So when it came to buying something she wanted to mark her move to high school, Emma knew she would appreciate Boots’ skincare bundle.
She then revealed what she had purchased – the Slam Dunk moisturizer, Daydream serum and Bubble’s Fresh Start cleanser.
Emma also purchased Byoma Sensitive Skin Body Wash and Moisturizing Body Lotion.
“I like the idea that she knows how to take care of herself, how to take care of her skin,” he added.
“I wasn’t shown any of that as a child or teenager, so it’s nice to know she cares about her own care.”
She concluded the video by asking if anyone had spent similar amounts on their teenage children, writing the caption: “I spent £70 on my 11 year old’s skincare.”
People were quick to comment on the video, with many siding with Emma, as one wrote: “I spent around £150 on skincare for my daughter’s 11th birthday.”
“My daughter is the same age and loves all Byoma skincare,” added another.
“She wants to try Bubble when Byoma is finished.”
“Yesterday was my daughter’s 10th birthday and she got lots of skin care,” commented a third.
“I spent money on items for her that I would never spend on my own products.”
“My daughter just turned 9 and I bought her the same products for her birthday,” said another person.
“My daughter got skincare for her 8th birthday,” wrote another.
“She begged and begged me for Bubble and Byoma, so she had them.
“They told me it’s ridiculous!”
What Type of Skin Care Routine Is Suitable for a Child?
By fabulous beauty editor Tara Ledden
For children, skin care is simple, all it needs is a gentle cleanse, where I recommend something like Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser, £9.99, and a soft flannel, muslin cloth or sponge comes in handy for that ketchup dry difficult to move.
If your child is experimenting with make-up, a micellar water like Simple Micellar Cleansing Water, £2.50, is the quickest and easiest way to remove colored cosmetics.
So a pH-balanced, fragrance-free moisturizer like CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, £5, is a good part of their bedtime routine and can often help them relax as well as keep their skin hydrated.
If your child suffers from eczema or dry skin, CeraVe is a great brand, as is Aveeno. They’re gentle and nourishing, so they won’t dry out your skin or cause irritation, but use a moisturizer and cleanser to avoid overcomplicating things.
An SPF is great, especially during the summer, and Garnier Ambre Solaire Ultra-Light Sensitive Face Fluid SPF50+, £12, will work for the whole family as it’s non-greasy and looks good under makeup.
“My 10 and 12 year olds love skin care,” said another person.
“There are worse things in the world than taking care of your own skin.
“And you have those suitable for children.”
But not everyone agreed, with one arguing: “What a load of…
“My God, where is the world going?
“11 years! Speechless.”
“NO NO my 11 year old has Nivea,” another added.
“When I was 10 it was all about Polly Pocket and fake makeup,” said a third.
“Times have changed!”
“Why? I would never do that at this age,” someone asked.
With Emma responding: “It’s beneficial to know how to look after yourself.
“Especially when she’s getting spots, etc.”
