JAKARTA - Children will experience various changes in the skin due to the pulating period at the age of 11. Therefore, treatment using skincare products can be done at that age.

However, in contrast to juvenile or adult skin care, skincare for 11 years of age must be lighter. This is because the child's skin still tends to be more sensitive, so the improper use of products actually triggers new skin problems.

In skincare products, the priority is for children aged 11 years who function to clean gently, moisturize the skin, and protect the skin from sunlight.

"Exfoliation, brightening, or anything has the potential to cause irritation, so it must be used carefully or completely in pre-teen children," said dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner, quoted from Parents, on Friday, August 1, 2025.

"The focus is on smooth cleaning, moisturizing, and sun protection," he added.

Some skin care products for 11 years of age are recommended as follows.

1. Facial cleaner

At the age of 11, the skin begins to experience changes such as the emergence of excess oil or comodos due to the hormone puberstas. For this reason, using a natural wash with soft formulas, such as glycerin, aloe vera, and free from alcohol, perfume, and hard ingredients such as SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) is recommended.

2. Implementation

Using moisturizing products made from mild ingredients is also important at the age of 11 years. Maintaining skin moisture from an early age helps strengthen the skin protection layer or skin barrier.

Choose a water or gel-based moisturizer, with a non-comedogenic label and without artificial fragrances. Avoid products with active ingredients such as retzero, AHA or BHA that are not suitable for children's skin.

3. Sunscreen

The use of sunscreen or sunscreen is also important in early skin care. Children's skin must be protected from UV exposure so that skin diseases do not occur in the future.

Choose a type of mineral sunscreen that contains zinc oxide or titanium is oxided because it is safer and does not cause irritation. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and PA++ every morning, before the child does outdoor activities.
