Skincare for children and teenagers: when is it too much and even harmful?

on Jan 22 2026
More and more children and teenagers are using skincare, often inspired by social media and cheap foreign webshops. While well-intentioned, the use of overly aggressive ingredients can cause significant damage to young skin, which is still developing. Products from platforms like AliExpress, Temu, and Shein, in particular, pose risks due to unclear compositions and a lack of quality control. Skincare is not necessary until age 12, and from age 12, it's important to start gently with mild, safe brands like Mayee Skincare or Loveli if acne is present. Personalized skin advice from a specialized skin professional helps prevent skin problems and keep the skin healthy.
