A daily injection of creams a day… You don’t even know the evil you did to you. Scientists explain that Tiktok is destroying the skin of the younger ones – because all that is too much is a disease.
Even when it comes to skin care abuse is risky. Let it say girls between 7 and 18 years old who use, on average, six different facial products, according to a new from Northwestern Medicine, published in Pedriatics This month.
E There are young people who use more than 12 products in the face… every day. There are even those who spend almost 500 euros a month in a wide variety of products, according to.
Researchers now prove that this trend, promoted at Tiktok, essentially with the “Get Ready With Me”, can be dangerous to the skin.
In the first place, only 26% of the daytime routines studied by the investigation authors include sunscreen, an element that should be essential.
Then, the researchers explain, it is not good to combine several products that contain the same component, or ingredients that cannot be mixed.
“This high risk of irritation is due to both the simultaneous use of various active ingredients and hydroxy acids, as well as the repeated application of the same active ingredient present in three, four or five different products,” explained the lead author, Molly Hales.
The most viewed videos had an average of 11 active ingredients known for causing irritation. These may increase the risk of sun sensitivity and a skin condition called allergic contact dermatitis.
In addition, it emphasizes, “it is problematic to show girls to devote so much time and attention to the skin,” says Hales. “We are imposing very high standards on these girls. The search for health has become a kind of virtue in our society, but the ideal of ‘health’ is deeply intertwined with Ideals of beauty, thinness and whiteness. The insidious in ‘skin care’ is that they present themselves as health. ”
