    skincare for my 9 year old?

    DD seems to be starting to get pimples at 9 years old. I need to get her some soap or something to wash her face with at night. She is a really girly girl and would love to use cleanser and moisturiser but I want something that will suit her young skin. Do you think Dove soap would be OK? Do you think she should need a moisturiser at 9 years old? Any help and experiences gratefully received as I am hopeless at cleansing my own skin so really need some guidance. I think things like clearasil and proactive are probably a bit over the top for a 9 year old with just a few spots? what do you think?

    I'm not sure if they still make it or have a substitute but when i was 12 i broke out alot so my mum bought i think it was called 'Nivea Young' it was a cleanser, moisturiser and toner and they were great.

    It is were my 9yo DD, I'd be going for something organic. No way would I want to inflict chemicals such as those in beauty products on 9yo skin. Maybe check out the Miessence range of products? I would be more than happy to part with the $$ if I knew I wasn't overloading her skin with chemicals. Plus they wouldn't need much anyway so anything would last a while.

    Maybe try the moogoo range much gentler on younger skin.
