Models Direct know that one of the key things that modeling agencies look out for is clear, luminous skin. However, Models Direct also know that teen skin doesn’t always want to play ball. That’s why the modeling agency has put together this simple guide for teens to get model-perfect skin.

•    What do you put on your face? If you wear make-up, do you ever look into what you’re putting on your face? Try to get products that are oil-free, as these won’t clog your pores so much and therefore should help prevent spots. Even better, just save make-up for special occasions.

•    Wash your face thoroughly twice daily, when you wake up and before you go to bed. As part of your night-time routine, make sure you remove all traces of make-up. You should also wash your face after rigorous exercise.

•    What products should you use? Have a look for products that suit your skin type, whether it’s dry or oily. Teenage skin is more sensitive than an adult’s so avoid using your mom’s. Have a look in stores or online to compare products and find the perfect cleanser for you.

•    Stop picking. You’ll no doubt get plenty of spots during your teenage years and one important thing to remember is not to squeeze or pick at them. Although squeezing may work for some, it also risks the bacteria spreading further, increasing inflammation and potentially causing scarring.

•    Stay protected. Even if you’re not living in one of the warmer states, the sun will still be shining! Remember to use SPF make-up or sunscreens daily to keep your skin healthy and protected.

• A healthy lifestyle. Many people believe that it is greasy food like fries and pizza will cause acne and while this isn’t necessarily true it makes sense to eat healthily. Coco Auerswald, M.D., from the University of California has been studying what affects acne, covering diet and lifestyle.

“Eating celery won’t clear up acne,” she reports to Teen Vogue. “But if you tend to eat lots of veggies, you’re likely the kind of person who takes good care of herself by exercising and managing stress well. These behaviors will make your whole body – and, by extension, your skin – as healthy as possible.”

Remember to drink lots of water to keep skin fresh and hydrated.

Scientists have also been looking into the effects of stress on acne and although studies have not shown a cause-and-effect relationship between the two there is a definite association.

• Think of the future. By starting off a good skin care routine now, you’re more likely to maintain beautiful skin throughout your life, ultimately making you look younger. You might not be thinking that far in the future yet but you’ll definitely appreciate it when you’re older!
