Children around the age of 10-12, known as 'tweens,' have gotten into the skincare game big time. And while creating healthy skincare habits is key and a great thing to instill in our children, the skincare craze may have gone too far with a heavy emphasis on actives and anti-aging!
Using harsh actives like alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin C serums, and retinols/retinoids can be too intense for young skin. Not only are these ingredients usually unnecessary for this age group, but layering too many products can also lead to redness, inflammation, irritation, and even skin damage!
Join me in my Weekly Recap Episode, where I share the key insights from this week's podcast episode with Dr. Brooke Jeffy.
Key Takeaways:
