Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam down to the Jonesy the man of
Arms for the pub test today, kids having a skincare routine?
Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
And really about a nine year old who's been having
she's got an extensive skincare and makeup routine since she
was four. She's and a lot of them. These products
are marketed to young girls. They are now the new
marketing target group. Some dermatologists are saying that young skin
is delicate and developing, and there's collagen and barriers are

(00:30):
still strong at that age, and some of these products,
if they're using products designed for older people, they're going
to damage their skin and compose more risks than benefits
separate to the damage you might be doing. Is it
necessary for young kids? The imagery you're selling them is
that they need to spend money on this stuff, etcetera, etcetera,
buying little fridges to put their makeup in. I've never

(00:52):
had one of those.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I should have done this because I'm now fighting ten
of the possible seven signs of aging, but probably because
you didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
You never moisturized. Did you ever moisturize?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I never moisturized to moisturize a bit?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Did you.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
I don't think I ever moisturized. It wasn't like we
never drank water. We didn't moisturize. How to have we
survived Brendan. But sometimes I remember washing my face in
fis a hex because that was when I had pimples.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
That was the foaming stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, this is stringe and I don't have kids still
use it. You must have just put chloroform on your
pH yeah, yeah, yeah, but these things, as this dermatologist
has said, SPF important in Australia, and if you're going
through the preteens and you're getting oilier skin, take care
of that by a simple cleansing in the morning and
using maybe a light moisturizer at night. The rest of
it is not necessary. But kids on average are spending

(01:40):
one hundred and forty dollars on skin care and this
is the first generation of young girls buying the same
products for their skin.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Is going to be healthier than smoking.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Well, why do you need to compare it to.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
That, because that's what It's the same thing as marketing.
When we were kids, everyone cigarette camberies wanted every under smoke.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, but we understand that that's not necessary and there's
a danger to that this is an unnecessary attention on yourself.
But there's teen, not even teen, younger influencers who are
encouraging girls to spend on it.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
What do you think kids having a skincare routine? Does
it pass the pub test?

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't think it passes the pub test. I mean
kids these days shouldn't have to worry about that their
skins still developing. That my little cousins do it and
they're only ten years old. They don't know what it is.
They're just going after the trends and it's actually ruining
their skin. So definitely does not pass the pub test.
Plus it's expensive.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I think picture today already have enough judgment with their
body whatever else they just decide to do. Yes, well,
a basic skin routine is perfect, and you know the
high school age until then, just a complete SPS is
perfectly scient So to me, it.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Doesn't pass the pub test.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
I think it's a whole lot of crap. I think
it's a big marketing thing by the manufacturers. Like back
in my day, my grandma was in all of you
land and a so light soap person. My mum was
a very similar seeing it, I'm just a Sorbeleine person
and I'm nearly sixty and my skin's perfect, so I
think it's all just mapping gone mad.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
I think there's a time and place for it. I've
been a dancer since I was young, and so I
have to use makeup a lot, so I feel like
it's important in that sense, but not everyone needs it.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Is true. I've been a dancer since I was young
as well.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I spent a lot of money on skincare, but I'm
all here that a lot of that is just. It
probably is, but I choose to buy the hype for that.
I choose that, but I'm not preteen. My surprise you
to hear

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Thank you for all your cult calls.
