It’s important to maintain healthy skin, especially if you wear makeup. Doing things like cleaning your makeup brushes, doing a skincare routine, and taking your makeup off can help your skin stay healthy. “Make sure you clean your face really well because if you don’t, you will have bad skin,” said 8th grader TaKorayah Green. These simple things allow teens to still express themselves through makeup while also keeping their skin healthy.

Basically, makeup allows teens to express themselves and gives them a sense of identity, but they can still maintain healthy skin while wearing makeup. That way they feel confident all the time!
