Dive into the beauty aisle with us in this week's episode of "What Nobody Tells Us," where we unpack the tween beauty product craze sweeping through the aisles of Sephora and beyond. I sit down with Natasha V. Glasgow, a licensed esthetician, beauty contributor and member of ELLE Magazine's Beauty Advisory Board, and mom to a 10-year-old daughter. Natasha's on a mission to demystify the skincare world for parents and their tweens, so let get to it.
With the rise of social media and peer influence, Natasha shares her firsthand observations from her undercover trips to Sephora, discussing the "smoothie" phenomenon, and the allure of brands like Drunk Elephant for the younger crowd. We tackle the hard-hitting topics: the product pitfalls that could harm developing skin, the financial pressures of keeping up with the Joneses, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with tween self-discovery and self-care.
Natasha brings her expertise and a mother's touch to the conversation, providing practical tips on navigating this delicate terrain. From fostering open dialogue with your children about beauty and self-worth to identifying the skincare essentials that are truly age-appropriate, Natasha's guidance is a beacon for parents wading through the cosmetic chaos.
Whether you're a parent to a tween, or simply someone who cares about nurturing healthy self-esteem and body image in the younger generation, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom, empathy, and empowerment.
