I hold the parents responsible rather than the companies. Parents permit social media to influence the upbringing of their children. It is absurd.
Why? Why not the companies? Why can't they just label its not safe and tell the shops not to sale the kids. They're the ones who's profiting off of these kids. Even if the parents keep away the social media from the kids they can always learn from the other kids in the school.
@@shahidakhanam3449 I can tell u know absolutely nothing about business. Stores can't do that. Why? Because if kids are not allowed to buy it for themselves, they're gonna make an adult buy it for them. It's nothing new, it's been happening for years. Like underage kids buying alcohol and vapes. Companies and stores can only advice them, they can never stop them. It's upto the parents to raise their child and teach them what's right and wrong.
@@shahidakhanam3449while brands can recommend that children don’t use their products, because they’re not a protected substance (like alcohol) or something determined by a United body to be inappropriate (such as a rated R movie), it would be age discrimination for a store employee to not allow a child to buy it. They could then get arrested and lose their job, depending on the severity. They would have to get a proper age restriction on it, which I’ll be honest, I don’t know how difficult it is to do so, but then not doing that would be profit based, yes. At the moment though, it’s much easier to tell parents to pay attention to their kids, which they should be doing, because rolling out a change like that would take a while
So well said
My daughter is 10 and so many of her classmates have phones and are on Tiktok.🙈
These parents act like they're scared to tell their kids no.
Cos if you do anything negative towards your kids and don’t let them do what they want these days, you’re labelled an “abuser”😂
Yeah, not allowing kids to transition is killing them tho gotta say no to little things unless it's a permanent change
Do you believe those kids asked for the products just out of nowhere ? Most of the parents put their kids in this, not the other way around. So they can say no but since they are the ones who put their kids in, they cannot say no. They create channel and make their kids involve because that sells more, that makes more views so more money. We are seeing more and more parents using their kids for videos.
@@mokaLAREyou hit the nail on the head! These parents are trash for doing this.
Most parents probably aren’t that aware. If my kid asked to buy some lotion or face cream, I’m not going to be too concerned about it. And if they’re tweens, I’m probably just handing them some money to spend at the mall/store with their friends.
Why are these kids in a rush to be adults? And why are their parents buying them these products they OBVIOUSLY don’t even need???
Because their parents are that generation that just push their kids but they are not aware of the damage they can cause on their kids
Idk I was one of the tweens who actually NEEDED better skincare because I developed so early. I don’t think 10-13 is necessarily as young as we think, I definitely had “adult” skin concerns like acne, dryness, and sun protection. The pharmaceuticals I was put on (and improperly instructed on) were much harsher than these over the counter products.
Do you guys not understand that us teenagers have hormonal skin? A lot of us deal with Acne, dryness, and hyperpigmentation. My skin looked horrible before I started using skincare products, I had tiny little bumps and blemishes on my face but once I got in to skincare… my skin was glass
They are not in a rush to be adults, actually the opposite 😂
@@chelsee_bbtte841Right, I started getting pimples and bumps and dryness on my skin when I was 11
The only product these tweens and teens should be using on a regular basis to prevent skin damage and aging is sunscreen.
That’s not true. For example, moisturizer, acne cream, etc., are often beneficial. Most teens experience acne and other skin problems, and just soap and sunscreen isn’t a one-size-fits-all skincare regimen.
@@jjjjjjjjkigghh8662true but they should be using age appropriate skincare. Some of the stuff marketed towards adults-older adults can damage their skin.
And wash/ moisturize (but veeeery basic ones with, for example, glycerin as the star ingredient lol)
So ur saying teens, but it’s really the younger kids. At 14, 16, 18 you a girl needs skin cream for certain times of the month and when pimples come up. 11 year olds mostly still have perfect skin. But as a teen I understand that some of my pears need creams, or like my older sisters use cream too.
@@Loverera2023 my comment was really just saying that if you are informed and care about skincare, sunscreen should be a top priority. Preventing skin damage from sun exposure is gonna be the best lesson you can teach your kids. Kids do not need to be using 15 products on their faces. All people should use what is geared towards your age demographic and what is needed for your skin type and issues. As parents it is our job to stay informed and be smart consumers for our kids well being.
half of them aren't tweens, they're children lol
A tween is a child.
@@bren7067 a tween is ages 10-12, one of the girls was 9. a tween is a child but a child isnt a tween
Perfect age to start HRT tho, can't be a bigot. Kids need it
@@valentine45 inserting this at the weirdest and most irrelevant time lol
@@hi_im_kai9111 Tweens are starting around 8/9 years old and end at 12.
When they get 20, they are going to have poor skin barriers.
Not true! Cleansing, moisturizing, and age appreciate skin care DOESNT hurt skin.
@@apara2005 Not necessarily. You have to know what's in the products and if they are age appropriate. Plus, these kids do more than just the basics.
@@apara2005did you mean age *appropriate skin care? Are you one of the 10 year olds in this video? Get back to school!
@@apara2005did you watch the video? These children are using retinols and acids on their undeveloped skin.
@@apara2005I tried a skincare routine recommended for girls with extreme oily skin like me, and i noticed it made me look dry, stressed, crusty and it made me look older. I stopped using it for a week, my plump, oily, but youthful looking face was back. I guess the oil makes my face look less tight and more soft
9 year olds doing ulta hauls?? 😮 I’m 41 and don’t even do that..
I wish I could afford to do that!
There are some 9 year Olds that have problems skin due to puberty.
@@apara2005But expensive things from ulta are unnecessary. They can get budget friendly skincare from TJ Maxx or target.
@@apara2005 majority of them don’t though . And should start with a gentle cleanser and moisturizer like cetaphil or cerave. I was a 9yo with acne. You still have to fine an age appropriate skin solution.
@@apara2005That doesn’t mean they need to use all those products. When I had problem skin as a teenager at 13 I used an acne cleanser, moisturizer with spf 15 and spot acne treatment for break outs and exfoliated my skin once every 2 weeks. These kids are going to damage their skin. I’m 44 and people think I look 29. I use a cleanser and a moisturizer with spf 30. Occasionally I use masks on my skin when it’s dry in the winter. Those parents aren’t doing their job and saying no. And considering you keep defending this sort of behavior beneath other peoples comments makes me think you’re a child yourself.
Why do parents allow their children to do this??!!
Exactly, all these parents are the ones allowing this and most likely the ones paying for it
Because they like to pimp out their child.
Money.. the parents get lots of ads dollars on these platforms
Out of sight out of mind unfortunately
This is terrible for America, kids should be on hormone blockers not face washes
Why the hell would a nine year old even need a skin care routine?! When I was nine I cared more about playing in the dirt with my brothers. The first time I ever used any skin care products was when I was around 15 or so and tried some acne treatment for my pimples. Now in my late twenties my skin looks fine as it is. This is a crazy time to be alive 💀
honestly so real 😭 i used to use lollipop as pretend lip gloss and that was it (tbh i still do)
When I was nine, I was busy watching Disney movies and playing with my dolls.
I'm 11 and I'm a gen alpha, I don't even do this like I don't understand people who do this. Yes, you can have like a moisturizer and a cleanser and lip gloss at 10-11 but nothing else.
@@sweethistorteasame here.
Right?! My skin care routine was a bath every couple of days.
Spf & moisturizer. That's all they need. Excessive products cause inflammation in young skin which is harmful. 😢I hate that they feel the need to do this.
If they feel they need to do all this, it means they don't know what they're doing. As skin care routine is suppose to be ajusted to your needs, and it's not all about wearing creams !
My daughter is 10 and she also needs a cleanser like many preteens
@@surlespasdondine Skin care isn't a need. It's a luxurious hobby, not like eating, sleeping, going to school, ... She doesn't need a cleanser, however if you wanna help her out taking care of her skin, gonna have to be careful about which one you pick. I would start focusing on a sunscreen though...
And a gentle cleanser if needed
@@oceaneo4603Cleansers are important to prevent the skin from bacteria and acne.
Tweens??? You mean children-PreTeens??? It's Literally 6-13yr olds... Some people even have skincare routines for their babies! Wtf is wrong with these "parents" ?!
Tweens are children 10 to 12. Parents are the ones to blame 100% they are the ones buying these products
They mean CHILDREN
Irresponsible parents are becoming the norm, and when consequences happen the first thing they'll do is point their fingers everywhere else but at themselves.
They will blame the companies for not putting warning labels. I don’t think the companies care who buys their products. But they know It’s more costly to deal with lawsuits and repairing their image than losing a few bucks in the tween market.
Parents are so focused on exploiting their babies for views and money. Smh. Look out for them years from now crying their regrets, when their babies are depressed from having bad skin (irreversible from early use of skin care products),or worst suicide.
💯
Yup.
Parents should not be taking their kids to the store. Sephora should be for 16+.
It shouldn’t be for 16 year olds usually either. Beauty stores are supposed to patronaged by 30 or 40 year olds and older not kids. Even people 16-18 are still kids/children and to some extent 20 year olds are still kids or young adults or just barely adults. People under 25 generally have no need to even set foot in beauty stores
@@isabellarhoslyn1579 I disagree with you on 16+ years old. 16 years old are definitely old enough to start playing with makeup as a means of self expression if they desire. Plus many teenagers and young adults under 35 struggle with acne or other skin conditions that a skincare routine can help with. There's also something to be said for developing a skincare routine when you're young so those habits will carry on with you as you get older. It's absolutely ridiculous that 9 years old or younger have these multiple steps routine and I definitely blame the parents, but I don't think teaching a kid that they need to wash their face twice a day and use sunscreen in the morning is a bad thing.
LACK OF PARENTING!!!!
Seriously, parents today should be putting kids on HRT. It's totally safe and saves kids
C’mon… a 9 yr old isn’t even a tween. That’s a plain child. 😭
A tween starts around 8/9. Girls that young can and do start puberty.
@katepausig8562 No, a tween starts at 10 or 11… and yes, a select few of kids start that early but no, not really 😭
These kids will go crazy once they turn 40 and start seeing small lines on their skin cuz THIS is what their conditioning is
Either that or they’ll burn out and throw it all out by the time they actually hit adulthood.. time will tell..
This is insane. These kids are still developing, why would they need anything outside of lipgloss and sunscreen. I used to love Claire's as a little girl, they are what is acceptable for little girls. Like what is the world coming to? And this is a case of "just because you have the money, you don't need to spend it". Sephora and Ulta is expensive AF!
Stores like Claire’s sell makeup items that are really bad for your skin. Everyone should do more research before using these types of products
I d’ take my youngest niece to Claire's
@@yt1. Not when I was growing up
I feel so bad for the kids who rush to grow up, they're missing out on so much and they'll realise that when it'd be too late for them to go back
I am in my 40s and I don’t even have these products or this extensive skin steps
I only started skin care when I was 36! Most people don't need skin care other than spf or maybe acne treatment even in their 20s, this is crazy!
Me either but maybe I should because my skin is horrible
It’s absolutely wild. Twenty somethings are injecting Botox 😮 because they think it’s necessary to prevent movement in their faces which could cause *GASP* fine lines!!! I’m saddened that the worst thing society tells women we could be is visibly aged or fat..Even more sad that we started believing that and working our asses off to avoid it..we spend our money, our time and our mental resources on trying to remain young and attractive when we could be enjoying much fuller, happier lives.
I’m in my early 30s and just now started to really make sure to wear moisturizer everyday and have learned to treat acne correctly. I have pretty healthy skin and have been told I look like I’m in my early 20s so I haven’t really thought about it much. Those fine lines are starting to show now though.
@@TheMah84same! I started because my skin took a hit after my last pregnancy. I can't imagine a child using an exfoliant 🤦🏾♀️
This is a great example of how programmable we are, and how careful parents have to be with kids and social media.
My daughter saw all these videos and of course wanted some I looked into and did my research she got a nice moisturizer and some sunscreen that’s it
good parenting right there!!
@@jswatchingyt not really if she lets her kid get brainwashed by social media
@@user87255 As a teacher I can tell you that a child, even without social media, is easily influenced. She did the right thing, they saw something on social media, they asked for it, she didn't say yes right away but rather she investigated and gave her two products that dermatologists recommend for skin care appropriate to their age
" I am in my happy place" lol. My happy place was playing with my friends, going swimming, riding my bike, creating forts outside in the summer. Not spending a ton of money on skin care lol. Parents are truly failing.
WTH😂? I didn't even remember to put lotion on as a tween. What is wrong with the world?
Massive consumerism
Fear of aging bc they'll have nothing to show for it
Were you bombarded with six second ads in tiktok with great filters and aesthetic videos? You can hardly blame them, it really messes with your brain.
what’s with parents letting young teens or twins have a skin care routine your face isn’t a cake just teach them good hygiene in todays society social media is making it so young girls think if they don’t do this their not good enough or pretty
First of all, the parents have to do with it a lot but not ALWAYS! In my community this never happens. But dragging teens who need creams for their skin doesn’t make any sense. A 10 year old should not be using it to most opinions but who am I to judge. As a teen who only uses water, soap, and pimple patches I know and understand that some people need this at certain times if the month. So this is made for teens. Ex. 14+
@@Loverera2023wrong. I started getting acne at 11
@@ih4artsza ofc that makes sense. I see how the comment came off, but this one was just for this persons comment. On my other replies I definitely make more sense and agree with you. I said 14+ so some ppl don’t raise their pitchforks, but if a Dr or parent tells a kid to use this cream or they need it then they shouldn’t be dragged into all this.
@@ih4artszaI started getting it at 9🥲 but my mom actually parented and took me to a dermatologist, instead of buying tons of products
It's good that these brands are being responsible and making these disclaimers. And, while brands can be transparent, it is on these children's parents/guardians to do the research and make sure that the kid is being safe!
Honestly idk why parents get mad at kids/their kids at having a skincare routine when the parents are the ones buying it for them
Kids are growing up to fast and are way to exposed to shit they have no business doing or seeing. The world is getting scary
these parents just dont know how to tell their kids no
I don’t understand why parents would waste money on these products when kids that young usually have flawless skin.
Whatever happened to the glitter rollers and smackers chapstick from the 90s and early 2000s? That's what I remember as a young kid and fun! They came in fun smells like blue raspberry and were designed more for kids (I am pretty sure). I know a lot of these kids buy Drunk Elephant because of their colorful packaging, but they have no idea what anything that they pick up actually does.
Same here ). I know. Tell me about it.
I don’t like Florida, but they are considering banning social media for 13 and under which I think would be good.
that would be nice although some school assignments even for me are on youtube, luckily i’m above 13 so that’s good.
Lol these kids will never stay off of sm😂
@@newflower8974Exactly😂 They'll find a way to get on social media, even if it's banned.
Really?...how would Florida even regulate/enforce that? Leave parenting to the parents.
Florida is such a nanny state 😂 so you are excited you don’t have the “freedom” to parent your kids as you see fit? What’s next? Are you going to be excited to send them off to work in the Tyson chicken factory?
I was 15 when I was given proactive. A 3 step process that kept my skin clearer then a contact lense. Thats it. To think literal kids are using 9 steps is a special kind of unnecessary. I have toddlers and I have goals to teach them skincare can be great but its a responsibility. This is definitely the parents fault. Just irresponsible and its giving 'let me throw money at them so they can leave me alone'. I remember the day I realized things were getting out of hand with preteens when a girl was saying a sephora employee got verbally assaulted by a underage girl for recommending she shouldn't use retinol. I didn't try retinol till I was 30 due to the fear of destroying my skin. These are chemicals. We only have the one skin. Our kids don't have enough sense to know their being bombarded with ads. Its up to the parents.
Great parenting and I agree. The parents need to control their kids
*than
Proactive is pretty heavy duty though. I used it in my 30s and when I would toss the wet face cloth into the hamper it would bleach anything that it touched because the chemicals in the face wash were so strong. And I felt so dumb it took me a long time to figure out how my clothes were getting bleached in the laundry when I didn’t actually use bleach. It was the proactive
I am 40. I am still skeptical of using retinol! I have never had to use it. I stick to my basic; cleanser, serum, sunscreen, lotion, facial massage, proper diet and exercise.
Genzie here, and when I was a kid the most my mom would allow me to have was a moisturizer and lipgloss from like Justice or something. I didn’t start wearing makeup and following a skincare routine until I turn 16. Even now I wear minimal makeup and keep my routine pretty basic. I’m not a parent, but I could never imagine allowing my child to do this to themselves with products that they don’t even need and are probably harming them in the long run.
Good job to those companies!!
Kids that young do not need “skincare routines”. Maybe for some, acne or other dermatological treatments, but not the different chemical mixtures! Kids faces are very cute and natural and should not be experimented with. :)
I started skincare around 13 but it was mostly very basic products for my worsening acne. We also consulted a dermatologist who recommended me basic things such as cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen, that’s all I was doing until around 15-16 when my acne got much worse. Even though I was doing everything right, my dermatologist said we needed more medical intervention, so that’s when I finally got on the retinols to keep my skin at bay. I’ve been using retinols for almost about 10 years now just to repair damage done by the acne at this point, but don’t recommend anything heavy like that to kids unless it’s under the direction of a medical professional. They know what they’re doing, and we really don’t know better when we are that young. About to start anti-aging soon though lol! Gonna hit the big 3-0 in about 6 years 😂
I didn't even start using Clearasil and Noxema until I was almost out of high school..Parents with more money than sense evidently.
This generation is gonna have the highest rate of body dysmorphia.
This is absurd. I'm 41 and I don't even have this kind of routine (my skin looks great, by the way...no wrinkles or spots...it's about hydration and sun protection more than products). Kids should not be worried about this. Teach them about moisturizing and sun protection! That's all they need at that age.
I only got acne when I was 14-15. Back then (2009-2010) our skincare products were harsh and had lots of alcohol making our skin dry and more prone to acne. These teens are lucky that skincare products are milder these days. However, washing your face with any soap, putting moisturizer and sunblock on your skin is great already. Don’t introduce any products on your skin that might cause irritation.
9 year old skin care routine? 😂
I don’t believe I need to reiterate everything everybody’s already said, but I also see this as consumerism. Nice to see companies put people over profits for once. I’m just wondering if these young kids will earn enough money to cover these costs long term. And why would you add more negative thoughts for the kids to obsess about.
Some of these modern day parents are seriously off their rockers. I didn't even use Noxzema until 13. 10 steps skincare on baby skin? Ridiculous! Crying shame these companies even have to put such disclaimers out here.
Social media is so toxic. Listen up, parents! Being a responsible parent isn't being mean, it's protecting your childs present and future self. The older they get, the less influence you will have, so get a grip on it now!
My daughter is 11. She has seen videos on tik tok and she wanted to do the same. This year I started explaining to her to think for herself and make wise decisions. Of course I'm helping with the journey but point is she doesn't have to do whatever everyone is doing. Think make choices. I'm guiding with the idea it will eventually click.
Heck I’m in my 30s and I only use one face wash and one cream and one acne cream 🤣
My skincare routine as a teenager was Noxzema and Neutrogena sensitive skin moisturizer. Teens don’t need serums and eye creams
I’m 12, and obviously my parents say I don’t need a skincare rountine. And I get that. But my mom bought me and hylaronic acid from the ordinary. And trust me, it did nothing to my skin. If u want to have nice glowy skin just wash ur face with cold water in the morning and warm in the night. U will see a huge huge difference. U don’t need those fun products just because of how they look. My skincare routine is only 3 steps. (And I don’t even have and cleanser so I wash my face first properly) then I just apply a few drops of hylaronic acid, then with mosturizer then with my spf 30. That’s it, it’s a simple skincare routine. And there also many ways to do do it to like u can do diy face masks . From just using homemade spices. Fruts veggies, all those sorts are also part of a skincare routine too!
Tell us you failed as parents without telling us.
finally the brands are saying something, hopefully the parents will finally realize how bad this is
Gen Alpha at 9 yrs: Having 10 steps of skincare Me at 9 yrs: Too busy trying to figure out how to ride a bike without training wheels 😭
watch them getting chemical burns at age 15, and ruining their skin barrier at 16
I’ve seen commercials where the (possibly 18 yo) model looked like they were 12. Hopefully they’ll change that as well…
Remember it’s not the kids fault it’s the parents buying them
So sad to see these kids miss on their childhood without even knowing it..
what y’all don’t realize is it’s already too late for the masses. I’m 22 and social media/the internet influenced my generation heavily but the internet is not only influencing but literally raising Gen Alpha. telling them what to think and feel and that value lies in very superficial things. try taking a phone or IPad away from these kids and they’ll scream and cry and most parents seem to just give in these days because they don’t even recognize the harm and think their kids will ‘hate them’ because all their other friends have them. be very careful, yes social media is an issue but bad parenting is the problem that allows kids to be affected. genuinely ask yourself if what is online is really suited for kids. some of the most horrific and darkest sides of humanity I’ve seen on Twitter TikTok and other platforms that i no longer even give time to. on a very serious note their are countless groomers online that not even teenagers are equipped to deal with much less pre adolescent children who should be practicing reading or writing which is indeed on the decline according to multiple studies. if you have kids it’s time to really take responsibility.
When I was a teenager we all used makeup and used st Ives apricot scrub and neutrogena. I would never now. I’d break out in 5 seconds!
I’m 13 and I’ve been using acne cream since age 9, because I have acne problems. (It’s improving!!!) The fact that everyone is using retinol now is weird tbh
Is your acne cream hormone-enriched? That may be what is helping.
we have truly failed as a society if we have kids under the age of 10 obsessing over wrinkles and the quality of their skin.
Damn. I just moisturize. That”s only after I got yelled at by a Sephora worker for having incredibly dry skin (due to acne meds.)
They don’t need it , why aren’t the parents not telling the kids this, I heard now all these kids face/skin barrier will be gone by all these products.
I appreciate the use of a basic/ non irritant wash, moisturizer and sunscreen for every age (I would buy these kind of products for my kids if I was a mom)! Brands such as Cerave, Cetaphil, Bioderma and Hada Labo do such a great job with basic and gentle products! But retinol??? Glycolic acid?? Drunk Elephant serums with high percentage of actives they still have no age to use? Glow Recipe products with fragrance that might irritate even adult skin? No way 😂😂
I work at Ulta, and the amount of kids I see daily makes me feel like I actually work at a middle school.
here I am using just nivea creme, cleanser and sunscreen
I’m a 10 year old and all I’m allowed to use is sdj and laneige (lip balms) and summer Fridays 😭 I might be allowed to use a bubble moisturizer when I’m done with my dermatologist-recommended moisturizer, if the dermatologist lets me. I’m starting to get bumps on my face so all I need is just water and a bit of moisturizer! 💗
lol embryos doing hauls and I’m in the queue line with my single face mask like “damn that lip balm is expensive” 😂
Parents need to be responsible for this message not the companies! Please let kids be kids
what the companies need to do is print a warning label on the product indicating it is not for children under a certain age. it’d help with liability when these kids’ skin goes to hell or they have a horrific reaction. then their parents won’t be able to pursue any legitimate action from the companies in question
what a truly pathetic society america is.
The problem is that there are videos of parents who give their children their credit cards, leave them alone in a Sephora and leave or wait for them outside. It is of no use if there are no ones to supervise it
Go outside and touch grass! You’re perfect the way you are, kids
I love your comment. Good for adults, too.
also nisha noelles kids are only using the products for fun, and all of the products that they are using are safe for their skin, nishas children don’t use products that are not safe for the children, she addressed on her channel that the children use blush for fun!
A 9 year old’s skin care routine should be washing their face and putting on sunscreen.
Here's the only step you need if you're below 20. 1. Cleanser 2. Toner (non-astrigent) 3. Moisturizer 4. SPF
You know what my skin care routine was.. bar of soap and water.. All that crud skin care just ages your skin.. best thing is just little bit of sunscreen and plain old moisturizer in the winter.. Honestly, I rarely got pimps as a teen (because I didn't clog my pores with trendy junk.. and by my twenties, people thought I was so much younger than I was.. unlike a friend who aged her skin with tons of makeup in high school (she looks un natural now if she doesn't put something on.. that stuff stripped away her true beauty)
I cannot believe that they're framing this as an "oh, it can be hard to tell what's safe and what's not on young skin." What!? LITERAL children do NOT need anything other than a VERY gentle face wash, standard face moisturizer, and of course sun screen. The lack of common sense is insane.
My my what is happening to these parents?!
Parents have forgot to parent
I’m 31 and don’t have a 10 step facial. My mom just bought me a simple face wash, toner, and lotion/spf.
Even toner is not necessary unless you’re at the age where you start wearing more makeup (concealer foundation blush contour etc)
All these products are so expensive, especially when you need 3-4 products for a routine. How are kids paying for any of this?
These parents are aware of what's going on. They either encourage and film them for the bag or don't care. It's not fair to the girls, and all these parents are gonna be in shock when their kids look like lizards by the time they're 25 and they don't talk to them anymore.
I’m 24 and I’ve struggled with oily skin and black heads since I was 15. I tried the sacylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, natural vegetable cleansers, retinol, everything they recommended to me! Even the natural vegetable cleanser was making my skin look crusty and wrinkly. Most of the products would only dry me out for an hour and than an hour later my oil would be back. I noticed though, when I follow a regular skincare routine, even with gentle cleaners only once a day, I’ve noticed my skin looks dry, crusty, stressed, and wrinkly. When I don’t wash my face and it only gets washed in my shower once a day, my skin looks youthful and elastic and soft. I guess the oils keep my face skin looking soft and youthful. It smooths out the wrinkles. I used to hate having a greasy face but now I don’t care. I’d rather have a greasy, soft and youthful face than a dry, crusty, and older looking one. Maybe I haven’t found the right balance for my skin, but I don’t got time for that!
These girls gonna look like they’re 30 before they graduate high school. 🤦🏼♀️
1) Where do the kids get the money for all this? 2) Why are they on social media?
The problem is that there are videos of parents who give their children their credit cards, leave them alone in a Sephora and leave or wait for them outside. Secondly, as a teacher I tell you that many children consume content from social media because their parents lend them their cell phones where they have Tik Tok, Instagram, KZhead and Twitter accounts.
they’re babies. they don’t need a 14 step skincare routine. when i was younger i had a super long and intricate routine. now i use 1 product, 1 moisturizer (by the same brand) and a retnoid and my skin looks superb.
I feel like they should make a section for kid’s skincare and adult skincare, because these white parents are wild
& teens as well ). Good idea actually have kids section adult section I d’ add teen section as well.
One concern I have is this focus on skin becoming a majar point of bullying and self esteem issues once they enter puberty. Things like hormonal acne can not be treated with store bought products.
it's their moms encouraging this. tell the parents.
My skin care routine as a child/tween/wtf ever : I washed my face every morning and night and took a bath every night. And that was my skin care routine.
Something I never thought would need to be said 😵💫
This is frightening.
I am fourteen and I use a moisturizer and face wash I found at cvs
Okay, I’d understand if they had acne like i do.. but wtf are people my age doing?
I’m 13 and I use the bubble water slide, their sunscreen, moisturizer and bounce back. Sometimes I use their acne stick thing when I have pimples. Is that too much?
why are parents allowing this crap is my question. no matter how busy you are with work, your kids are your responsibilities. companies like sephora must not allow these tweens inside at all if you ask me. social media has spoiled gen alpha! i feel like we weren't allowed a phone or social media until highschool and that helped us stay kids! gen alpha irritates me
So expensive. And for what? Their skin is in perfect condition. Parents are just wasting money so their child can keep up with “social norms.” Let’s bring back old childhood social norms.
This should honestly just be common sense.
that's so sad that a 10-year-old's happy place is the cosmetic section in some mall
Tell the parents, not the children.
My mom would barely buy me Clean & Clear lmao. We had Dove bar soap, and that was pretty much all the budget for skincare we had.
WTH is wrong with their parents. I can't even believe it's the big companies telling kids to slow down...
