What’s a good foundation for teenage skin?

Question:

“hi emma, i am thirteen and i have a lot of spots at the moment i cannot leave the house without covering them with foundation but the one i have is supposed to last for 12 hours but when i get home from school it is all gone. i have very oily skin and i would also want one that covers up my shiny skin. i was wondering if you could help me find a foundation for me? thank you” Mary

Emma ForbesYes, I can help with this – I know how hard it is finding good products for your age skin as my daughter is a similar age.

Beautiful Skin BB cream from Boots no 7 and Calm and Conceal Blemish StickThe best one we have both found currently are the new Beautiful Skin BB cream from Boots no 7 – fabulous price for £12.95 and you can buy it for nomal/oily skin and it does everything from helping to prevent spots, to enhancing complexion and covering blemishes.

And I would recommend that alongside buying their calm and conceal blemish stick – £9.00 again from no 7 – that you can shove in a school bag and apply directly onto spots during the day that not only covers spots, but also will help them heal…great range for teens I think!

I know it’s really hard to do but try too to not touch the skin too much and at night always cleanse it really well….
