Adolescence is a sensitive period accompanied by noticeable hormonal changes that directly affect skin health. Many teenage girls seek to achieve perfect skin, which prompts them to try many chemical products without medical advice. But, are these products really safe? You can learn more about how to care for teenage skin and some types of medical brands through the Dalili Medical website.

They are effective for mature skin, especially for women over 30 or who are showing signs of aging. However, they can be too strong for younger skin, causing it to peel and become more sensitive.

**Different types of makeup for teens: Which is best?**

 

When considering buying makeup, there are many and varied options, but it is necessary to consider several factors and criteria when choosing products, starting from the brand to the texture of the product.

Below we review the most common types of makeup and what to expect from each type:

. **Liquid makeup**If you are considering buying liquid makeup, dermatologists recommend using a moisturizer with a light color or liquid makeup with a thin texture for a natural and smooth look.

These products moisturize the skin of the face and are easy to remove. Some types of liquid makeup contain salicylic acid, which helps prevent acne.

Makeup that contains salicylic acid is non-greasy, and is preferable for people who want to keep their skin free of pimples and prevent clogged pores.

. **Mineral Makeup**Different companies tend to market mineral makeup powders as natural products that contribute to maintaining healthy skin, in addition to giving the skin a beautiful and smooth appearance.

Beauty experts indicate that mineral makeup contains natural ingredients, making it a good choice for teenage girls who want to use cosmetics that are gentle on their skin.

. Concealer **Although concealer is not considered part of traditional makeup, its use is an effective way to hide skin imperfections, which makes it popular among teenage girls. The advantages of concealer are its ability to hide imperfections without the need to use heavy makeup, as it can be used to cover pimples, spots and damage specifically instead of applying makeup to the entire face.

The most important thing is to choose the right concealer for your skin tone, as using a concealer in an inconsistent color may lead to an unattractive appearance.

**Best Ways to Remove Makeup**

 

There are various ways to remove makeup, so you can choose what suits your needs and skin type. These methods include:

As for the rest of the makeup, it is recommended to remove it from the center of the face towards the edges, to avoid skin wrinkles.
