Young People Increasingly Seeking Out Cosmetic Botox Treatments, Skincare Products As Part Of "Anti-Aging" Craze

CNN (1/16, Musa) reports, "Although most Botox recipients are middle-age, dermatologists and plastic surgeons say they're now catering to a new group of patients: Gen Z." And "the anti-aging craze is not unique to young adults. Preteens dubbed 'Sephora kids' can be found racing down cosmetic store aisles in search of trendy skin-care products they've seen online." However, "tweens who are desperate to fit in can unintentionally harm their skin barrier by using skincare products that are not meant for them." That barrier "is meant to protect from irritants such as pollution, dust mites and fragrances in skin care products, according to the American Academy of Dermatology," and "at 9 or 10 years old, the skin barrier is not fully formed and is easily damaged by products with active ingredients like vitamins A and C."
