Young Girls' Use of Anti-Aging Products Raises Concerns
News summary

Young girls are increasingly using adult anti-aging skin care products, leading to severe skin issues such as rashes, chemical burns, and permanent scarring. Dermatologists like Dr. Brooke Jeffy warn that these products can prematurely age young skin and destroy the skin barrier. The trend is fueled by social media influencers promoting a flawless complexion, causing girls to develop complex routines with harmful products. Beyond physical harm, this fixation on appearance is linked to mental health problems, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. Experts recommend that children only use gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen, with brands like Cetaphil and CeraVe being suitable for young skin. Additionally, Black girls face disproportionate risks due to hazardous ingredients in products targeted at them, exacerbating long-term health issues.
