The Do's of Teenage Skincare Here are some general tips for teenage skincare: Use a toner to help balance the pH of your skin and remove any remaining impurities. Be patient with your skin. Everyone's skin is different, and it may take some time to find the right routine that works for you. Cleanse your skin twice daily with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser to remove dirt and oil. Keep your hair and hands away from your face as much as possible to avoid introducing bacteria and oil to your skin.
