Healthy Beginnings: Pre-Teen Girls' Skincare Essentials
During the ages of 8-12 (commonly 10 years old), girl's especially, can start to experience hormonal changes that will start to change their skin. This could result in areas starting to shine, dry patches, small spots, or even blackheads.
Quite often this will occur around the T-zone of the face; the forehead, nose and chin. The hard part is tween girls normally have combination skin at this age. Which means part of their face, usually the cheeks and near the eyes are still sensitive and not experiencing the same hormonal changes.
That's why we recommend using 'treatment' products like the cleanser, serum and spot cream on those areas, and use the moisturisers for the whole face. See our guide for more information.

Dermatologist-Crafted Routines for Developing Pre-Teen Skin
A consistent, age-appropriate routine is the foundation of lasting skin health. Pre-teen girls are just starting to learn about skincare, which is why we've created a range that grows with them. Our range is perfect for young skin that is experiencing hormonal changes.
Our products have been developed with dermatologists to gently support the transition from childhood to the teenage years, addressing early skincare concerns with ease and care. Explore our 4 step routine, especially designed for pre-teen girls' skin aged 8-12, to target oily skin, dry patches, blackheads and early breakouts!
In particular we get asked, what's the best skincare for 10 year old girls. It's very dependent on their skin, and with any tween girl, you should apply our range as suited to their skin. For example, target problem prone areas with the cleanser and serum, and use our moisturisers for the sensitive areas. See our popular ranges here:
If you are a pre-teen or you have a pre-teen girl, and she is experiencing these changes, then this is the range for you!
We have formulated our products with dermatologists to be gentle, safe and effective on young skin. For 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 year old tween girls we recommend to start small and build up:
- Cleanse once a day at night, and wash the face in the morning with just water for the first week. Then move to twice a day if needed. Avoid sensitive areas like the cheeks and eyes. This is a targeted cleanser to clear spots and oily skin.
- Use our serum after the first week of just cleansing, and use it just at night after the cleanser. Move to twice a day if needed.
- Use the day and night cream every day, especially after cleansing. It's important to always moisturise after cleansing/washing the face.
- Apply the spot cream day and night, after washing the face. Apply directly to spots, or areas likely to breakout.

Understanding Pre-Teen Female Skin: Gentle Changes
What Pre-Teen Girls’ Skin Really Needs
The pre-teen/tween years bring about the start of the skin's evolution, gently laying the groundwork for the teen years. This early phase may not have the dramatic shifts seen in later years, but it's the perfect time to introduce mindful and consistent skincare habits.
For pre-teen girls, sustaining a healthy glow involves more than occasional cleansing; it requires a thoughtful selection of products designed for youthful skin. Gentle and natural ingredients are key, avoiding harsh elements for tender skin.
Our products focus on effective yet sensitive care, with soft cleansers and lightweight moisturisers that respect the young skin's natural balance. Our four step routine has been crafted to target hormonal changes that pre-teen skin as young as 8 can experience. We suggest using our cleanser and serum for areas showing hormonal changes, and the mositurisers for the whole face.
Bare addiction simplifies skincare for pre-teens, addressing their early skin needs with a gentle morning and evening routine:
- The AM routine is about hydrating and protecting the skin for the day, while;
- The PM routine is tailored for light cleansing and supporting the skin’s natural barrier.
Regular use helps manage the first signs of shine and spots and provides a foundation for future skin health. We advise that for pre-teen skin that if they don’t have any oily skin, spots, or reddened skin to only use the day and night cream, to protect the skin during the day and rejuvenate the skin at night. To combat rough patches, then add the cleanser in once a day at night. If they do have hormonal skin concerns, then the full routine is suitable for young, sensitive skin.
