I remember when I was …maybe 13? …and got a zit. It wrecked my confidence until it cleared up. I felt like everyone was staring at it like it was a blaring neon sign. And when I got a bad breakout I wouldn’t even want to go to school.
Some things never change.
But the ‘self-care’ brand GRYT , specifically formulated for tweens and teens, aims to create a more confident young person, ‘that is ready to make a positive impact’ (says the brand.)
Bursting with clean skin products and positive messengering, it aims to help young people.
Take the FACE COURAGE Daily Cleanser ($16 ) a uniquely formulated cleanser that the brand boasts is ‘all about courage, confidence, and clear skin.’
With a low-pH formula that removes surface oil and dirt without stripping skin of its essential moisture, it also soothes the dermis.
BALANCING ACT Daily Moisturizer ($18 for 1.7 fl oz)
Tweens and especially teens are juggling a balancing act daily; this multi-purpose daily moisturizer gives them one less thing to think about.
Apply every morning after cleansing to create a natural skin barrier that keeps acne at bay and regulates skin oils with a powerful combination of jojoba oil, vitamin B3, probiotic ferment, bisabolol (yep, the active ingredient in Chamomile), and squalene (an organic compound that mimics the body’s own natural oils). By mixing in anti-inflammatory ingredients such as organic pomegranate fruit, licorice root, milk thistle, and turmeric root, it helps keep the skin balanced (not too dry, not too oily.)
SO CHILL Nighttime Serum ($24 for 1 fl oz)
Put this moisturizer on before bed to help clear and soothe skin with acne-fighting salicylic acid, plus inflammation-fighting curcumin and licorice root.
