When I started putting on makeup, I was a teenager and I must say that even though I thought I knew what I was doing, I didn’t!  I know, there is nothing worse than getting advice from older people, so when the older ones in my life told me how to do it, I don’t think I took it to heart. However, the truth is that some advice really is worth taking! I always tried to take my mom’s advice. We have read thousands of beauty tips and tried thousands of products and only a couple of them are worth having. Here are 10 beauty secrets every teen should know…

10. Skip the foundation

If you have acne, then it is important that you skip the foundation. Foundation is for older women, not for teenagers. It is going to cover up your natural beauty. Foundation on a teenager is far from natural. If you have blemishes, then try covering them up with some concealer and follow this step with some tinted moisturizer or some powder.

9. You can never go wrong with layers for your hair

Long layers are great for all hair types. It does not matter if you have straight, wavy or super curly hair. It will make thin hair look thicker, wavy hair look like you just got back from the beach sexy and curly hair look more manageable. For a little added advice, make sure you do not put too many layers in there. Also, super short layers are out dated.

8. Are you dealing with acne?

Go to a dermatologist. What is the biggest mistake people someone with acne could make? Not getting professional help. Forget about those expensive jeans you want, getting rid of the pimples will be the best investment you could ever make. The only guaranteed way to get rid of them would be to see a dermatologist.
