Skincare for Pre-Teen (Age 7 to 12 years old)
At the age of 7 to 12 years old, it is the perfect time to start introducing them to facial care routines using a gentle facial foam cleanser.
While they may not yet have reached puberty, their active lifestyle means more perspiration especially after strenuous physical activity in humid or warm environment.
It is important for children to form healthy habits in keeping their skin clean. Using normal soap or body wash in the long term may cause dryness and irritation to their skin. At this delicate age, the cleansing product used on face and body must be gentle without leaving the skin dry.
