Скачать или смотреть DO KIDS NEED MAKEUP ? | Dr. Tanvi Vaidya

There’s 2 parts to this discussion:
1.Should we allow kids to wear make up?
2.What kind of make up is safe for kids?

Let’s start with point no. 1. Should we let them do make up? Can we expose them to make up THIS young!
Now this is entirely my own personal take on this, would love to know your perspective too!
Make up can be uplifting & fun for sure, but there’s a fine line between enjoying it and not being able to go without it. Wanting to hide perceived flaws on our skin, wanting to contour our faces and make them look slimmer, wanting to hide dark lips are also what can be done with make up. Little children, influenced by social media are buckling under unrealistic beauty standards, and I believe it is our job to protect them from it. I wouldn’t want any 10 yr old girl trying to slim and contour her nose, hide her double chin, hide her acne marks, have glass skin goals. Her self esteem isn’t fully formed yet, her self worth cannot be attached to the way she looks.
✅It’s essential that we as parents/guardians need to encourage self-acceptance and emphasise that beauty comes from within.

Point no. 2. If you do decide that it’s okay for your kid to wear make up (which is alright, this is a personal choice and I’m not here to judge), what kind of make up can they do?
❌Do not fall for the fancy, glittery, kiddie packaging, instead stick to standardised brands which are more suitable for kids.
❌Some makeup products may contain harmful ingredients which can cause allergies or sensitivity in early ages, which could impact their skin in the long run !
✅Use mild, fragrance free, non comedogenic and hypo allergenic products on kids.
✅Start with less. Just lip gloss to start with for pre teens. Then add in light BB creams or CC creams. Stay clear of heavy eye make up.
✅Go easy on sensitive, eczema-prone or acne prone skin.
✅Replace cosmetics every 6-12 months
