Experts Warn Against Excessive Skincare Use

Parents are being urged to ensure that skincare products used by children are age-appropriate, as an increasing number of young individuals are developing rashes and irritations from inappropriate products, according to dermatologists. A mother from Sherburn in Elmet shared her experience after her daughter, who has eczema, suffered a rash due to beauty products not designed for young skin. Dermatologists warn that young skin is not fully developed and can react adversely to products intended for older users. Additionally, experts caution against the trend of young women using excessive and powerful skincare products promoted on social media, which can lead to skin damage, including rashes and burns. Influencers often showcase multiple products, creating unrealistic expectations for skincare results, which can result in adverse reactions. Dermatologist Dr. Anil Sharma emphasizes that using fewer, well-suited products is key to maintaining healthy skin.
