There’s a rise in the number of teens - and more alarmingly a number of younger children - reaching for highly active skincare products in a bid to recreate the skincare routines of the content creators they're watching on TikTok. However, in doing so rather than achieving perfect skin, they are in fact causing severe damage. Whilst social media is a wonderful place to broadcast information and educate, the lack of regulation around misinformation has a lot to answer for.
Just after Christmas I was having dinner with a friend. We were talking, as you always do in January, about how we had coped with an extended time with our families. We talked about the drinks, the arguments and of course the gifts. I told her about the chic Host candlestick holders that my husband had given me and she told me something so shocking that I had to put my cutlery down. Her 13 year-old niece had been given a bottle of Drunk Elephant's Baby Facial.
