Recently, there has been a surge in skincare content targeted at kids and tweens on TikTok. While the intention behind promoting good skincare habits is commendable, concerns have been raised regarding the potential impact on impressionable young minds.

The tween skincare trend on TikTok often features videos showcasing skincare routines, product recommendations, and DIY treatments specifically targeted at pre-teens. While the intention may be to educate, it is important for parents to be aware as many of the products recommended may not be suitable for young, developing skin.

Instead of discouraging skincare altogether, parents can guide towards a more balanced approach. Teach the basics of cleansing, moisturising, and sun protection without overcomplicating the routine with unnecessary steps or products. It is important to choose skincare products that are suitable for developing skin. Professional guidance is important and we recommend consulting a skincare professional (you can find your nearest JMSR clinic here). Professional advice ensures that any skincare routine aligns with the individual needs and can be monitored.

Often a simplified routine of Gentle Cleanser or C-ESTA Cleansing Gel and moisturising with Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant is best. These products are gentle enough for use on the most sensitive skin and are a great place to start. JMSR also have products that can assist with acne, however it is best to book a consult with a JMSR skin professional to create a customised routine. They may recommend products such as Benzoyl Peroxide Wash, Benzoyl Peroxide Lotion 5% and Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant for these particular skin concerns.

Ultimately anything more active should be recommended by a dermatologist, not Tik Tok!
