What is TEEN Beauty?

Let's face it—teens are overwhelmed with pressure by mates, classmates and themselves to look like unrealistic representations of people who should not be role models. Whether they are trying to copycat the makeup look of a reality show sexpot or watching the most recent video of their favourite pop star's lyrical exploration about sex, many teens are just following the crowd—and looking much older than they should.
 
Many teens and adults alike don't realise that these celebrity 'ideals' of beauty go through hours upon hours of skin treatments, skincare, hair and makeup—possibly even secret plastic surgery! Most photos in magazines are airbrushed or Photoshopped. Why? Because the entertainment industry is superficial and being in the public eye is their livelihood. If they don't live up to their own standards or those of their investors (managers, agents, casting directors, etc.) they will be doomed by the media and their fans.  
 
What if for one moment, these same teens took another glance-over in the mirror and asked themselves: what really defines beauty? Is it a genuine smile? Is it a positive demeanor and outlook? If you branch out one step further from those questions, we come to the root of that 'beautiful smile and positive demeanor,' which is confidence.
 
Confidence begins with taking care of yourself. Eating right, exercising regularly and practising proper hygiene only go so far. The hormonal changes in teens cause sebaceous glands to work in overdrive, causing oily skin and breakouts. Add stress to the equation and many teens don't have the confidence to be the best versions of themselves. This affects their school work, social life and causes tension at home.
 
The answer lays within a proper skincare routine for morning, night and after heavy exercise or sweating. To kick-start a clear complexion, a purifying facial is highly recommended at least once a month.
 
The Skin Angels of Purity Boutique believe in natural beauty—and doing what's best for your particular skin problem so that you feel like the best version of you that you can be. All products used for facials and recommended for starting a skincare routine are effective and gentle, even for sensitive skin.
 
If you or your teen have an event coming up that demands some makeup, consider trying a mineral makeup application which will bring out her natural beauty and will be good for her sensitive skin, too.
