A Teen Skincare Party That Teaches Healthy Habits
A teen skincare party lets tweens and teens do what they already love, which is play with skincare, while learning what young skin actually needs. They make their own moisturizer, body butter, scrub and lotion, then go home with a routine they will use.
Glitters and Grace founder Cheryl Gleason is a trained cosmetic and skincare formulator. She built our skincare bar so girls could enjoy grown-up fun with age-appropriate ingredients.
- Age-based skincare cards
- No retinoids for teens
- Background-checked female hosts
- From $475
Why parents book a teen skincare party
Plenty of tweens are curious about skincare. Many want the same serums and actives they see grown-ups use. A teen skincare party channels that excitement into something healthy and fun.
Skincare cards made for each age group explain what young skin needs and how to formulate for it. The routine we teach is simple: cleanse, tone and moisturize. Strong actives like retinoids stay away from kids and teens. They are offered only to guests 21 and over.
Our hosts are background-checked, all female and trained to work with children. They include trained formulators, estheticians and cosmetologists.
Ingredient lists are available in advance. Tell us about allergies or sensitivities when you book, and we will plan around them.
What she makes at her teen skincare party
Four products she formulated herself, made from gentle oils, butters and extracts. Bases are unscented, so she adds her own fragrance and a little shimmer if she likes.
Facial moisturizer
Light and natural, built for her skin type with the help of her age card.
Body butter
Argan, shea and mango butters, whipped into something rich and soft.
Sugar scrub
Soft, smooth and fun to make. Every girl picks her own scent.
Lotion
Scented and shimmered her way, for everyday use.
Save her party date
Most Saturdays need six to eight weeks, and May, September and December need longer. If her party is sooner, reach out anyway. We have a large team of hosts and can often fit you in on short notice.
A simple routine for young skin
- Cleanse. A gentle wash morning and night. No scrubbing hard, no harsh foams.
- Tone. A light step that leaves skin feeling fresh and ready.
- Moisturize. The moisturizer she made at the party, formulated for her skin, whether it runs dry or acne-prone.
- Skip the strong stuff. Retinoids and heavy actives are for grown-up skin. Her age card explains why, in words teens actually read.
