What can happen quickly is a change in hydration, skin-barrier health, inflammation, sun exposure, stress, sleep, skincare habits, hormones, or environmental conditions that suddenly makes existing signs of aging much more visible. And sometimes, what looks like “sudden aging” is actually your skin telling you that your current routine isn't giving it what it needs anymore.

Whether you're heading into high school, starting college, going back to graduate school, or you're a parent trying to help your teenager figure out skincare, this guide breaks down how to create a realistic back-to-school skincare routine for clear, healthy skin. We'll also cover some of our favorite Hazy Halo skincare options from The Parlour for acne-prone, oily, dry, sensitive, and combination skin.
