Best Face Wash for Teenagers

Are you ready for the best face wash for teenagers? I’ve got a few of them to share with YOU! We’ve officially hit the moment where face washes are a must for my teens. Nobody wants acne and pimples, skincare starts when you’re a teen.

Best Face Wash for Teenagers

Best Face Wash for Teens

You can’t always prevent acne and pimples and blackheads, but you can do what you can to keep your face clean as can be. I have 4 sons that are 15, 14, 13 and 12 and I’ve been having them do skincare routines for the last few years. I’ve talked about my personal pick for the best face wash for teenagers before, but I want to share a few more.

 

 

I’m always asked by my friends and readers to share my favorite and best face wash for teen boys (since I have so many). I have to tell you, there are a bunch of them out there that I love for teen skin, especially boys. I know my sons sweat a lot and that can cause dirt and oil build up if they’re not washing and taking care of their skin.

My biggest piece of advice when it comes to the best face wash for teenagers is to find one that works perfectly for your teen and have them use it around the clock. Don’t make it be a one and done kind of thing. Make sure they’re taking care of their skin every single night. It’s a pain, but it’s essential.

Best Face Wash for Teenagers - Audrey McClelland

I will write another post on the best face wash for tweens because I do know that their skin is a little more sensitive and delicate. I do have my son Henry (who is 12) use the face wash that I buy his brothers, but I didn’t do that for my William (my oldest) when he was 12. I went for face washes best for tweens.

When it comes to naming the products below the “best face wash for teenagers” I want to make sure I let you know that we have used all of these. I would never share a product my own kids haven’t tried. I know many moms will share what they love, but it’s important to see up close and personal.

Teens and Finance

My sons also like these products, too. Their only “requirement” was that it didn’t smell bad. Sounds like a teenager, right? I was reading the label to see what it promises to do and what ingredients are in it and all they cared about was smell. So… the products below made the “smell” cut, too!

Best Face Wash for Teenagers:

CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser – I love this one because it’s a foaming cleaner. I feel like foams work really well with my sons when they’re “lathering” up to clean their face.

Avoid your eyeballs, but feel free to clean your neck.

Rinse thoroughly then pat dry with a towel.

I hope these help you when it comes to trying to figure out the best face wash for teenagers. I didn’t want to give too many because (honestly) I love the 4 of these and they work great. My biggest piece of advice is to buy one, try one and see how it goes.

Ask you teen how their skin feels.

Keep an eye on their skin and see how it’s reacting.

Make sure you are happy with the results in one week, one month and then 3 months.
