What even is a cheek tint?! 😳

Cute Tips for Skincare Newbies (and their Parents!)
💄 “Tinted but gentle”: Let them start with sheer, hydrating tints like Perr Cherry’s lip & cheek balms. They add just a pop of colour : no cakey foundation or grown-up makeup needed. Perfect for school or selfies.
👄 “Scrub-a-little, not a lot”: Lip scrubs are fun : but remind them it’s once or twice a week, Not every day. Tell them it’s skincare, not sandpaper.
🧪 “Patch test party!”: Especially for tinted or scented products : behind the ear or on the wrist. It’s a cute ritual before it goes anywhere near those cheeks!
💅 “Makeup, not makeover”: Remind them that Perr Cherry isn’t for hiding, it’s for playing! A little glow, a little sparkle : and a lot of self-love.
🛍️ “Let them pick, but guide gently”: Teens love choice. Let them choose their tint shade or scrub flavor : but help them read ingredients together. It’s bonding and empowering. 🤝
