11 Skin And Body Essentials For Your Growing Tween

From gentle yet effective cleansers to multi-use moisturisers, these skin and body essentials will keep up with your growing child.

It’s never too early to start your tweens off on a basic skin and body care regime. As they come into puberty and start becoming more aware of their appearance, equipping them with a baseline understanding of how to care for their skin is something that they can reap benefits from in the longer term.

Don’t get us wrong: we aren’t advocating dropping a cool $500 on a jar of face cream.

Instead, we’re all about accessible products that you can find in most drugstores, and products that can keep up with our tweens’ active lifestyles. We know you’ll want products that have multiple benefits – they’re kids, they don’t need a 5-step regime! – and we want key active ingredients that help with tween skin problems like acne and sun damage.

From gentle-yet-thorough face cleansers, moisturising sunscreens to affordable body washes that won’t damage your tween’s skin, here are some of our fave products.

11 Skin And Body Essentials For Your Growing Tween
Dr. Belmeur Amino Clear Foaming Cleanser For Acne-Prone Skin, $23, from The Face Shop
image

Formulated with salicylic acid and ginger extracts, this foaming cleanser gently purifies and exfoliates skin to remove the build up of daily grime. Amino acid is used to retain the skin’s natural barrier, thereby restoring it after each cleanse.

Buy it here.

Hydrating Cleanser (Suitable For Normal To Dry Skin), $29.90, from CeraVe at Watsons
image

Cleansers can leave our tweens with dry skin, so a hydrating cleansing gel is key to avoiding this. CeraVe’s Hydrating Cleanser comes formulated with hyaluronic acid to draw moisture back into the skin, while ceramides work to lock in moisture and prevent moisture loss.

Buy it here.

Reset Acai & Manuka Honey Nourishing Cleanser, $48, from PSA at Sephora
image

Given that our tweens spend plenty of time out of the house with friends or playing sports, you want a cleanser that is effective without stripping the skin in the process. PSA’s cleanser removes any dirt or pollution build-up, without the feeling of dry or tight skin after.

Buy it here.

Avene Hydrance Optimale UV Rich SPF20, $50.90, from Avene at Guardian
image

With a low SPF level already included in its formulation, this gentle moisturiser helps provide a baseline protection for your kid’s skin, while promising to hydrate their skin post-cleanse. A little goes a long way, and we recommend following with a sunscreen for added UV protection.

Buy it here.

Simply Better Barrier™, $45, from Kansoskin
image

Made by local skincare brand Kansoskin, this moisturiser is perfect for those living with sensitive skin. It’s formulated to lock in moisture and restore the skin’s natural barrier mantle. Beyond using it as a facial moisturiser, it can be used anywhere on the body too.

Buy it here.

Supreme Screen Hydrating Facial Skinscreen SPF 50+, $52, from Ultra Violette at Sephora
image

Like we said, we want products that have multiple benefits. For our tweens who are always on the go, this means a sunscreen that provides adequate protection from UV damage and also doubles up as a moisturiser, and this one from Ultra Violette does the trick.

Buy it here.

Sun Lotion for Body Extra Light SPF50, $24.15, from Eucerin at Watsons
image

It’s not just their faces that need protection, so keep a body sun lotion on hand for those sport days (or beach days with the family) in your tween’s skincare cabinet. Formulated to be non-sticky and water-resistant, this Eucerin sunscreen is great for all skin types – even sensitive ones.

Buy it here.

Spring Natural Deodorant, $33, from Coconut Matter at SocietyA
image

Hong Kong-based brand Coconut Matter was founded to provide all-natural products that do away with nasty sulphates and parabens. Their coconut-based deodorants help neutralise odour-causing bacteria without blocking sweat glands, and come in an array of different scents that your kid will love. Our fave is the floral Spring scent.

Buy it here.

Signature Natural Deodorant, $14.90, from Sukins at Zalora
image

For your sporty kids, a spray-on deodorant in a hardy packaging is essential. Made with a natural formulation of aloe vera, burdock and nettle extracts to help cool and soothe skin, this bottle of deodorant promises to keep them feeling refreshed all day long.

Buy it here.

Kids Head To Toe Wash, $29.90, from Suu Balm at Guardian
image

Using a sulphate, fragrance, paraben and preservative-free formula, Suu Balm gently yet effectively lifts and rids the build up of daily grime and dirt. It is formulated by the National Skin Centre, so you can be rest assured that this will be gentle enough for sensitive or eczema-prone skin types also.

Buy it here.

Red Acne Body Wash, $50.90, from Medicube
image

As your kid hits puberty, body acne is something that they may face. To address this, find a body wash with a low concentration of salicylic acid to help address this concern. Medicube’s body wash also comes with niacinamide for skin barrier restoration and hyaluronic acid for hydration.

Buy it here.
