The Growing Obsession: Teens and Tweens Embrace Skincare Craze

The obsession with skincare among teenagers, including 13- and 11-year-old girls, has raised concerns about whether it has gone too far. While skincare is important, experts suggest that tweens don't need to use as many products as they currently do. Dermatologist Dr. Steven Grekin advises using a gentle cleanser and toner, avoiding over-drying the skin, and opting for hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic products. He recommends La Roche-Posay as a quality and affordable option for tweens. Parents are advised to be cautious about falling for unnecessary skincare gadgets and to prioritize sun protection.
