Skincare with Organic Young Collection; Oy!

When it comes to setting trends, we all know the power of social media. TikTok is packed with beauty content, but recent news has shown that videos of influencer skincare routines have resulted in children as young as 10 reaching for products packed with potent ingredients including retinol, acids and vitamin C. These are all designed to minimise wrinkles and treat pigmentation; neither of which should be a concern for teens. 

Gen Z now spends more on skincare than any other generation but forget harsh retinol and glycolic acid; what sensitive teen skin needs is a few products made with spot-fighting natural ingredients that help to keep skin calm, clear and comfortable.

Here’s where the organic experts at Green People can help. Their certified organic Organic Young collection (Oy!) was created by teens, for teens using plant actives chosen for their soothing, skin-balancing properties. With no skin-drying alcohol or harsh foaming agents to irritate spot-prone skin, this cruelty-free and vegan collection can be enjoyed by all pre-teens and teenagers, even those with the most sensitive skin.

Green People founder Charlotte Vøhtz originally worked with her then-teenage daughter to develop the Young Skicare; Oy! range specifically with teen skin in mind;  “It’s never too early to start using an organic skincare regime but avoid unnecessary chemicals and drying alcohol. Instead, look to natural powerhouses which encourage a clean, clear and radiant complexion.  With Green People’s Oy! certified organic skin care you’re guaranteed no harsh, synthetic chemical ingredients, just natural goodness for pure skin confidence”.

The Oy! range is packed with natural active ingredients selected to support teenage microbiomes in the fight for a clear complexion. 

The key actives:

Here are five natural anti-blemish powerhouse ingredients to look for when selecting a gentle, effective organic young skincare for teens:

• Prebiotics: Encourage and support the skin’s colony of good bacteria, assisting them in the fight against the bad bacteria which cause teenage spots.
  
• Willow Bark: A rich source of naturally occurring salicylic acid. It’s anti-inflammatory and offers the same spot-calming benefits as salicylic acid, but unlike synthetic versions used in mainstream anti-blemish products, it won’t irritate or dry out your skin.
  
• Witch Hazel: Has very effective astringent properties and helps control excess oil to help prevent new blemishes from forming. Witch Hazel also has anti-inflammatory properties making it ideal for calming angry, red spots.
  
• Green Tea: This anti-inflammatory helps to calm the red, sore spots and blemishes associated with acne. It also helps to prevent skin damage from free-radical activity. By reducing oxidative stress, Green Tea can also help to prevent blackheads and pimples from forming.
  
• Rosehip oil: Rosehip oil allows the skin to regenerate, helping it to recover from blemishes. It also moisturises, soothes and softens, promoting healthy skin.
