Back to School Skin Survival Guide: Preventing and Treating Common Skin Conditions in Kids
Back-to-school season is upon us, and while it is an exciting time for our kids, it also means the return of certain skin issues that can pop up during the school year. Whether it's the change in the weather, the stress of new schedules, or increased activity, all of these changes can lead to changes in your skin. Here's a guide on five skin conditions our kids might face when heading back to school and how Emogene & Co. is here to help.
Rashes:
Problem: Returning to school means our kids are surrounded by new environments and new things. Whether it's from rolling around in the grass, playing with art supplies, or simply sensitive skin, rashes are common back-to-school issues.
Solution: The Healer All-Purpose Balm is your go-to remedy. This balm is packed with all-natural soothing ingredients to promote healing and calming of the skin. Pop this 1 oz tin in your kid's backpack or pencil pouch for the perfect on-the-go treatment at school while keeping some stashed at home to work its magic overnight.
Acne:
Problem: Constantly changing schedules and increasing afternoon practices can all lead to acne flare-ups in our kids. Whether it's due to stress, hormone changes, or simply increased sweat, acne puts a damper on our kids' confidence, so here are a few ways that we can treat and prevent these acne flare-ups.
Solution: Our Oily/Acne-prone Skin Travel Kit! This is the perfect on-the-go skincare kit packed with our Fortiphy Cleansing Balm and Refresh Gel Cleanser to double-cleanse away the excess dirt and oil. It also contains a travel-size Renew Facial Toner to minimize pores and promote balanced oil production. With a CocoVanil lip conditioner and a travel-size Repair Facial Oil, this kit leaves the skin feeling clean and moisturized. Throw this travel kit in a backpack for the perfect reset after sports practices or gym classes. These products are gentle yet effective, promoting a cleaner, clearer complexion.
Excess Sweat:
Problem: Our kids are constantly on the go, and excess sweat can be a real issue, leading to excess oil production and potential skin problems.
Solution: Keep our Renew Facial Toner handy! This toner helps minimize the appearance of pores, tightens the skin, and reduces oil production and appearance. Pop this toner and a backpack or after-school bag for quick, on-the-go relief of excess sweat and discomfort.
Excess Oil:
Problem: As our hormones change and the humidity continues to ramp up, oily skin can become increasingly problematic, especially in teenagers. As we all know, excess oil can lead to too much shine and nasty breakouts.
Solution: The Local Detox Facial Mask is packed with the highest-quality bentonite clay and activated charcoal to extract dirt, unclog pores, and absorb excess oil. Incorporate this mask 1-2 times weekly alongside Double Cleansing twice daily with our Fortify Cleansing balm and Refresh Gel Cleanser for a thorough yet gentle cleanse of the skin. This combination helps gently remove excess oil from the pores and keeps the skin balanced and clear.
Eczema:
Problem: Eczema flare-ups can be triggered by stress, changing environments, or allergens, all of which can be components of our kid’s going back to school.
Solution: The Healer All-Purpose Balm is an excellent choice for managing eczema flare-ups. This balm is derived from all-natural ingredients, promoting its calming and moisturizing properties to help soothe those dry and itchy eczema patches. Toss one of these 1-ounce Healer Balms in your child's backpack or pencil pouch so they can have quick relief on the go while also keeping some at home to lather on before bed to promote healing.
