Say bye-bye to breakouts with MECCA MAX Skin

We know confidence comes from when you feel good in your own skin, and puberty can wreak havoc on theirs. Oily T-zones, hormonal breakouts and stubborn acne, are some of the few teenage skin dramas we can all relate to. And while clear skin may not solve all their teenage woes, building good skincare habits will not only combat fickle, adolescent skin but passing on your knowledge and encouraging them to care for theirs is something they’ll be grateful for in later years.

So Mum, it’s time to impart the wisdom you’ve gained from your own extensive, 10-step regime, and with a helping hand from our friends at MECCA, we’d like to introduce you to MECCA MAX Skin and our easy step-by-step guide to perfecting their own first skincare routine.

Simple and effective, MECCA MAX Skin is a new skincare range made from clean, vegan ingredients #MumApproved. With an all-star line-up of affordable clever cleansers to serious serums, and even multitasking masks (the range is priced between RRP $10-25 so it’s easy on Mum’s pocket too!), these products were designed with your teenager’s skin in mind and will assist young skin in looking clearer, more hydrated and glowy.

Take this as an opportunity to have a D&M (deep and meaningful) with your mini-me. We’ve been told this guide also looks great stuck to the bathroom wall for reference hint hint

Now it’s time to introduce you to the kick-ass skincare game that your teenagers will love…

Step 1: The FOAM-O Gentle Cleansing Gel

Dirt? Oil? Makeup? This get-it-done gel cleanser transforms into a lightweight foam, enriched with aloe, niacinamide and beta glucan to soothe and hydrate. Simply lather up and rinse off for a seriously satisfying clean.

Step 2: The CLEAN SWEEP Exfoliating and Brightening Toner

This tough yet gentle toner combines the powers of glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid to exfoliate and keep oily, problem areas at bay. Load up a reusable cotton pad and gently sweep across the face and neck, concentrating on the T-zone to remove surface build-up, clear pores, prevent blackheads and smooth discolouration and scarring.

Step 3: The BREAK-UP Blemish Busting Serum

It’s time to breakup with breakouts! Use this targeted blemish serum, packed with niacinamide and salicylic acid, to quickly zap away spots. Apply onto blemishes twice daily, after your toner and watch them disappear.

Step 4: The WATERCOOLER Calming Hydration Serum

Acne-prone skin doesn’t always mean oily and can sometimes be dry and irritated. Fermented birch juice, green algae extract and panthenol come together to calm and deliver deep, lasting hydration. Using your palms, gently pat a 10-cent piece amount all over your face (hot tip: using this product on slightly damp skin will not only help it absorb but seal all it’s hydrating properties in better.)

Step 5: The ALL DAY EVERY DAY Oil Free Moisturising Gel

For perfectly balanced skin, smooth this lightweight, non-greasy gel moisturiser all over the face and neck, and this clever formula will pump up the hydration whenever it’s needed, all day long.

Step 6: The X-ZIT Strategy Clarifying Mask

A creamy, detoxifying clay mask with antioxidant-rich wheatgrass extract and 5% sulphur. Use twice a week to instantly purify, decongest and prevent blemishes and blackheads from forming.

Step 7: The NIGHT DUTY Hydrating Overnight Mask

Max out your beauty sleep with this this dreamy, overnight mask with aloe vera, niacinamide and sodium PCA. Best used in place of The All Day Every Day Oil Free Moisturising Gel before calling it a night. Their skin will bounce out of bed in the morning (even if they don’t want to).
