It might be difficult to find the best new skin care products for teens. Teens tend to have more sensitive skin and are more prone to acne flare-ups than adults. It is good then to try to determine your teen's skin type.

Have you heard of the dry tissue test? You take a plain tissue (no lotion or medicated vapors) and shortly after your teen rises, have them wipe their face with the tissue.

If there is oil on the tissue your teen has oily skin, if oil is only on the center panel they have combination skin, and if the tissue is dry they have either normal skin or dry skin. In order to test for dry skin, have your teen wash their face with non-oil based soap.

That's it and if in a few minutes their skin begins to feel tight or like it's being pulled tight they have dry skin. There is no real test that can determine sensitive skin you and your teen will recognize sensitive skin if they skin irritations from their normal daily care routine.

Let's take a look at finding the best product for your teen. I think you would want one that addresses their tendency toward acne flare-ups as well as when their skin is relatively clear. Take a look at products on store shelves pick one and read the label.

Let's see if I can help you recognize particular ingredients of the product you are interested in. Do you see parabens listed (preservatives)? Parabens are known to be carcinogenic. Do you see paraffin on the label (mineral oil)? This will harm your skin in the long run. It kind of "seals" your skin so it can't release toxins.

What about fragrances are they on the label? Fragrances may be made with toxic substances as well. Do you see alcohols on the label, if they are they are probably petroleum based alcohols that is very drying to your teen's skin.

All of these ingredients have connections with the occurrences of some forms of cancer, depression, and stress disorders. Research continues to see if a connection between these ingredients and other health conditions exist.

There are wonderful all-natural alternate ingredients that will give great results without harmful side effects for your teen (and you).
