreciate the skin-specific solutions! $32

Dr. Hauschka's Normalizing Day Oil

This oil is an absolute must-have for teens. If you have acne prone skin, this is a essential! Oil often gets an immediate negative reaction from people with oily skin, but we produce oil when our skin is lacking, often stripped away by the environment or harsh cleansers, so the thought is, if you give your skin some external oil, it will all balance out. Your face will stay hydrated and moist and you'll have less acne or clogged pores. Just make sure that you cleanse well before applying the Normalizing Day Oil. It is long-lasting, has a gentle aroma and you see and feel immediate results. $39
