[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for the question in the title: yes. DS has a skincare routine. I know he watches youtube shorts at school and he has seen those videos about sephora kids. He has also seen commentary on those videos from skincare experts, who all say that those kids a) definitely do not need the skincare they are buying and b) even if they did, a lot of it is extremely overpriced.

As to the question about having an expensive routine or going to sephora alone, no. I have taken him to sephora to get a serum from the ordinary, and he also uses a moisturizer, sunscreen, and cleanser from CeraVe or cetaphil. It's kinda cute and while he doesn't need the serum I'm happy he is getting into the habit of using a cleanser and sunscreen.

I cannot believe those parents let their kids roam around free in sephora and buy products that are actually damaging for young skin. Bizarre. I really think sephora should ban them from coming in without parents, at least.[/quote]

Your son is watching YouTube shorts about skincare? At school? [/quote]
He’s a gay obv [/quote]

I wouldn't care if he was gay, but he isn't. Taking care of your skin isn't considered as much of a threat to masculinity as it was in days of yore. Most of the videos of people responding to sephora girls with skincare recommendations are dermatologists, male and female. [/quote]

Buying a bunch of products at Sephora isn’t “taking care of your skin.”   All it is a falling prey to the social media trap to just spending money on things they see good-looking people endorsing.  That is all.

Skincare means washing face twice per day with a basic wash.  Maybe a basic moisturizer and sunscreen.
That is it.  Most teens don’t even need a moisturizer at all unless they are on acne meds.  Add some Stridex pads in for occasional break outs [/quote]
