When children become teenagers, many changes take place – including in their skin. The first blemishes may begin to appear, and it can be tempting to experiment with skincare without really knowing what the skin needs. This is where SKIN BALANCE comes in.

The range is developed especially for young skin and combines gentle care with effective ingredients that balance, protect and soothe. The products help reduce redness, spots and blackheads while giving skin the moisture it needs.

All products in the range are fragrance-free, allergy certified, vegan and dermatologically tested, so you can feel completely confident about what your teenager uses on their skin.

How old do you need to be to use skincare?

Many parents ask when it is time to introduce skincare. The answer depends on the skin, but it can change as puberty begins – often around the age of 12. Puberty often leads to increased oil production, which can result in spots and blemishes, and a mild cleanser and a moisturising face cream that does not clog pores can make a big difference. In addition to daily cleansing and moisturising, a weekly mud mask can help absorb excess oil and reduce blackheads.

Young skin needs care that helps control oil production and prevent blemishes without being too harsh. SKIN BALANCE was developed with exactly this in mind. The range contains gentle but effective ingredients that care for skin without irritating it – such as natural extracts, hyaluronic acid and vitamins, which stabilise the skin's bacterial flora and oil production, provide intense moisture and offer antioxidant protection.

The idea behind the range

SKIN BALANCE was created by Katharina, founder Tina Søgaard's eldest daughter. As a beautician, Katharina has seen various types of damage to young skin caused by, among other things, acne breakouts and incorrect use of skincare products. She therefore wanted to develop a mild but effective skincare range created to care for young skin.

The range was to consist of a few effective products, as young skin in most cases does not need or tolerate too much care. The most important thing is to cleanse and moisturise the skin – and you can add a serum, a mist or a mask to help balance irritated skin. If young skin needs additional care, it is typically because of irritation and blemishes, and in more serious cases it is always a good idea to consult a beautician or dermatologist.

The perfect confirmation gift

A skincare routine is a gift for life – and SKIN BALANCE is therefore an ideal gift for a young person who has just started taking an interest in skincare. The range provides a gentle but effective introduction to good skincare habits. Perfect as a thoughtful confirmation gift or simply as a treat for your teenager!
