10 Reasons To Start a Skincare Routine In Highschool

Getting into a good skincare routine is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Unfortunately, many people wait too long to start taking care of their skin or don’t research products enough to use them properly. It’s never too early to get into skincare, so if you start a routine while in high school, you will reap great benefits for much longer and learn which specific products and skincare techniques work best for you. Here are ten reasons to start a skincare routine in high school!

1. You Have So Much Spare Time

Even though not every teenager has troublesome skin, it’s still worthwhile to invest a lot of the spare time you have as a high schooler to learning about and testing new products that fit your specific needs. Take advantage of the fact that you don’t work full time and don’t experience the same stress that college students or adults have. So why not build your skincare routine before you do?

2. It’s Better to Learn Good Habits Sooner

The sooner you build good habits, the better since they will follow you for the rest of your life! Learning to properly take care of your skin will not only keep you looking young and beautiful, but you are also going to feel good too!

3. Learning Your Skin Type Is Life Changing

The faster you learn what skin type you really have, the easier things will be in the long run. Many products are targeted toward a specific skin type or concern, but many of us often choose the wrong products when we first start out. Learning your skin type at high school age will make it easier for you to choose the right products and avoid causing damage.

4. You Will Avoid Making The Same Mistake Over and Over

Just as you can start good habits in high school, it’s also good practice to refrain from bad habits too, like picking at blemishes and using harsh cleansing scrubs. Oh, and you will also see the effects of UV rays on your skin early on if you keep skipping out on daily sunscreen!

5. You Will Learn Which Ingredients Are Best

There is so much science behind skincare, it’s not something you can understand with one night’s reading. There will be a lot of trial and error, but eventually, you will find the right products to use daily. Even a simple skincare routine is better than nothing!


6. Your Skin Will Be Plump And Hydrated

Let’s face it, aging is an inevitable truth. Your skin is never going to be as youthful and plump as it is in high school, so why not stretch out that look as much as possible. If you have no other worries, focus on a routine that keeps your skin hydrated. Hydration is key in maintaining strong, healthy skin!

7. Pulling Off the No Makeup Look Will Be Easy

Wouldn’t it make our lives so much easier if we didn’t have to put on a full face of makeup every day? Imagine all the time and money we would save! While many of us enjoy doing our makeup, there are days we’d rather go without. Having a good skincare routine locked down boosts our confidence in showing off our bare skin!

8. You Will Always Achieve The Perfect Glow

With the right brightening products, exfoliating every now and then, and moisturizing daily, there is no way your skin won’t be glowing!

9. It’ll Be One Less Thing To Learn

High school is a time when you are constantly learning. It’s also a time of transitioning from being a careless teenager to a young adult with responsibilities and potential. If you start a skincare routine while in high school, it will just be one less thing to learn later on!

10. You Will Always Look Like A High Schooler

The ultimate reason to start taking care of your skin in high school is that many people will still think you are in high school even when you are in college! Thanks to your knowledge of retinoids, hydration, and sunscreen, you are going to look like a kid long after you’ve outgrown that stage!
