Natural Skincare Products for Teens

Natural and organic skincare for teens and tweens that will nourish their skin with close to nature ingredients, rather than bombard their young skin with harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances of other brands on the youth skincare market! At Biome, you'll find reasonably priced products given the highly quality, concentrated ingredients.

As teenagers go through massive changes in their development, harmful chemicals can have more of an influence in their growing bodies. By fully disclosing ingredients, natural skin care teenager brands encourage a new generation of label awareness. Introduce your young women to natural, kind ingredients.

For a teenage skincare kit, think Cleanser or Face Wash, Exfoliate/Mask, and Moisturiser.  A toner is not essential for face care for teenage boys and girls but can assist those with oily skin.  A topical treatment for specific blemishes can also be helpful.  

 1. Cleanse

Daily facial cleansing will remove the dirt, excess oil, dead skin cells and unwanted debris that may lead to acne. It will leave skin feeling clean and fresh. It's best to cleanse twice daily, in the morning and at night. If wearing an SPF during the day (highly recommended!), a double cleanse at night might be needed to remove all of the product.

Dindi Naturals Blackberry Facial Cleansing Bar

This creamy, lathering facial cleansing bar features potent plant extracts and salicylic acid, a powerful BHA that penetrates deep to clear the pores and dislodge blackheads. It also provides a boost of Vitamin C, which is known to reduce acne-related inflammation and brighten skin.  Containing neem oil, it is a really great option for oily and blemish-prone skin types.

Bear in mind salicylic acid is a strong exfoliant, and while the percentage of salicylic acid in this product isn't high and it is safe to use daily, it is recommended teens start off using it 2-3 times a week and work their way up to daily use.

Konjac Sponge

Konjac sponges are the most gentle and cost effective face cleansers, and for many teens are all that is needed.  Just make sure that the sponge is rinsed and left to dry out between uses so that it does not harbour bacteria.

Noosa Basics Foaming Face Wash for Acne-prone Skin

Noosa Basics foaming cleanser for acne prone skin has calming, antibacterial properties, and is gentle for daily use. Willow bark and tea tree gently cleanse and removes surface impurities, while Neroli hydrosol, a natural astringent, works to visibly tighten and tone the skin.

Ideal for those with blemish prone skin or just starting out with a skin care routine.

Herbae Thylacini Skin Treat

This incredible therapeutic herbal cleanser, micro-exfoliator and mask harnesses the power of 12 herbal extracts, botanical powders and cold-pressed unrefined oils to form the basis of a water-free skin care regimen. The unique native formula gently removes impurities, sunscreen and make-up while delivering nourishing bioactive compounds, revealing healthy glowing skin.

2. Tone

Toners are not necessary, but they can be a great help for a teen's oily skin or markedly blocked pores.  After cleansing, spritz on the face, or wipe over the skin using a clean reusable makeup pad.  

Biome 100% Pure Organic Witch Hazel

Pre Witch hazel distilled straight from the plant, is one of nature's best astringents and is excellent at soothing inflamed skin due to acne, but you want to make sure you choose a witch hazel that is alcohol free, like Biome's 100% pure witch hazel. Most contain alcohol as a cheaper filler, and those with alcohol can be very irritating and drying, disrupting the skin's barrier function.

Botanical Blessings Herbal Face Toner

This face toner, infused with 15 specially formulated botanicals, works to clear pore congestion and hydrate skin. It is beautifully soothing, smells great and is alcohol free.

3. Moisturise

After cleansing, a moisturiser will balance the skin's pH. Even if your teen has oily skin, a hydrating moisturiser is still an important step. Not using a moisturiser may result in the skin over compensating and producing even more sebum than usual, which in turn may lead to acne.

Biome's Light Unscented Face Cream

The best value, affordable face moisturiser is Biome's Be.UNITY Face Cream.  100ml in volume, and a little goes a long way, so use sparingly, especially if the teen applies when the skin is still a little moist.

Biome's face cream is a simple, light and creamy, unscented palm oil free moisturiser made with 100% natural ingredients, enriched with nourishing plant oils and shea butter. Its non-greasy formula is great for all skin types, including sensitive and acne prone skin. 

For tweens and teenagers, we recommend the Unscented as even essential oils can irritate young skin and cause redness.

4. Exfoliate

Exfoliating is a great way to remove dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin, which can lead to acne.

Use an exfoliator 1-2 times a week after cleansing.

After exfoliating, skin will feel smooth and extra clean, so it's really tempting to do it more frequently. But, it's important that you do not!  Exfoliating more frequently than 1-2 times a week can lead to even more breakouts and irritation. 

Teenagers and anyone starting to exfoliate anew, should be careful to only rub very gently. 

Corrynne's French Limoges Clay Face Block

Corrynne's luxurious block of French Limoges clay acts as both a gentle exfoliant and a purifying mask. Run the block under some water and swirl in circles over a clean, moist face. Leave for 10 minutes if using as a mask, or rinse straight away. The French clay will draw out impurities and leave skin feeling silky and smooth. Place the clay block somewhere where it can dry out properly in between uses, like a windowsill, resting on a wooden soap block.

Corrynne's Face Wash With Exfoliating Pumice

Corrynne's exfoliating clay and pumice powder face wash to exfoliate skin while drawing out impurities, clearing pores and helping regulate oil production, is ideal for teen and troubled skin.  

4. Topical Treatments

Topical spot treatments can be applied to acne as soon as you notice it appearing. They may help soothe the area and fastrack healing.

Noosa Basics Acne Spot Drying Lotion

A fast acting formula that visibly improves the appearance of acne and blemishes overnight. Made with a blend of antibacterial essential oils, calamine powder and salicylic acid, it is suitable for all skin types, especially acne prone. Buy Acne Spot lotion here.
