Avast ye, mateys! Afore, we be fretting 'bout scallywags and their drug shenanigans. But now, we be fretting 'bout the potent elixir in the moisturizer o' Gen Alpha lasses. 'Tis surely a grand upgrade, says I! Arrr!
Tween girls are currently facing criticism for taking their skincare routines seriously. The older generation is upset that these young girls, known as Gen Alpha, are using high-end products on their already flawless skin. While previous generations worried about drug use, the focus has now shifted to the active ingredients in moisturizers. Videos online and segments on TV berate these girls for using anti-wrinkle cream when they don't have wrinkles. However, is it fair to make nasty videos about them in retaliation for their misguided choices?The videos also target these girls for being entitled and rude, but this is a separate issue. While it's not okay for tweens to demand gifts or be rude to store employees, the author argues that they haven't witnessed much of this behavior from Generation Alpha. These girls are largely poised and confident, with perfect skin.
Social media has played a role in influencing these girls. They have watched "get ready with me" videos where older girls apply serums and potions to their already beautiful faces. The younger set copies this look and even creates their own skincare routine videos. However, previous generations also had skincare routines, although they were not as well-informed or effective.
In contrast to previous generations, tween and teen girls today have fresh-faced and healthy-looking skin. They read product ingredients and are willing to make corrections to their routines if needed. They are motivated to take care of their faces without going overboard with makeup.
While Generation Alpha may overuse highlighter, this is a rite of passage for teenagers throughout history. The author believes it's important to let these girls make their own mistakes and experiment with skincare routines and makeup looks. Ultimately, they should be allowed to have fun and learn from their experiences, and maybe even share their products with others.
