Pore decisions, indeed.
It’s no secret that young girls are fixed with beauty – just look at the popularity of the video “Get ready with me” on social media.
In a study last year, over three in four parents (76%) reported that their 7 to 17-year-old daughters have a “skin routine”.
A new initial study from the northwestern university warns that these girls are lifting a lot of money for the skin that can cause redness and not protect them from harmful sunlight.
“Problemly problematic to show girls who devote a lot of time and attention to their skin,” said the author of the relevant study Dr. Molly Hales, a postdoctoral research associate and board dermatologist at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine University.
For this study, Hales and another researcher created their own Tiktok accounts under the guise that they were 13.
They collected 100 unique videos suggested in the “For You” tab.
They analyzed the demographic of content creators, used products and total cost of routines, revealing that girls 7 to 18 are applying on average six facial products immediately.
Some girls use more than a dozen.
Researchers estimated that these children on average $ 168 for products worth about one month. In cases of jaw landing, they are spending over $ 500.
Products in higher -view videos contain an average of 11 active ingredients. In a clip, a creator rubbed 10 products on her face in six minutes.
“While she is applying the products, she begins to express discomfort and burns, and in the last minutes, she develops a marked skin reaction,” said the author of Higher Study Dr. Tara Lagu, a lecturer of medical medicine and social sciences at Feinberg.
Hales noted that irritation stems from the use of products with active collision ingredients, as well as applying the same ingredients over and over, not knowing that it is in some products.
Girls also face the risk of sun sensitivity and a skin allergy known as allergic contact dermatitis, which causes a rash.
Only 26% of day -to -day skin care regimes include the sun screen, the northwest study was found, although it is essential to prevent skin cancer.
Research film as the first study revised by peers to explore the benefits and evils of the skicing routines of adolescents shared on social media published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
Beyond the dangers of health, mental distress is also a concern.
Beauty videos on social media can contribute to the lowest self -esteem and pressure to reconcile with unrealistic beauty standards.
Lagu noted that many videos “highlighted the skin lighter, brighter.”
“We’re setting a very high standard for these girls,” Hales said.
“Following health has become a kind of virtue in our society, but the ideal of” health “is also very finished in the ideals of beauty, detail and whiteness,” she added. “The secret thing about ‘skcincare’ is that she claims to have to do with health.”
Tiktok is only for users 13 of the older, a remembered CNN representative, and the creators who are very young are removed from the platform.
The company also works with experts and doctors of third -party adolescents to set defensive policies, the spokesman added.
