Over the holidays a lot of my daughter’s friends go away with their families.  But now that everyone is back at school, and everyone wants to ctach up, we are in full sleep over season.  Aside from the movies, the games, the pizzas, and the non-stop giggles, one of the many things I enjoy about these all-girl evenings is listening to my daughter and her friends discuss their “beauty secrets.”

It is amazing to hear how much they know from watching us. But what is needed is a bit more help in the execution of their beauty tips. For example, the girls all talk about the clear, beautiful skin they see on models on TV and in magazines, and they talk about needing teen acne washes or adult skin care products.  For these young girls, those products are really too harsh especially in cold, dry weather.

My classy girl is okay with me participating in these discussions because our product line, Ottilie & Lulu, is specially formulated for tweens, ages 7-14.  With the harsh weather conditions many girls talk about skipping washing their faces.  And most young girls don’t yet know the importance or benefits of using a facial moisturizer with sunscreen in the winter.  Now is the ideal time to encourage them to do both.  I discourage the use of soap, adult make up remover cloths or heavy, night time moisturizers.   

At our house the girls are offered Ottilie & Lulu Clean Skin Face Wipes at night before they go to bed.  The 100% cotton cloth is soft and the cleansing formula is very gentle.  In the morning, they are encouraged to repeat the cleansing process and to follow it with an application of Ottilie & Lulu Everyday Facial Moisture & Sunscreen SPF 20.  The quick dry, non-sticky formula gives the girls an instant smooth feel on their faces that they love.  All Ottilie & Lulu products are dermatologist, allergy, and clinically tested.  None of the formulas contain parabens, SLS, phthalates, mineral oil or petrolatum.

My classy girl and her friends love learning about how to take care of their skin with products made just for them.  Seeing them looking at their faces in the mirror–and liking what they see and feel makes us all feel happy.
