Tinted Moisturizer with SPF makes an ideal starting point for the young teen just starting to experiment with cosmetics. When girls first begin to apply their own make up, many have a difficult time knowing the right amount and color to match their skin tone. They may apply too much, which will block pores and lead to more break outs at an age when acne is already a common problem.

Tinted moisturizer with SPF is wonderful for this age bracket for a variety of reasons. First, there is sun protection included. Most teens spend a great deal of time out in the sun and they don’t often or always think of sunscreen, especially in cooler weather. Contrary to many people’s assumptions, skin is still susceptible to harmful effects from the sun, even in the coldest of weather; possibly more so, as many people don’t think to protect their skin during this time period.

Another quality of tinted moisturizer with spf that makes it a good product for teens is the fact that it is hydrating to skin. Teens just starting to use cosmetic products often don’t have a regular skin care routine or are just developing one. The use of a moisturizer on a regular basis will help get them into a routine and to see the physical difference between cared for skin and skin that is only washed and not moisturized. The fact that the tinted moisturizer will smooth skin’s tone without the use of heavy foundation is also wonderful. The lighter application of cosmetic will help keep skin healthy without blocking pores or aggravating areas that may be prone to acne. This also makes for a nice polished appearance that looks natural and clean, rather than overly made up.

Other products that teens may like to use are:

• acne moisturizers
• lip moisturizers or tinted balms
• oil free moisturizers

Tinted moisturizers with spf provide a great first product for teens and young girls to start their cosmetic use as well as to build a moisturizing regiment. Tinted moisturizers are ideal because they are much lighter and easier to apply, so inexperienced teens won’t accidentally apply too much or the wrong shades, leaving that tell take line along their jaw. Teens, as well as adult women, often find that the most natural ingredients, such as those used in Skin Original, have the best effects on their skin and are least likely to cause a negative reaction.
