Bare minimum skincare routine - Bare Necessity Kit

As a teenager, taking care of your skin may not be your top priority, but it's important to establish a bare-minimum skincare routine that you can do every day. This routine should include cleansing and moisturising as the key aspects, and consistency is key.

First, let's talk about cleansing. Cleansing is the process of removing dirt, oil, and other impurities from your skin. It's important to wash your face every day, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. When you don't wash your face regularly, dirt and oil can build up on your skin, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts.

To cleanse your skin, use a gentle cleanser that's suitable for your skin type. Wet your face with warm water, apply the cleanser, and gently massage it into your skin. Rinse your face with water and pat it dry with a clean towel. You should aim to wash your face at least once a day (best twice a day), preferably before bed, to remove any makeup, dirt, and oil that have accumulated throughout the day. If you are particularly sporty or sweat a lot this step is even more essential, doing so regularly and soon after excessive sweating will help reduce the likelihood of breakouts.

The second key aspect of a bare-minimum skincare routine is Moisturising. Moisturising is important because it helps to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. When you don't moisturise, your skin can become dry and irritated, which can lead to flakiness, excess oil production, itching, and even breakouts. So to keep your skin looking it’s best don’t skip this step, and make sure you incorporate this at least daily.

To moisturise your skin, use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser that's suitable for your skin type. Apply the moisturiser to your face and neck in gentle, upward strokes. It's important to moisturise your skin every day, preferably after cleansing, to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Even better and as every Dermatologists would suggest, wear a moisturiser that has an SPF of at least 30.

Consistency is key when it comes to a bare-minimum skincare routine. It's important to establish a routine that you can do every day, even when you're tired or busy. Consistency will help you see the benefits of a skincare routine, and it will help you establish good habits that will benefit your skin in the long run.

When you don't take care of your skin, it can have negative impacts on your skin health. Skipping cleansing can lead to clogged pores and breakouts, and skipping moisturizing can lead to dry, irritated skin. Over time, neglecting your skin can lead to premature aging, worsened breakouts, fine lines, and wrinkles.

In conclusion, establishing a bare-minimum skincare routine is important for teenagers. Cleansing and moisturising are the key aspects of this routine, and consistency is key. When you take care of your skin, you'll see the benefits in the form of healthy, hydrated, and glowing skin. So make it a priority to take care of your skin every day and establish good habits that will benefit your skin in the long run.

At Bare Addiction we make the bare-minimum routine easy, with our Bare Necessity kit. This includes a 150ml Cleanser, 50ml Day Cream with an SPF30 and a rapid action Spot Cream 15ml (choose our giftset option if you are buying this as a gift, you get a toiletry bag, cleansing brush and headband). Use the cleanser once to twice a day, followed by applying the spot cream to current breakouts or areas of concern, and then finally apply the day cream. We added the spot cream, because if you have oily or acne-prone skin then you are probably dealing with pesky spots, so use this cream to get them under control.

TOP TIP: You can apply the day cream, day or night, despite having an SPF it doesn’t harm your skin overnight. It’s better to moisturise after cleansing than skipping moisturising.
