A MUM has been brutally criticised for letting her tween daughter film skincare videos.
Growing up, most of us went through our mum’s make-up bag, whether that was to use her lippy or a bit of blush on our cheeks.
But one little girl, who’s not a teenager yet, already has her very own collection of posh and viral skincare, including the sought-after Sol de Janeiro spray and a face roller.
According to the mum, Amy Parvaneh, her tween daughter has even found her favourite beauty shop – Sephora – and prefers it to rival Ulta.
Her daughter appears to be so up-to-date with the latest trends and beauty finds that Amy said she often ”coaches” her mother of skincare she ”never knew existed”.
Despite experts branding the growing trend of kids using skincare ”dangerous”, as reported by the BBC, the little girl follows a strict nighttime regimen.
One such recent video took Instagram by storm, after Amy posted footage of the tween, thought to be between ten and 13, applying various products before going to sleep.
Armed with an array of Sephora goodies, the young brunette could be seen first using a pump cream, before going in with clarifying peel pads that ”purify and exfoliate”.
This was then followed by a posh £48 Skintix Barrier Gel Cream, Glow Recipe PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner (£10) as well as Niacinamide Dew Drops by the same brand, priced at an eye-watering £32.
To make sure the skincare products performed even better, the little girl also used a face roller massaging the goodies into her skin.
”Coaching me on a world of skin care I never knew existed,” Amy wrote in the caption of the clip.
But while the tween may be all chuffed with herself, the video soon sparked fury amongst social media users who slammed the mum.
One person shamed Amy for letting her daughter use skincare and advised her to encourage other activities.
”At this age children should be outside playing! Not making a video on “skin care” when they aren’t even fully developed. Do better.”
Someone else agreed, adding: ”Why does a child need to do skin care? She’s destroying her skin.”
Another warned Amy about the potential consequences, writing: ””A good cleanser and a moisturizer and sunscreen is enough trust me, as someone who did all of this when I was younger as soon as I hit puberty my skin went crazy.

For kids, skincare is simple, all it needs is a gentle cleanse where I’d recommend something like Byoma Creamy Jelly Cleanser, £9.99, and a soft flannel, muslin cloth or sponge is handy for that hard-to-budge dried ketchup.
If your child is experimenting with make-up, then a micellar water like Simple Micellar Cleansing Water, £2.50, is the quickest and easiest way to remove colour cosmetics.
Then a PH balanced, fragrance free moisturiser like CeraVe Moisturising Cream, £5, is a nice part of a bed-time routine and can often help them wind down as well as help keep their skin hydrated.
If your child suffers from eczema or dry skin, CeraVe is a great brand to use, as is Aveeno. They’re both gentle and nourishing, so won’t dry out skin or cause irritation, but stick to a moisturiser and cleanser to avoid overcomplicating things.
An SPF is great, especially during the summer, and Garnier Ambre Solaire Ultra-Light Sensitive Face Fluid SPF50+, £12, will work for the full family as it’s not greasy and sits well under make-up.
”You’ll have to hit restart to get things back to normal.”
Despite the criticism, there were also a few commentators who didn’t see an issue with the girl applying posh skincare.
A fan hit back at the haters, writing: ”Yall get so much hate it’s ridiculous.
”At least this 10 year old isn’t out wearing pounds of makeup and vaping. Yall need to get a life and stop hating on people bc you’re bored.”
”The cuteness is too much. I need to buy those!” another penned.
