Excessive products, aggressive ingredients and influence of unreal aesthetic models make routine for skin care a health risk
Summary
The famous Tiktok skin care routines, with excessive use of annoying products and ingredients, are harmful to the health of the skin and can cause physical and emotional damage and a simpler and oriented approach is recommended.
Recently published in Pediatrics magazine questioned these skin care routines aimed at young people on the platform. Researchers from Northwestern University created two accounts pretending to be 13 and analyzed 100 popular “prepares with me” (GRWM).
They observed that the girls between 7 and 18 years old use six different products for routine, with some reaching more than 12. The average amount spent per month on these precautions is approximately $ 168, which can exceed $ 500 in some cases.
Despite the high number of financial products and investments, only 26% of the daytime routines included the use of sun protection, considered the most important object to protect the skin from premature aging and cancer. In addition, the formulas analyzed contained, on average, 11 potentially irritating active ingredients such as acid hydroxes, retinoids and fragrances. These components are associated with contact allergies, irritation and exaggerated sensitivity to exposure to the sun.
According to Fábio Gontijo, the skin in development is more susceptible to damage: “The combined use of strong ingredients can compromise the skin barrier, causing chronic irritation, allergic dermatitis and, in the long term, preparing for diseases such as acne and eczema. In some videos, some creators reported being burned or had visible reactions after a few minutes”.
Despite the visual charm and the feeling of self -care, this practice can be misleading. According to the authors, it is clear that these routines offer few or no real advantage for the health of young skin.
In addition to physical risks, there are also emotional effects. The routines often enhance a lighter and more radiant skin “, strengthening non -realistic aesthetic models and bonds between beauty, youth, thinness and social role. This can generate low self -esteem, anxiety and dissatisfaction with the appearance, especially in children still in formation.
For most young people, a simple and fluid routine is the best choice:
Soft cleaning (2 × day) with products without fragrance;
Light and non -disturbing hydration;
Large spectrum sun protection (SPF 30+), especially in daytime routines;
Avoid strong active ingredients (acids, retinoids, benzoil peroxide) and, if necessary, use them with medical advice.
It inspires the transformation into the world of work, business, society. It is the creation of the compass, content and the connection agency.
