In fact, pore decisions.
It is no secret that young girls are obsessed with beauty, just see the popularity of the videos “Get ready with me” on social media.
In a survey last year, more than three out of four parents (76%) reported that their girls from 7 to 17 years old have a “skin routine”.
A new innovative study of the Northern University -warns that these girls are covering a lot of money for the skin that can cause redness and not to protect them from the harmful rays of the sun.
“It is problematic to show girls who devote so much time and attention to their skin,” said Dr. Molly Hales, Dr. Molly Hales, a postdoctoral researcher and a dermatologist certified by the Northwest University of Feinberg School of Medicine.
For this study, Hales and another researcher created their own Tiktok accounts under the costume they were 13.
They collected 100 unique videos suggested on the “for you” tab.
They analyzed the demography of content creators, products used and the total cost of routines, finding that girls aged 7 to 18 apply an average of six facial products at a time.
Some girls use more than a dozen.
Researchers estimated that these children got an average of $ 168 for about a month value. In cases of falling the jaw, they spend more than $ 500.
The products of the most important videos contained 11 active ingredients on average. In a clip, a creator rubbed 10 products on his face in six minutes.
“As the products are applied, it begins to express discomfort and burns, and in the last minutes it develops a reaction of the visible skin,” said the author of the higher study, Dr. Tara Lagu, an assistant professor of Medicine and Medical Social Sciences at Feinberg.
Hales said that irritation comes from using active ingredients in chickens, as well as applying the same active ingredient over and again, not knowing that it is in various products.
Girls also at risk of sun sensitivity and a skin allergy known as allergic contact dermatitis, which causes rash.
Only 26% of daytime skin regimes included sun protection, the North study -west, although it is key to preventing skin cancer.
The research, invoiced as the first study reviewed by equals to explore the advantages and cons of the skin routines for shared teens on social media, was published on Monday in Pediatrics.
Beyond health risks, mental discomfort is also a concern.
Beauty videos on social media can help reduce self-esteem and pressure to settle for unrealistic beauty standards.
Lagu said that many videos “highlighted the lighter and brighter skin.”
“We are establishing a very high level for these girls,” Hales said.
“The search for health has become a kind of virtue in our society, but the ideal of” health “is also very wrapped in ideals of beauty, thinness and whiteness,” he added. “The most insidious of the” fur “is that he claims that this is health.”
Tiktok is only for users of 13 years and more, a representative reminded CNN and too young creators are eliminated from the platform.
The company also works with developmental experts and third -party doctors to establish safeguard policies, added the spokesman.
