Why teen skin only needs 3 steps

Dermatologists often advise that skin needs the basics done well: cleanse, treat and hydrate to protect the skin barrier, without overcomplicated lengthily steps which may irritate skin with too many products.

It's why bfore created a simple 3 step routine to focus on what teen skin actually needs:

Cleanse: remove sweat, sunscreen, oil and light makeup without stripping skin.

Target: use one focused serum for what teen skin needs right now.

Hydrate: help support the skin barrier and keep skin calm.

A lot of long routines may create problems for teen skin because they often involve:

• too many actives at once
• too much layering
• mixing products with different strengths
• more chance of irritation and barrier overload

More products do not always mean better skin. Sometimes they just mean more chances to upset it.

Teen skin can change. Some days it feels oily, some days dry, and sometimes it is a bit of everything.  Adding, more products may not be the quick fix to changing skin.

bfore helps avoid “over-stacking”. So even when you switch up your bfore serum or bfore moisturiser the routine still stays simple: 3 steps that work together to cleanse, hydrate and support the skin barrier while treating specific skin concerns with your choice of bfore serum. 

That is the point of bfore. Less confusion. Less layering. Less chance of overdoing it. Just the right basics, done well with ingredients and formulations specifically for teen skin.
