Makeup disturbs everything from skin irritation and allergy to the hormonal balance of girls. The increasing use of makeup on the entire face of girls from the age of seven-eight is having serious consequences on their physical development.

At an early age, the focus of these girls starts shifting from creative expression to physical appearance. Not only this, the skin of girls is more sensitive to the harmful chemicals present in cosmetics than that of adults, as a result of which conditions like hormonal upheaval and premature puberty are created in them. This upheaval brings emotional and psychological challenges, but the girl does not develop understanding and tolerance towards it, due to which she starts getting mentally disturbed.

Girls growing up quickly

It is said that one does not know when girls grow up, but today this saying has started coming true much earlier. Earlier, girls used to reach puberty at the age of 11 to 13 years, today this age has come down to eight years. One reason behind this is the exposure of girls to makeup. The long list of followers of girls promoting makeup as young influencers on internet media platforms like Instagram, Facebook etc. attracts even normal girls towards this.

This has an impact on their childish mind that if they also apply makeup etc. like this, then they will also become famous, otherwise they have no existence. This mental pressure starts increasing further when makeup products containing various chemicals like parabens, phthalates on their face become the cause of acne, rashes and other skin related problems. These also stimulate estrogen, progesterone and androgen hormones in the body, due to which early puberty is seen in them.

Teach beauty lessons in this way

Many times you yourself are keen to dress up your daughter. In such a situation, your behavior can confuse them. So it would be better if you explain to the girls that makeup is just an option, not a necessity and also tell them your clear expectations. If your daughter is showing interest in makeup, do not silence her by scolding her.

Encourage her curiosity by asking her what she finds exciting in makeup. Choose safe, age-appropriate products for your daughter. Just as you explain the right way of every work while expecting help in household chores, in the same way, give information about the right way for makeup and beauty. Also tell them the basics of skin care.
