I don’t like how there is always a corner of marketing with skin care. As I see it, the majority is sold in trick, not with value.
I have a boutique at Worth Avenue at Palm Beach, and someone came to the store yesterday asking if I was selling “Lumens”. I told him no, they don’t sell lamps. Clarify – it’s a kind of skin care. He said he was sold here on the Avenue. I told him there is no other skin care sold on the avenue and put his eyes on and showed a shopping center that turned to anyone who walks into Hebrew in Hebrew School, to hear them listen to people with industrial cream in cheap plastic jars, Hebrew School-Eight-Years, listening to the people I hear them).
I said, “This is not skin care. This is sales.” And he told him to leave.
This is the essence of the world of skin care – this is not the product. This is the money.
Now, I’m a capitalist. I like to make money and blow all on a horse that can’t run or a hand poker that looked like a lock at the moment. And I will be the first to declare that the business is not charity and profit is not a crime.
But I think it crosses a line and all bets are away when your product creates a victim.
And skin care creates many victims.
I began to Oumere because I got acne for the first time in my life – which caused completely from skin care. I did it worse by going to a dermatologist, then to an aesthetic. Skin care destroyed my skin until I made the oumere and the industry stood by rubbing hands together, smiling as it ran into my money.
When the oumere began to grow, I began to hear similar horror stories from my clients: Laser treatments that cause cystic acne, vitamin C serums and retinols that leave the skin raw and altered, hyaluronic acid.
This is pretty bad. But at least they were adults who told me their stories.
Now I see something worse: children-young young people such as seven who create elaborate rituals against aging by a nonsense of getting older.
And no, I don’t think their parents did that. They saw it in social media.
Affect this.
I don’t like influences. It’s just a modern term for “Charlatan”. I don’t like how they beg for free product in exchange for “exposure”. I don’t like how they disappear when you ask what charity work they have done. I do not like how they are self -inflicted, often unemployed, narcissists that are exclusively driven by materialism and greed.
And now I don’t really like it – because they have passed the line in child abuse. I have seen women’s videos in Tik Tok and Instagram preach in a deliberately young and impressive audience for the horror of aging and push the products they use to stop it.
Telling a child who needs anti-aging skin care, and then delivers a referral code to buy it, is not entrepreneurship. It is exploitation.
Children do not need anti-aging skin care. They need sunscreen and healthy diet. They are not even big enough to have skin problems. But now, thanks to these aromatic sweets – manufactured industrial, they were thrown into dirty packages and sold for a large amount – the kids start from skin damage.
I’ve said before: skin care causes more skin problems than almost anything else.
Now, thanks to the influences, the damage begins earlier – and goes deeper.
Why skin care is harmful to young skin
Children’s skin is fundamentally different from adult skin – it is thinner, more absorbent and still develops. The mattress of the mattress, the skin barrier, is significantly more permeable to children, which means that active ingredients penetrate deeper and faster, often leading to irritation, barrier disorder and long -term sensitivity. In accordance with Journal of Research DermatologyPediatric skin has a lower lipid content and a higher surface proportion to body, making it particularly vulnerable to water loss and chemical absorption of transopiderm water. When a child applies a serum loaded with vitamin C, exfoliating acids or retinol, it is not “preventive aging” – the premature damage to the system that has not even been completed.
A dermatologist in an interview said he has been facing multiple preteens in the past year for contact dermatitis, allergic reactions and chemical burns from modern anti -aging products they bought online. A patient, a 9-year-old girl, had set three serums, a niainamide graphite and a night nightclub cream-thought it was normal because the influence that followed said it was the “Holy Grail” routine. These children have no skin problems-they have anxiety caused by Tiktok and deliver them a bottle of glycolic acid poison as a solution.
Ethical collapse
I believe that the message to young girls who must have these beauty shapes without sending the same message to boys is part of a bigger growing problem. A sexist problem, a problem of self -confidence.
We used to sell wrinkle cream to women in the 1950s. Now we sell it to third parties. This is not an expansion of the market. This is the moral collapse. And the saddest place is that the younger they are, the more loyal the customer is.
I think young girls have it quite difficult, we don’t need another industry that makes them worse for them by creating a problem where there was no one before.
I don’t do it with that
A child came to the boutique and wanted to try all the products while her mother sat on the couch. He said he wanted to buy the collection set and the condenses because she liked the bottles. I asked her how old she was and said 9 years old. I gave her a blank bottle of condensation for free and told her that she didn’t need any of my products and return to 20 years.
