Care tips for teens

Normal and oily skin areas on the face. Blemished, large-pored and oily skin occurs primarily in the T-zone, i.e. between the forehead, eyebrows, nose and chin. The skin around the T-zone is smooth and has fine pores. The cheek area is dry and sometimes tight. A BB cream which lightly covers impurities and protects your skin from the sun with SPF 10 at the same time is ideal here. Care tip: as the skin tends to be dehydrated, a day cream with plenty of moisture can be used. Fight spots in the T-zone once a week with refining Clear-Up Strips from NIVEA.

Your face looks pale, shiny and has large pores. Spots and blackheads spread across your forehead, nose, chin, upper chest area and back. The impurities occur because your sebum production is working flat out. These skin problems are caused by hormonal changes during puberty. 
Care tip: don’t squeeze the spots – this will cause them to become inflamed and will cause unsightly scars. Use products that are especially for impure skin, with ‘non-comedogenic’ formulas (this means that they prevent blackheads forming) and have anti-bacterial properties – like all the products for impure skin from NIVEA. You can be sure that these creams will not clog your skin’s pores. What’s more, they cover up small impurities and give the skin a slight matte effect. 

Tender, fine-pored, yet delicate skin which is especially sensitive to environmental influences and stress. This can range from slight redness to feelings of tightness right through to allergic reactions. 
Rough flakes often appear on the skin. Impurities such as spots are therefore less common. 
Care tip: the skin needs to be supplied with sufficient moisture at all times. In this skin type, the skin’s natural oil and moisture content is very low, because the sebaceous gland performance is low. Use products for sensitive skin without additives such as perfume, for example mild Sensitive Day Care from NIVEA. 

This skin type is matte and rarely shines, except perhaps when exercising! You might get a spot every now and then, but that’s absolutely natural when you’re a teenager, as they are caused by hormones. The balance between dry and oily skin is ideal, as the sebaceous glands work well. Pores are relatively fine. 
For this skin, you can use a tinted BB cream which not only evens out slight irregularities, but also provides your skin with moisture.
