The 'Sephora Baby' Craze Has Tweens Obsessed With Anti-Aging. But Doctors Have Warnings

Huff Post  

Getty As a teen in the mid-2000s, the Proactiv commercials playing repeatedly on MTV were the beginning and end of my skin care education. There is a lot of ‘marketing noise’ on social media,” said Dr. Angela Casey, an Ohio-based, board-certified dermatologist and founder of the Bright Girl skin care brand. “Teens need to adopt skin care routines that ‘protect and preserve’ their skin, while adults often need to take a ‘reboot and reverse’ approach to address accumulated skin damage,” Casey said. There’s no shortage of videos on “SkinTok” featuring “10-Step Skin Care Routines” that involves applying product after product every night. “Teens tend to use more products in their skin care routines compared to 10 years ago,” Casey said.
