Remember this little terror?  She's not so little any more!  She just turned 13 this summer and is having some acne issues. She asked me about face wash. What do you tween/young teen moms recommend? |

My dd is also 13 and while she hasn't had serious acne problems, she does tend to get the occasional pimple, which she hates. She's used the Neutrogena grapefruit line for both her face and body, and it's been great for her. She started out with the face wash with the beads in it, but I bought her a Clarisonic Mia last fall (which she loves and works wonders on her skin) and now she uses the cream wash without the beads. She loves them.
Hope this helps!

If I had a DD I'd buy her Purity from Philosophy and a Clarasonic. Your DD is so lucky to have a mom interested in helping her. My mom was never good at makeup or clothes.

Thanks for the suggestions! Just to clarify, I'm the Auntie. She is visiting us for a few weeks this summer.
I have the Clarisonic Mia myself and could barely stand paying that much myself lol. I was worried it might be "too much" for her young skin. Good to hear it's good for that age.

How did she get soooo old?!?!?! That first picture of her is an absolute classic.
Wish I could help you on the acne, but I'm 43 and still breaking out and not able to control it so don't take any advice from me.

Clean and clear was recommended from my derma. I personally didn't have acne as a kid, but got it for a spell after having each of my kids. My DD has been clear of it so far. She is 14 1/2. My DS is 11 and not quit there yet.

She does use an apricot scrub weekly. |

My youngest son is the same age, he uses Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser. It works great for him .

DD is 14 and uses Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Cleanser. She also uses a topical RX that the derm recommended (Atralin).

All great suggestions! Sounds like it's a "try it and see what works" kind of thing...just like adults lol I still break out, too. I think the universe should give you a break. If you have to use anti-aging stuff, you shouldn't have to use zit stuff!

Try the Simple Spotless range. It works for both my DSs, and doesn't strip their skin. I had to buy it off ebay from the UK before it was released in Australia. It really is that good. Not expensive either.
