Why Young Skin Needs Less, Not More: The Power of a Simple Cleanser

Less Is More (Especially for Young Skin)

If you’ve ever walked past the skincare aisle with your daughter and felt completely overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Rows of brightly packaged bottles promise glassy skin, anti-aging miracles, and 10-step routines—but what does your tween actually need?

The truth is: not much.
When it comes to tween and teen skin, simplicity isn’t just easier—it’s smarter.

Let’s talk about why starting with one good cleanser might be the best move you’ll ever make for her skin (and peace of mind).

The Skincare Myth Girls Are Falling For

Social media tells young girls they need to “double cleanse,” use vitamin C serums, retinol, toner pads, peels, and slug their face with petroleum jelly by age 13.

But their skin isn’t built for that.
Most tween skin is still producing plenty of collagen, has minimal damage, and is beautifully balanced—until they overload it with too many products.

And that’s where irritation, breakouts, and over-cleansing come in.

Start With a Cleanser That Protects — Not Strips

The Dew Work Gentle Cleanser was created for young skin.
No harsh acids. No unnecessary actives. Just calming, hydrating ingredients that do their job without messing up the skin barrier.

Here’s what makes it different:

• Sodium Hyaluronate: Hydration powerhouse that keeps skin bouncy and plump
  
  

• Triple Ceramide Blend: Strengthens the skin’s natural barrier and protects from dryness
  
  

• Allantoin: Soothes irritation and keeps the skin soft, calm, and clear
  
  

Together, these ingredients cleanse without stripping—something many adult cleansers can’t promise.

What Her Routine Should Actually Look Like

That’s it. A coin-sized pump, massaged onto damp skin, rinsed, and followed with a gentle moisturizer.
No stinging. No guessing. Just skin that feels clean and comfortable.

This keeps her natural oils balanced, her skin barrier strong, and the routine easy to stick to.

From One Mom to Another…

We know you want to help your daughter feel confident and cared for. And yes, skincare can totally be a bonding thing. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Start with just one step she can feel good about.
