Skincare in your teens: Cleanse, Exfoliate, Protect: Dr. Timm Golueke believes “as a teenager, the most important skincare step is cleansing.” During your teens, your hormones surge so it's best to “keep your skin exfoliated". Dr. Wu suggests looking for “clay containing products which have natural antiseptic and astringent properties,” and recommends Skinfix Foaming Clay Cleanser, $20, to her teen patients. Dr. Timm Golueke says “to use SPF because often when a pimple is healing and it’s exposed to the sun, it will leave hyperpigmentation.”
