Dear mommas of tweens & teens,
If your tween or teen is begging for a $70 anti-aging serum they spotted on TikTok 😂 allow me to step in and save you (and their skin)!
Here’s a quick little skincare cheat sheet to show what tweens & teens really need (and nothing extra!):
Ages 7–9:
🫧 Gentle cleanser
💧 Light moisturizer
☀️ Sunscreen
Ages 10–12:
Same basics +
✨ Gentle exfoliation 1–2x/week
Ages 13–15:
🫧 Gentle or acne-friendly cleanser
💧 Non-comedogenic moisturizer
☀️ SPF
🎯 Spot treatment
🧴 Optional alcohol-free toner
Ages 16–17:
Basic routine +
✨ Optional niacinamide or hyaluronic acid
(Still NO strong actives!)
Hard NOs:
Retinol, vitamin C, peels, harsh scrubs, anti-aging products, fancy gadgets, or 17-step routines. 🙅♀️
Want safe, budget-friendly skincare options for your tween or teen? I’ve got you! 💕
And guess what? We can totally make it fun with a Young Girls Night In—in person or virtual! ✨
How many times do you snap a pic and go back later to realize the moment has passed and the picture is terrible! We celebrated Thanksgiving a week early to be able to all be together *not in this picture @mikehatcher777 & Luanne davis* but now I’m looking at the ONLY picture from today and realize how terrible it is. The moment has passed and I am choosing to cherish this not perfectly curated picture of my family. #thanksgiving2025 #family #notperfect #choosegratefulness
