Not to market to 10 year olds in terms of anti aging and to feed into those fears at 10 years old. The onus is also on the experts to make sure that kids and mothers also, and fathers and parents and whatever you are, know how to talk to their kid about taking care of themselves and not fearing the aging process. As a dermatologist, to keep it very simple for all the teens, the tweens and anything in between and all the moms out there who have teens or tweens need to just develop habits at this stage. Wash your face at night, so find yourself a cleanser that's good for your skin. Use sunscreen in the morning because that habit is going to be like brushing your teeth once you know how to protect your skin, you're going to require much less anti aging products once you are actually aging in the future. And three, find yourself the right moisturizer for your skin and your environment. And if medical problems arise, like acne or eczema or rosacea or whatnot, then we will deal with it when they arise. You don't need to prevent acne if you've never had acne. That's my rant. If you have any questions or comments.
