Skincare trends and aesthetic procedures spark debate

A growing trend of early-age skincare and aesthetic procedures is raising concerns among dermatologists. Driven by social media, younger populations are increasingly adopting complex routines involving serums, acids, and even botulinum toxin before signs of aging appear.

Experts suggest that while skin health is important, prevention should focus on basic habits like sun protection and hydration rather than premature anti-wrinkle treatments. Overusing products can lead to skin irritation, especially when active ingredients are combined without professional guidance.

In the celebrity sphere, singer Simone Mendes recently faced social media criticism following a facial procedure. She clarified that she did not undergo rhinoplasty, but rather used lifting threads to adjust her nose tip. Singer Gretchen defended the move, arguing that personal satisfaction with aesthetic changes should outweigh public expectations to maintain a previous appearance.
