When we're young, we're more inclined to deal with day-to-day skin problems (usually acne or oily skin) than to see skin as a capital asset to be preserved over the long term.
And yet, it's precisely at this time of life that we have the greatest influence on our skin's future.
So it's not a question of chasing down pimples with overly aggressive products, or multiplying “treatments” (scrubs, masks and stripping cleansers), but rather ensuring that you use gentle care products, adapted to your skin type and above all respectful of the cutaneous barrier.
By taking the initiative now, you'll help your skin to react better to skin infections, safeguard its hydrolipidic film over the long term and give yourself the best possible chance of keeping your skin looking beautiful for as long as possible.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LOOK AFTER YOUR SKIN OVER THE LONG TERM?
Skin that is aggressed when young can age badly, as cosmetic products can seriously damage the skin's appearance and cause premature aging (fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, hard-to-remove scars...).

You may not realize it at the time, but you risk seeing skin problems accumulate in the future if you don't take care now.
Being kind to your skin means respecting its physical barrier by using the highest quality, most natural skin care products and cosmetics possible, but also by eating a healthy diet and protecting it as much as possible from pollution, bad weather...
DECIPHERING YOUR PRODUCT LABELS
With so many brands on the internet extolling the benefits of a cream without any real feedback from their customers, it can be hard to make the right choices.
Don't blindly trust influencers, who are sometimes paid by brands and therefore don't always have a fair and relevant opinion. First and foremost, I advise you to read the ingredients list carefully, as it may already alert you to the quality of the product you want to use.
In general, the longer the list, the worse it is! So consulting this list is the first thing you should do before buying a skincare product.
Some active ingredients should be avoided at all costs: ask yourself whether they are really necessary? This applies to the whole family of sulfated surfactants, which can even cause irritation...
Be vigilant, and don't be fooled by loud, unscientific claims. Rely on natural active ingredients, which have already proved their worth in the past, as a good basis for selecting your skincare products.
GOOD SKINCARE ROUTINES
Removing make-up before bedtime, cleansing your skin morning and night, moisturizing your skin (even when it's oily and prone to imperfections, because it needs it too!
(even when it's oily and prone to imperfections, because it needs it too!), and using a sun cream when necessary, are all reflexes to integrate as soon as possible.
Avoid overly-aggressive products, even if you think they'll get rid of an acne flare-up: a lighter approach is often better!
Cleansing, yes, but it must be gentle, so as not to attack already fragile skin.
The skin doesn't need to be stripped, otherwise it will over-react and produce a new acne outbreak through even greater sebum excess.
Between two treatments, let your skin breathe, and always make sure your hands are perfectly clean before applying a cream...
These few tips may help you set up a good skincare routine, but they're not the only ones.
