End to Acne

Time For a Clean Start

Puberty may liberate hormones and open the door to all the opportunities of adulthood but for many it also brings with it a struggle with skin that makes life for millions a misery. Said struggle can also last into adulthood and what’s the general response? The picking, poking and popping of breakouts, or a make up mask to try and disguise what’s going on. Needless to say, these courses of action only make things worse, which is why you need to instil a daily health routine for your skin, at the earliest age possible.

Into this vacuum of daily teen skin care, steps Clean Start from Dermalogica ‐ formulated specifically for teens to enable them to form healthy skin habits, early. The emphasis is on skin health ‐ not beauty and Clean Start doesn’t contain artificial fragrances or colours, stripping alcohol or other aggressive ingredients, which are irritating to the skin, and are often found in many products currently available for teenagers. Here’s what you can pick and choose from, in the range.

Getting Clean

Wash Off (£14.00) This is your foaming face wash base for use ‐ on your face and on your back. It clears trapped oils, wipes out breakout causing bacteria and helps prevent future breakouts. The botanical extracts in this badger help regulate oil production, the Salicylic Acid minimises acne formation, the orange peel adds zest to your wash and the liquorice (yes liquorice) actually soothes angry skin. You’ll never look at Berty Basset the same way again …

All Over Clear (£12.00) After the cleanse opens the pores to take out the trash, you gotta close them again before any rubbish crawls back in. All Over Clear is a toner that does just that and again you can use it on both the face and the body, at any time. This spray mist not only makes you feel glam but also controls oily shine and prevents breakouts. It uses a sesame seed extract to control said oil and shine, whilst lemongrass makes you want to go back and use it and burdock extract follows up with a little hydration.

In a Nutshell

Clean Start cuts through the hype and provides products which deliver results. During the development stages, a council of teens and young adults assisted with the naming, labelling and packaging copy, and tested the products to decide what worked and what didn’t. This has given the range a ‐ created by us, for us feel ‐ so that you guys feel like the regime is working – because quite simply, it is. Clean Start won’t cure mood swings and solitary behaviour but it will chart a course to protected, healthy and clean skin. Check out cleanstart.dermalogica.com for all the details.
