Oh no, the teens have discovered anti-aging skin care
Photo: dragana991/Getty Images/iStockphoto It wasn’t that long ago that teens on Instagram were horrifying their elders by flattening their dewy skin with a half-inch thick layer of foundation, concealer, and contour. But just when we finally started getting used to the extremes of YouTube-inspired makeup, a new teen beauty trend has started budding. Brace yourself: A small cohort of under-20something influencers are now using anti-aging skin care.
Another beauty and lifestyle influencer, Doux Fairy, 18, moisturizes twice a day with Olay’s Regenerist, a retinol-based facial moisturizer which, until a few years ago, was found in the kits of women my mother’s age. Fairy, whose real name is Lily, brought retinol into her personal beauty orbit a year ago to start evening out her skin tone and to reduce smile lines. “I’ve seen a reduced definition of my fine lines, and my skin has been evening out nicely,” she says.
You have gotten to the true core of the beauty journey when six-syllable-long ingredient names escape your lips effortlessly, and when you bore unsuspecting friends by lecturing them about the difference between a skin-care acid and an ester.
Derms, at least, don’t seem to be too concerned. “I see a lot of it on Instagram and it’s more from people who really adore skin care,” says Papri Sarkar, a dermatologist based in Brookline, Massachusetts. “In general, teens don’t like to use stuff, they’re so lazy! Usually, they don’t have a really good regimen — on a Saturday night they’ll use 14 products and then forget to use anything for the next 10 days,” she says.
