Many young girls are using skincare products every day. Some girls are only eight or ten years old. They watch videos on social media about beauty products.
Ellie-May is 13 years old. She started making skincare videos when she was eight. Now she has more than 330,000 followers on TikTok. Her family makes over £50,000 each year from her videos.
Doctors are worried about this. They say young children do not need these products. Some products can hurt children's skin. Dr. Jean Ayer is a skin doctor. She says children already have perfect skin. They do not need special creams.
