Teens you have reached the age where your appearance is a bit more important to you, but you have this darn acne and skin changes that are getting in the way... how do we deal?

First, you want to take care of your natural, beautiful and radiant skin: cleansing, toning and moisturizing. These steps are most important! Look in the drugstore for products that fit you-- oily skin, dry skin, acne prone, etc. In the summer time, the heat is up, our bodies are producing more sweat and oil, so consider those factors as well. If things are too severe and you can't figure out things at the drugstore with a parent, ask your parent to see a dermatologist.

With acne prone skin and the summer weather, loading up makeup on your face won't help the situation. Keep your skin free of irritants and stick to gloss, liner, shadow and mascara if you are into those things. Here are some suggestions for kicking up your summer look:

-Do your skincare regimen.

-Swipe a sparkly, brightening shadow across your lids.

-Line your lids with classic dark brown or a funky summer fun color such as blue, mellon or purple.

-Dab some cheek stain on your cheeks. Use a gel-stick as the liquids can be tricky and hard to work with.

-For your lips, choose your fave gloss. To give the color some extra pop, swipe a berry colored lipstick on top of your gloss for a sheer wash, but more pigmented color. Let's not worry about lipliners, just yet, even though we see our mothers and aunties using it.
-Get some tropical colored or white polish for nails and toes.

-Extra glam- get some body bronzer or shimmer.
