Teen's Facial
Clean + Clarify + Learn How to Take Care of Your Skin
Teenage skin can be frustrating.
Hormonal changes, sports, sweat, sunscreen, makeup and increased oil production can all contribute to blackheads, clogged pores, breakouts and acne. And with an endless amount of skincare advice coming from social media, figuring out what you should actually put on your face can become even more confusing.
Our Teen Cleansing & Clarifying Facial gives teens a professional deep clean while helping them understand what their skin needs — without making acne something to be embarrassed about.
Whether we’re dealing with the occasional breakout or the beginning of more persistent congestion, our goal is to help get the skin cleaner, calmer and moving in the right direction.
A Facial Designed With Teenage Skin in Mind
Our Teen Facial is based on our Cleansing & Clarifying Facial, with the treatment focused specifically on the concerns we commonly see in teenage skin.
We begin with a thorough double cleanse using Vitamin Veil Cleanser and Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser to remove oil, sweat, sunscreen, makeup and everyday buildup.
Next, we use our Cocoa Enzyme Set for gentle exfoliation. This helps loosen accumulated dead skin cells and prepares clogged pores for extractions.
If there are blackheads or congested pores, we’ll carefully perform extractions where appropriate and use Spot Stop on areas that need some additional attention.
From there, we customize the treatment based on what the skin needs. We may use Vitamin C Reversal Serum for antioxidant support or Hydralox if the skin is dry or dehydrated.
We finish with our Green Tea Mask, Aloe Calendula Mist and Light Day Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 37 to leave the skin feeling clean, refreshed and cared for.
Acne Doesn’t Mean Your Skin Is Dirty
This is something we want teens to understand early.
Acne can be influenced by hormones, oil production, clogged follicles, bacteria, inflammation, genetics and everyday habits. Having breakouts doesn’t mean someone isn’t washing their face enough.
And aggressively scrubbing acne usually isn’t the answer either.
Over-cleansing, picking at blemishes and constantly switching between strong skincare products can leave already irritated skin even more unhappy.
Instead, we want to help teens learn how to cleanse consistently, manage congestion, protect their skin and recognize when something needs more attention.
We’ll Take Care of the Blackheads
For teens dealing with blackheads and clogged pores, professional extractions can be one of the most helpful parts of the facial.
After cleansing and enzymatic exfoliation have properly prepared the skin, we’ll carefully extract congestion that’s appropriate to remove.
We aren’t going to squeeze every bump we see.
Some blemishes shouldn’t be extracted, particularly when they’re inflamed. Being too aggressive can create additional irritation and increase the chances of lingering marks afterward.
We’d rather teach teens to leave those blemishes alone than encourage the idea that every breakout needs to be popped.
When Teenage Acne Needs More Than a Maintenance Facial
The Teen Facial is a great starting point for mild acne, blackheads, clogged pores, occasional breakouts and routine skincare maintenance.
If acne becomes more significant, we can adjust the plan.
For teens with heavier congestion or a larger percentage of the face affected by blackheads and pimples, our Deep Cleansing & Clarifying Acne Facial may be more appropriate. That treatment gives us additional time for double extractions and incorporates our Oxygen Rx treatment.
If breakouts are leaving behind dark spots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, we can address that too — but our first priority is getting active acne and inflammation under better control.
We don’t need to throw every treatment at teenage skin at once.
Good Skincare Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
One of the best things we can teach a teenager about skincare is that consistency usually matters more than having a bathroom full of products.
For basic home care, we may recommend Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser, Vitamin C Reversal Serum and Broad Spectrum SPF 37.
If acne or congestion requires something more targeted, we’ll explain what we recommend and why.
We also want teens to think about the things touching their face every day.
Phones, pillowcases, makeup brushes, sports equipment, helmets and hats can all collect oil, sweat and buildup. Keeping those items clean and washing the face after heavy sweating can become an important part of managing breakout-prone skin.
Simple habits add up.
And Please, Try Not to Pick
We know. It’s tempting.
But repeatedly squeezing and picking at breakouts can increase inflammation, damage the surrounding skin and make those pimples more likely to leave behind lingering discoloration.
If picking is a habit, we’ll help find better ways to manage individual breakouts and teach your teen what they can do when a new blemish appears.
The goal isn’t perfect skin.
It’s healthier habits and better-managed skin.
