Abstract

The emergence of skincare trends among Generation Alpha has introduced children to beauty regimens at an unprecedentedly young age, largely influenced by social media and adult-targeted marketing. While fostering self-care awareness, this phenomenon raises critical concerns about the safety and appropriateness of such practices for developing skin and overall health. This study investigates the potential health implications of using adult-oriented skincare and cosmetic products, focusing on risks such as hormonal disruptions, allergic reactions, and long-term exposure to harmful ingredients like parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde. Additionally, the increasing popularity of nail art among children is examined, with attention to the dangers of UV exposure and chemical toxicity. The article advocates for child-friendly, natural alternatives and emphasizes the role of parents, educators, and industry stakeholders in promoting safer practices. By addressing these concerns and fostering sustainable habits, we can protect the health and well-being of future generations while encouraging age-appropriate self-care.
