Thanks to Neutrogena Rainbath for sponsoring this post, all thoughts and opinions are mine.

As a mom of 4, I’ve experienced several stages of motherhood; from sleepless nights with fussy newborns to potty training toddlers, from first days of school to riding bikes with no training wheels, each phase has had it’s ups and downs. My oldest child is now a teenager and we’re navigating new subjects like social media, driving lessons, and teen beauty products. Teaching your teen to care for herself is vital and these 5 Teen Beauty Tips can help you do just that!

Are you raising a teen girl? Wondering what the 5 best teen beauty tips are that she should learn? These simple suggestions will help keep teenage girls healthy as moms share their beauty tips with their daughters. ad MomsBeautyRituals

I love having 3 daughters! Even though only one is currently a teen, we still enjoy our fill of fun, girly, at home spa experiences over here. Whether it’s painting nails, trying out new hairstyles, or experimenting with make up, my bathroom is easily transformed into our own little salon and is filled with giggles and smiles as imagination takes over. These times are wonderful bonding experiences but also a fantastic opportunity to share practical teen beauty tips with my girls.

My mom was always generous in sharing her beauty tips with my sister & I when we were growing up. In her sixties now, my mom has beautiful skin and attributes it to genetics and her diligence in skincare. No matter what time or how tired she was, my moms always removed her make up and moisturized her skin before bed. I’ll confess, I’m not as consistent and often wind up falling asleep at night before thoroughly cleansing my face. I know better, yet I’ll admit that self care isn’t one of my strong suits.

Teen Beauty Tips

But with 3 daughters watching my actions and not just listening to my words, I’ve resolved to do better with self care, starting with a few simple changes, like removing my make up earlier in the evening before I’m too exhausted and forget. This is my first Teen Beauty Tip: skincare.

Teen Beauty Tip 1: SKIN CARE

Teen Beauty Tips

It seems simple but helping your teen find a cleanser and moisturizer that is suited to her skin type is one of the best things in helping prevent acne. Even if your daughter doesn’t wear make up, she still needs to wash her face at least twice a day to remove dirt, grime, and oil. If she’s spending a lot of time outdoors, she definitely needs a daily sunscreen to protect her face from the sun, too. Creating a consistent routine, like keeping the skin care products near her toothbrush and toothpaste will help her to remember her skin care when she’s doing something that is already part of her daily schedule.

Teen Beauty Tip 2: BODY CARE

Hygiene can be a challenge during the teen years. My daughter was in the camp of wanting to smell nice and took ownership of her personal grooming easily but many other moms have confided in me that was not always the case for their daughters. My daughter absolutely loves Neutrogena Rainbath and I love that this fabulous product not only cleanses skin but also conditions it!
Teen Beauty Tips
The rich lather is a luxurious treat and is even thick enough to shave with, it’s great to have a product that can take care of two jobs! The fresh, clean scent makes Neutrogena Rainbath perfect for anyone; the spicy herb and fruit smell isn’t overpowering or too feminine. I love this product for teens because it rinses clean, leaving no residue on the skin that could cause further acne outbreaks.

Teen Beauty Tip 3: HAIR CARE

Teen Beauty Tips

Remember those oily teen years? I sure do! I definitely had to wash my hair daily or my scalp area looked dingy and dull, not to mention plain old greasy! Younger kids don’t need to wash their hair daily but many teens do and encouraging them to do so is a great way to help them learn to manage their hair needs. Make sure you’re using hair products that aren’t overly moisturizing, as teens usually have enough moisture
(oil) already and those products can weigh the hair down and give a dirty appearance to clean hair.

Teen Beauty Tip 4: NAIL CARE

Teen Beauty Tips

Gone are the days of mom & dad clipping nails, be sure to take the time and show your teen how to cut finger and toenails.Many teens experience painful ingrown toenails caused by improper nail care and can lead to costly medical procedures and even minor surgery. Explain about cutting hangnails, not just ripping them off, to avoid infections and encourage them to take a couple minutes to remove any dirt under their nails, too. We do a lot of eating with our hands so clean nails aren’t just for aesthetics, it’s a matter of good hygiene.

Teen Beauty Tip 5: SELF CARE

I alluded to my shortcoming in this area above and I’m trying to instill in my children the value of this. Self care is all about intentionally ensuring you’re focused on your needs with the goal of staying healthy in mind, body, and soul. Taking care of yourself is not a luxury but a necessity. Eating & sleeping properly, spending time on a hobby, and allowing yourself to “be” instead of “do” all the time are just a few ways to invest in yourself. Although it can be a noble goal to constantly place other’s above your own well being, if you’re run down and exhausted, you will burn out and be unable to help anyone, including yourself. By learning to live in a healthy way, teens put themselves on a path for greater success.

    Self-care is so important, especially in teens that are developing what they value in themselves and gripping with expectations put on them. Thanks for sharing this reminder.

    Skincare is one of the most important things you can do! I know I wished I had started taking care of my skin more when I was younger.

    The one tip that my mom has always stressed to me is to stay out of the sun. I loved the Neutrogena products when I was in my teens, and now when I am in my 30’s I still love them!

    My daughters are athletes and while they don’t wear make-up, they need to really keep their face and body clean. The sweat and grime can do a number on them. Even my younger one, who is only 11. We love Neutrogena because the ingredients are super for sensation skin. Your daughter is lovely! What a sweetie!

    It’s so important for teenagers to pick up good hygiene habits when they are young that will last them a lifetime. I think good skin care is definitely at the top of the list.

    My daughter is a minimalist when it comes to skin care and make up. Her friends on the other hand spend hours and tons of money on beauty products and would never go out in public without makeup.

    Great tips for teens.

    Definitely a helpful list 🙂 My son is only 5 but man, he has the dirtiest fingernails sometimes. We’re careful to wash up before dinner, every night. It’s great to start these habits early!

    And, I had no idea Neutrogena was introducing new rainbath fragrances. How exciting!

    I wish I would have taken better care of my hair back in the day. The late 80s/90s were not kind to hair. Too much product is never needed.

    Great post, Michelle. As the mother of five (plus a bonus) girls, I’ve had my share of skin-care conversations. It is part of a bigger self-care conversation that is so very important for young girls to internalize.

    I will keep this in mind for when my daughter gets a little older. I have noticed that my boys are now at the age where they need a daily shower and we have discussed deodorant use. The joys of them growing up. 🙂

    I’m not a mom, but I can remember my teenage days of my mom lecturing to me the importance of all these things. And I can’t help but mention that whenever I see Rainbath, all I can think of is this time we were on vacation and staying with friends who had it in their guest shower and my husband literally could not stop talking about how much he loved it! LOL

    I love bath products that come with a pump! I have two teenage boys and while we don’t have to worry about hair and nails too much, skin care is sometimes a battle.

    I use a tinted moisturizer to hide those lines, a purifying clay mask, that deeply cleanses, and also I use a sunscreen no less than SPF 55 on my skin.

    I am an all boy mom, so as long as they remember to shower and put on deodorant, the world is definitely a better place.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
