5 Products to Help Your Teen Through Prom Season

If you’ve got a teen who’s in their last year of school then you’re probably well aware that as soon as Christmas is over, prom preparation begins, which means hours of researching an shopping for dresses, hair appointments and make-up sessions. The teen years can be really difficult if they struggle with blemishes or acne and it will be all the more angst-inducing now, so we’ve put together a selection of products which could really help them to get control of their skin in the coming weeks.

Dermalogica Daytime Treatment

Acne and breakout prone skin may seem like it’s moist enough, but it’s actually really important to use a moisturiser even when you feel like you don’t need one. This daytime treatment from the Dermalogica Clear Start range is a lightweight formulation which helps to regulate sebum production and contains anti-bacterial components which actually kill the root cause of the spots before they have a chance to develop.

Dermalogica Emergency Spot Fix

If breakouts do happen at critical times (like, the night before the prom!) then this potent topical application will target the spot-causing bacteria and kill it in its stride. It also contains several powerful, naturally-occurring ingredients such as green tea and licorice which reduce inflammation and redness, making the blemish appear less angry.

Dermalogica Pore Control Scrub

Keeping acne-prone skin clean is of the utmost importance, as is making sure your products don’t irritate the skin further. This scrub removes dirt and dead skin cells from the skin whilst employing natural clays to soak up excess sebum, ensuring teen skin is spotless…both literally and figuratively!

Dermalogica Overnight Treatment

It’s important to take care of skin during sleep hours as this is often the time when spots develop, so using Dermalogica’s Overnight Treatment is a really great idea. It soothes over-stimulated skin, thus reducing the skin’s need to produce sebum which will halt one of the main causes of acneic breakouts. Use after cleansing and toning before bed for the best results.

Dermalogica Matte Moisturiser SPF15

If your teen has particularly sensitive skin, then the sun can actually be a problem as over-exposure will play havoc with oil production and can damage the surface of the skin. Encouraging your teen to use a moisturiser which is both suitable for acne-prone skin and containing an SPF could help to protect their skin in the long run and will also help them to form good habits for later in life, ensuring that the signs of ageing don’t appear in an untimely fashion.

Go back a couple of decades and “proms” were something that most people only heard about through American TV shows and films, but fast forward to 2016 and proms are big news here in the UK. The end-of-year ritual has become a tradition with kids in either year 11, once they’re done with their G.C.S.E’s or sixth form leavers once they’re ready for Uni or the big working world, and it’s becoming an expensive business.

Kids are expecting snazzy outfits, hair and make-up, professionally done nails and even limos to arrive and leave in. We thought we’d take a look at some stunning hairstyles for girls which are actually really easy and can be done at home, so you can save some money on the big day! Don’t forget to prep the hair by washing with Dermalogica Shine Therapy Shampoo and finish with Dermalogica Silk Finish Conditioner for great results.

Statement Pony

Statement Pony

It’s good to remember that you’re young enough to get away with fun hairstyles and at 16 (or even 18) something age-appropriate can look so much cuter than straight up Hollywood glamour. This statement pony works on hair of almost all textures and is SO easy to do. It actually works better on hair which hasn’t been washed for a day or two and can be achieved with little more than a brush, a couple of elastics and a can of hairspray.

Side Twists

rolled updo

Another super simple look is this updo which simply twists the hair away from the face and needs to be secured with bobby pins. Don’t twist too tightly as it will look quite severe and stuck to your head, so make sure you keep the twists semi-loose and gather in any stray hairs as you go.

Curly Bun

This style works really well if you have curly or afro hair – it’s a simple bun but instead of scraping the hair back so it’s flat against your head, the texture of your hair is allowed to shine through, giving a relaxed but pretty look. Apply a curling cream or serum to your hair, allow it to dry naturally and then use a statement hair accessory which matches or accents your dress to make this simple hairstyle really work.

Sleek Pony

Sleek Pony

By contrast, a super-sleek ponytail can look totally glam when paired with a beautiful gown but it takes a little work to get things really smooth. Use a smoothing serum on your hair while it’s wet and then once you’ve dried your hair, straighten it with straightening irons. Use a paddle brush to sweep the hair back, and secure with a hair-band, then wrap a section of your hair around the brush for a sophisticated look. Finish with a good spray of hairspray to keep everything in place.

Loose Bun

Loose Bun

This is probably the easiest hair-do on the list to do as it literally just involves some back-combing, sweeping back with a hair-band and some bobby pins, and can even be done on unwashed hair. However, the final look is all in the accessories and this is a great hair style if you’re wearing a tiara and want to make the top of your head ALL about your bling!
