As a mom of two teenage daughters myself, I understand how much a breakout can affect a young person's confidence — and how frustrating it is to watch your teen try product after product with little to show for it. Teen skin is its own thing, and it deserves care that's designed for it. Here in Argyle, teen and preteen facials are one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Why teenage skin breaks out
During the teen years, hormones ramp up oil (sebum) production. That extra oil mixes with dead skin cells and clogs pores, creating the perfect environment for breakouts — blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed pimples. It's completely normal, and it's not about your teen “not washing their face enough.” In fact, over-washing and over-scrubbing usually make it worse.
How a professional teen facial helps
- Deep, gentle cleansing that clears congestion without stripping or damaging young skin.
- Safe, professional extractions — so your teen isn't picking at their skin and causing scarring.
- Calming the inflammation that makes breakouts red and painful.
- Education — arguably the most valuable part. Your teen leaves knowing a simple routine they'll actually stick to.
At Face the Day I offer treatments created specifically for younger skin, including a Teen Facial, a Teen Acne Facial, and a Teen Bacial for breakouts on the back and shoulders. Each one is gentle, pressure-free, and tailored to where their skin is right now.
What parents can expect
We start by talking with you and your teen about what's going on and what they've tried. The facial itself is relaxing and non-irritating. Afterward, I'll walk you both through a realistic at-home routine — simple enough that a busy teenager will actually follow it. For persistent or severe, cystic acne, I'll always be honest and recommend partnering with a dermatologist; esthetic facials and medical care work beautifully together.
Frequently asked questions
At what age can a teen start getting facials?
Many preteens and teens benefit from facials once breakouts begin — often around 12 and up. Treatments are adjusted to be gentle and age-appropriate. A parent is welcome to be involved throughout.
Will a facial clear my teen's acne?
Professional facials noticeably improve congestion, inflammation and skin habits, and many teens see real improvement. Consistency plus a simple home routine is key. Severe or cystic acne should also be seen by a dermatologist.
Is it safe to do extractions on teen skin?
Yes — professional, gentle extractions by a licensed esthetician are far safer than at-home picking, which can cause scarring and spread bacteria.
