Teenage skin is very different than adult skin because it's going through so many hormonal changes, that it can be hard to keep up with! We all remember our teenage days of disgusting acne flare ups, so these 5 face masks for teens were formulate just for that: the finicky teenage skin. So if you're a teenager, or you have a teenager, alternate between these 5 face masks and see which one works best for you! I recommend one mask per week (or two if you know you don't have sensitive skin). But even if you're not a teenager, these face masks are still great for any skin type as they work deep to clear up acne and prevent it, and reveal a youthful glow.
