My Skin Was a Mess at 12—Here’s What Finally Worked

I remember staring at my reflection, wondering why my cheeks were always shiny but my nose felt dry. If you’re 11, 12, or 13 and totally confused by skincare, you’re not alone. Here’s what actually helps (and what just clogs your pores): 🧼 Gentle face wash, twice a day—no scrubbing, no harsh scents. Your skin will thank you! 💧 Gel or water-based moisturizer keeps your face comfy, not greasy. Look for words like “noncomedogenic.” 🧴 SPF 30+ every morning—even if it’s cloudy. Sun damage is sneaky! 🍏 Snack on fruit, not fries. Your skin shows what you eat. Your skin is unique—don’t stress if it’s not perfect.
