Thread: will wearing makeup at a young age ruin your skin in da future?

my sis is 12 i want to kno if she wears makeup now will it be bad for her skin

a lot of makeup has talc in it, which is just a really cheap filler makeup companies put in their products and it can be pretty bad for your skin.
most mineral makeup doesn't have any but you should check the ingredients.
as long as she washes the makeup off every night (especially eyes) she should be okay.

Smoking will age your skin prematurely. Most make-up has lots of moisturizers and tested thoroughly, so it's probably OK.

I'd suggest not using too many cleansers to keep your skin clean. Washing away the natural oils of the skin too frequently is a common mistake of young people. Drying out the skin effects elasticity and then ages your skin.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i started wearing makeup when i was twelve and now in 17 and my skin looks like im 30.
now im forced to wear makeup no matter what.

please tell your little sister she beautiful the way she is!

only if she uses the wrong stuff, doesn't clean her skin properly or doesn't use clean brushes it WILL harm her skin

Here's a good routine for someone her age:

1. clean the skin everyday
2. moisturizer with sunscreen (moisturizer is needed, even for oily skin)
3. translucent mineral powder (NO TALC- that stuff is a filler that does harm skin) (maybe bare minerals)

make sure she washes it off every night with a gentle cleanser (don't use acne cleansers 2x a day- it's too drying). ensure that she doesn't share brushes and they are cleaned daily. if she uses her fingers to apply, make sure the hands are washed thoroughly.

I hope it dosen't.
i wear everything,
(eyeliner, mascara, foundation, concealer, pressed powder, sometimes bronzer)
and im 13!
