To say that this is frightening is putting it mildly. These are children. The only thing they need is to wash their face and use sunscreen. So we should blame TikTok? I see the mothers are right there next to these children, smiling and laughing as these young girls begin at the age of six to ... what... start with an obsession of body image? How about full makeup by seven and stilettos by nine? No - they're not being given the chance to understand and love themselves. They're creating themselves into some kind of image and it's frightening. Self care starts with loving ourselves. How does this work when children are the target? Jess, as you noted, this is the same demographic that is experiencing record rates of loneliness, anxiety and depression. And do we even know what harm this may be doing to their skin? Is the skin care industry now ramping up for a new line that will target the harmful results?
