It broke my heart."
But of course, she doesnt want to hear that part, right?
She just wants to fit in."
Retinol is so harsh, especially for a child.
And no 10-year-old child should be concerned with getting wrinkles.
It broke my heart."

“It is trendy, and they are finding these tutorials from influencers on YouTube and TikTok.
My daughter is turning 10 and talks about contour, highlighter, and 10-step routines.
She has moisturizer, cleanser, and some makeup for play.
It has become an obsession like putting filters on photos on Instagram!
So not needed at age 10.
Very detrimental to their mental health.
“Really this is on the parents.
As a mother of six, I know that my 10-year-old kids didnt ever have a job.
But apparently, nobody in this country knows how to tell their children no anymore.

“My brother’s girlfriend’s daughter is 11 and LOVES Sephora.
He was like, ‘Honey, that’s an old person thing; you’re 11.
You don’t need to worry about wrinkles yet!'”

All she needs is a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
This should be more on the parents than the store.
I would never just let her grab stuff and use it.
I do, however, think hygiene and skincare is important to teach them.”
“I absolutely don’t buy makeup.
Don’t shop at Sephora.
It’s too expensive.
I let her play around with makeup at home, but I buy it at Target.
Or get a makeup kit on Amazon.
I just don’t get it!”

I definitely cut back on my child’s access to social media because of this.
The child will not always grasp what is for them and what is not.”

I cringe for her prematurely aging her skin."
“I mean, be a parent and monitor?
My daughter is 9 and has a skin condition that causes keratin buildup.
She has a skincare routine recommended by her pediatrician to treat it because it makes her feel insecure.
Its healthy when parents parent.
Yall really letting your kids just buy anything?”

I see where the trends are happening for sure.
My two older boys do skincare twice a day.
Theyre in sports so it helps with acne from sweating and hormones.

“My daughter is a skincare-obsessed tween.
At first, I was worried that she was concerned about wrinkles or saggy skin.
Its her money to spend.
I appreciate the list of harmful ingredients for young folks and will share these with my daughter.
Well also chat about tester etiquette.
“My family member who is 9 has just requested Glow Recipe Watermelon BHA Toner.

“Give me a break.
Let kids spend their money on what they feel like.
Theyre not worried about wrinkles and sagging skin; they just want to do what they see in videos.
And truthfully, once mine started taking care of her skin, I noticed immediately that she absolutely glowed.
Ive never heard her mention wrinkles.
They get excited about the packaging; they get excited about the smell.
Every generation has different trends.
I seriously think people forget what being a kid is like.
You say let them be kids, but thisisthem being kids!
Not every generation is the same, and were not supposed to be.

She told me I needed to start using all this stuff.
And since she’s a child, she doesn’t need that stuff, either.”

“My daughter is 10 and started getting pimples really young.
I made sure I got her very clean and age-friendly products.
Now she has her 10-step face routine thats better than mine, and her skin looks soooo good.
Im so proud of her.
This generation is more conscious; we just have to guide them to the right products.”

“My tween inherited acne-prone skin.
This trend has been a godsend!
“My 11-year-old is exactly like this.
I dont see the harm.
She loves doing her skincare routine and her makeup.
you could see it puts her in a trance and relaxes her.
She also does special effects makeup on herself which I think is very creative.
Better than being on the phone.”

The Sephora in the mall attached to the arena was PACKED with teens and tweens.
Shelves were bare, and the must-have accessory was that little white and black Sephora bag.
That was the fancy must-have product!

“My daughter’s enjoyment of her skincare routine is the least of my worries.
She is knowledgeable about the products, ingredients, drugstore alternatives, etc.
and purchases luxury items with her own money.
Her skin looks great, and she feels good.
The world doesn’t have to find fault with everything girls/women like.
My generation sure could have used more SPF early on!”
“My 10-year-old asked me recently if she could start a skincare routine.
She’s over the moon with her child-friendly face wash and moisturizer!

“Shopping in Sephora with my 14-year-old, I definitely notice how the store is arranged and set up.
Colorful, eye-catching displays, and the packaging is not set up for my age group.
Im a big believer in a simple skincare routine.
Every generation has its trends.
As parents, we need to lean in and ensure our kids are buying products suitable for their skin.
Read labels, stay informed, and communicate with our kids.”
