Teen Essentials

items Teen life comes with its own set of needs. These are products that have worked well for my teens—from skincare and shower essentials to school, sports and everyday basics. I’m sharing the things we’ve found genuinely useful along the way, including w...
My son deals with back breakouts, especially during football season when there’s a lot of sweating and showering. This long-handled silicone scrubber makes it much easier to reach and clean his back instead of trying to awkwardly reach those areas by...
Silicone Back Scrubber for Shower & Face Scrubber
My teens use these when they’re dealing with breakouts or irritated skin. They’re quick, easy and don’t turn skincare into a complicated routine. If I’m going to get them to be consistent with anything, simple is key.
MEDIHEAL Madecassoside Blemish Care Toner Pad
We found this one by accident. I bought it as a dandruff shampoo for my son, but after he started using it, I noticed his skin was looking better too. He plays football and works out, so sweat and excess oil are a constant battle, especially with bre...
DR.FORHAIR Aero Cooling Shampoo 16.91oz
Football season means lots of sweat, long practices, and plenty of showers. We tried other products first, but Carpe has worked the best for my son during football season and busy school days.
Carpe Antiperspirant & Deodorant Underarm Stick
I bought these because sometimes the little round patches just aren’t enough. You get a ton in the pack and I really like having the different sizes, especially when a breakout is more than one tiny spot. This is the big stash option—and with teens, ...
TKTK Pimple Patches for Face, Hydrocolloid Acne
We’ve gone through a lot of pimple patches in this house and COSRX are still a favorite. They stay put, aren’t super noticeable and are great for those random breakouts that seem to appear overnight. We always seem to need another pack.
COSRX Acne Pimple Patches Hydrocolloid Spot
If you have a boy who plays sports, you already know there are never enough socks. 😂 Between practices, games, workouts and teams wanting specific colors, we are constantly buying more. I like having inexpensive multipacks around so there are extras...
Athletic Crew Socks - Light Compression
I’ve bought six of these. One for each kid, replacements, extras—you get the idea. The built-in cords are what sold me because there’s no separate charging cable for them to lose, and the whole thing plugs directly into the wall to recharge. They’re ...
VRURC Portable Charger w/ Cables & AC Plug
Teenage boys are gross. I say that with love. 😂 These are easy to throw in a backpack, sports bag or bathroom and require absolutely no explanation from me about why they might need them. I consider that a win.
DUDE Wipes Odor Destroyer
My son used his Recon all last school year and it held up so well that he’s using the same one again this year. My daughter needed a new backpack after her light pink one got pretty gross after a year of school, so this time she went with a black Rec...
The North Face Recon Laptop Backpack Blk
Earbuds have been on our school supply lists for years because the kids use them with their school-issued Chromebooks. These JBLs are a great middle ground—I wanted something with good sound and noise canceling without sending $200 earbuds to school ...
