Teen Skincare 101: A Guide to Clear, Glowing Skin with Avant Skincare

Navigating skincare as a teenager can be overwhelming. Between hormonal changes, breakouts, and trying to figure out what works for your skin, it’s easy to feel lost in the beauty aisle. But the key to healthy, balanced skin isn’t piling on dozens of products — it’s about choosing the right ones that care for your skin gently and effectively. At Avant, we believe in empowering teens with knowledge and high-performance formulas that support skin health without harsh chemicals. Here’s your simple, effective teen skincare routine — plus some expert product picks to get you started.

Step 1: Cleanse - Fight Blemishes Without Stripping

Start your routine with a cleanser that purifies without being too harsh. Teen skin can be acne-prone, but over-drying only makes things worse. Our powerful yet gentle Dynamic Salicylic Acne & Blemish Battling Cleanser uses salicylic acid to unclog pores, reduce breakouts, and refine skin texture. Perfect for daily use, it targets excess oil without compromising your skin’s natural moisture barrier.

Step 2: Remove Makeup and Impurities - Even on Makeup-Free Days

To gently remove makeup, start with our Reusable Makeup Remover Pad. Simply use the pad with water—no additional product needed—to effortlessly wipe away makeup without irritating your skin.

Afterwards, follow up with the Bi-Phase Hyaluronic Acid Rejuvenating Micellar Water to thoroughly cleanse away pollution, excess oil, and any remaining impurities. This two-phase micellar water, enriched with hydrating hyaluronic acid, leaves your skin feeling fresh, soft, and perfectly clean. It’s ideal as a second cleanse or for a quick refresh on the go.

Step 3: Mask - A Weekly Detox for Pores

Once or twice a week, give your pores a deep clean with a treatment mask that also hydrates. Our fun-to-use Deep Pore Oxygenating & Purifying Kaolin Bubble Clay Mask bubbles on contact, drawing out impurities and excess sebum while leaving your skin clearer and more radiant. Perfect for oily or congested teenage skin.

Step 4: Hydration + Sun + Protection

Moisturising is a must, even if your skin is oily. Look for a product that hydrates, soothes, and protects. Ceramides help maintain your skin’s barrier (key for preventing breakouts and irritation), while SPF 20 offers everyday sun protection — the Ceramides Soothing & Protective Day Cream SPF 20 is an essential step in any routine.

Step 5: Don't Forget the Lips

Dry, chapped lips? Exfoliate and nourish them like you do the rest of your face. Our gentle yet effective Velvet Perfecting Rose Sugar Lip Scrub buffs away dead skin, revealing smooth, soft lips. Plus, the rose extract leaves a delicate scent and a touch of luxury.

The bottom line: Less is more. When it comes to teen skincare, consistency and simplicity are key. Stick to a gentle routine, hydrate well, and protect your skin from the sun. Avant’s carefully formulated products are designed to work with your skin — not against it — helping you build a healthy skincare foundation for life.
