I never thought I'd see 7 year olds so obsessed with money talking about "getting the bag," and 12 year olds worried about anti-aging, we've created a bunch of materialistic monsters.
But what's hilarious is that all of those products will actually leave them looking older by drying up their skin. I'd rather take a natural looking 30 year old than a 25 year old chick that NEEDS makeup to look good.
Anyone reading this thinking it's nonsense. During the Victorian era children who lived and died in factories and workhouses would develop rickets because they'd never go out in the sun
I wore sunscreen as a child and started experimenting with makeup at about 10-12. There's a difference between that and using retinol and other damaging skincare and 'anti ageing' products when you're a literal child.
@@Shadowbased_2006 Then the older generation blames their older generation for creating problems, and so on. Meanwhile, when Generation Z has descendants, their descendants will also blame the older generation (Generation Z). Humans do tend to look for a scapegoat to blame.
This obsession is actually making them age faster. So many twenty somethings now look like they're way into their 30s, because of starting botox and fillers, etc. too early.
Could that be why millennials ‘look younger’ than a lot of Gen Z’ers? There was a topic trending that millennials seem to look younger than Gen Z because they didn’t slather chemicals when they were young, didn’t smoke or vape, and kept their faces clean and moisturized well into their 20s and started make-up later in life. Idk. 🤷🏻♀️
To be fair: a model or topmodel spends a lot of time doing skin and haircare, sports and being on a (mostly not very balanced and healthy) diet to maintain their weight. Some of them undergo procedures, for example Linda Evangelista, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner (even if they deny it, it's very obvious they got something done, it's not just make up). Look at Linda Evangelista now. Cosmetic surgery, fillers, botox etc might look good at first but as the years go by.. They turn into a wonkey version of themselves.
The problem about plastic surgery, is that many people are fixing non-existent problems. It's literally just them fighting against their insecurities by feeding it. Unfortunately, it never gets sated.
I turned 33 today. Yes, I'm already "old". I can't think of much else to say...so I'll repeat what an older man told me. You can really only do two things with age...grow old, or die. Can't spend the rest of my life obsessing over something that I really can't stop.... *aging* . People can slow it down, but nobody can stop it. Happy Valentine's Day to Misha Petrov and anyone else who reads this. 💌💌💌
At that age I was using a damp wash cloth and maybe soap if my face was particularly dirty. My skin was way healthier than the girls who were using tons of product.
One thing that's funny is the trend about how Gen Z is aging faster than every generation. I don't don't use any of those self care products they do and people think I'm 5 years younger. They're aging themselves.
@@Danny_Deleto I know. I'm in my mid 30s and people have always thought I was a decade younger. It's nice now, but not so much when I was in my 20s getting questioned if I was old enough to sign a cell phone contact or something like that.
Def depends on your genetics (woman are typically more prone to acne for ex) and if you actually need other products, my skin has looked much better after getting into skin care but I had bad acne, acne scars and sun damage. Some people need/want certain products to help with different things but most products are unnecessary. I’ve been using a basic acne face wash and sunscreen everyday and my skin has never looked better. Some people probably cab get away with not washing their face but if you have any skin problems/ conditions it’s definitely a little more to it than just using a damp wash cloth every now and then.
This is so true. I used to obsessed with skincare and after I stopped and used basic cleanser and lotion my skin has never been better. Tbh, I think cosmetic companies have a conspiracy to have skincare products make one look worse overtime so they need to buy more🤨
I really respect that you don’t wear makeup or minimal makeup in your videos. Us women need to normalize this more. Wearing makeup to a job interview, date night, or special occasion is one thing, but a full face every day is not it.
It really higlights how healthy Misha must be. She's got such a fair complexion and a beautiful colour in her cheeks. Unless her health takes a turn to the worst, she's bound to retain her physical beauty well into old age. Really though, a living a simple healthy life style goes a long way to retaining natural beauty, not these bizarre extremes that come at great risk. And it's all external. Beautifying the outside does not make you a beautiful person, no more than decorating a paper bag makes it valuable. If people paid such attention to who they really were opposed to what they looked like, the whole world would be a much more beautiful place.
I’ve given up makeup completely. I hate the way it feels, I’m honestly more self conscious when I wear it (because now I have to worry about if I put too much on or if It’s done bad or if I’m sweating it off.) I don’t even like wearing it when I meet people because it feels dishonest to wear it once and then never again. I might not look like a 5 or a 7, but I don’t really care. I’m too busy to add another thing to stress about.
To feel like you need to do it everyday is the issue but I see a lot of people doing it for fun or to pull together an outfit if they’re into that. so long as it’s not an unhealthy obsession where you won’t even go out without it I feel like it’s really a non issue.
@@tinfoilhomer909it's one of my hobbies. Except I'm the person that does my makeup and never leaves the house. It's just for fun to see what I can create.
As an esthetician when I see and hear a 10 year old using a peel or retinol I just cringe because they have no idea how much they are damaging their skin all the way down to their dermal layer which in the future when they do get older wrinkles will be the least of their problems. 😢
Can’t believe that 14 year old girl said she uses retinol 2 times a day ?? I’m 26 and don’t even use it everyday because it’s so strong and irritating. It’s insane that her parents allow her to do this at that age . At 14 you should only be using a face wash and moisturizer or sunscreen.
Beauty obsession is not a real problem unless it’s aimed at children. Social Media plays a big role. Underaged children should not be on TikTok, Instagram, should not be ‘influencers’. Parents have a big responsibility in this. Kids have no place on social media.
They're using those in government schools and computers and a lot of teachers are too weak or not empowered to stop them, so even if they aren't allowed at home, the US government supplies Chinese tiktok to them
My eleven year old sister started using eye liner and I’m not a fan, but we just played Sonic Adventure 2 and I’m pretty sure she’s just being edgy and likes Shadow the Hedgehog
I used to experiment a lot with make up when I was younger. I was an arty kid and my face was just a new canvas, and i could put glitter on it. I dont even wear make up most of the time these days.
I miss the days of breaking into my grandma's baby powder stash and stealing her garden flowers to make potions in dixie cups. Now kids are doing full make-up and skin care routine by the age of 7.
Thank you for bringing up "body count." I always found the phrase to be so stupid and dehumanizing. Glad to see there are other people my age who feel the same way.
I think it's meant to be a shaming tactic. Men won't invest in a woman who has been around the block too many times. We can complain about the double standard or whatever, but we can't fight evolution.
It’s so refreshing to see naturally beautiful people. I don’t mean models or whatever.. just women and men who take care of themselves and show up for themselves. Not all this surgery or injections.. just a fit, healthy human.
I really think that being obsessed with beauty isn’t a Gen Z thing, that’s how humanity’s always been. It’s just that we’re able to see it more with the rise of social media and since now there’s a lot more products and services available for that purpose. We’ve always liked pretty and being pretty. It’s never going to change.
if you think history is 100y. Men started using cosmetics in the last few decades, people didn't know beauty standards before photography... ofc. we always wanted to be attractive the difference is what we thought was attractive. now you can't feel attractive without hours of work done every day and lots of money. but today it's not even in the whole world just in some cultures .. so sorry but no, it's not because we see it more, we see it more because people obsess
@@Anarchiusz and Im telling you, that people all over the world, and in different cultures and time periods were also obsessed with it to unhealthy levels. One example I can give you is how in China, during the 1800’s, one of the beauty standards was having small feet because they thought it made them look more graceful and delicate. And so, a lot of girls were destroying their feet by binding them in order for them to look smaller to fit the beauty standards better. Its not a gen Z thing. I’m not just talking about liking beauty, it is about being obsessed with it.
@@nikkiralaniakea9527 girl. you talking about Aristocracy, the 1% of the population and saying all people were like that. i love how 20c people look at some historical facts and think all people were living like that. no they weren't, peasant and citizens weren't even kowing how people 100 miles away looked like.
Man... when I was growing up.. The 10 to 16 year olds I knew at that time were just into games, sports or interested in a relationship. I only noticed girls getting into makeup around late teens or early 20s.. more in college or university. But then again.. we didn't have tik tok or mobile phones during those times as well. People just experienced life exploring or going to new places or doing new things in life.
Same. I grew up when facebook was in its infancy. It was a more innocent and wholesome time, it didn't even cross my mind I "need" to do antiaging anything
There's also a medicalization of the human body where we have started to accept chemicals and surgeries/procedures as a norm rather than a last resort......
They just read as entitled, and snotty, quite frankly. In my opinion, a ten year old doesn't *need* an iphone and shouldn't have unlimited access to an ipad. My sons didn't have cellphones until they started driving and going to work. Something to think about for those who have littles. It was really hard (even peer pressure for adults sucks!) but I'm really glad we did it.
Unfortunately some parents today are very condescending with their kids and doesn't bother too much with educating them. Sometimes I feel sorry for those kids cause when I see how their parents behave I understand why the kids are brats and it's not their fault most of the time.
Okay yes... the looksmaxing thing freaks me out tf. I'm 30 and have a very youthful face but am developing some fine lines around my under eye ...but I AM THIRTY. Ofc I'm going to have those. Jesus. I'm not ugly because of that like wow. I'm seriously scared of society's obsession with youth. The obsession with youth also reminded me of this one post I saw the other day - it said "as a female I was catcalled so much more at 16 than at 25" and that speaks volumes. It's literally pedo zoo out there i swear, and it's not a coincidence. We are basically in an online echo chamber that worships youth. But wisdom and beauty come with age. I actually find younger people so unattractive. Like, looking your age is hot. This needs to stop jesus. side note though: the Stanley cups are ugly af LOL
I'm in the same boat. People think I'm several years younger. Do they think everyone turns into the crypt keeper in their 30's??? 30's isn't even middle age, so why has society determined that as the tipping point for being "old?" The mind baffles.
@@Ah__ah__ah__ah. 16 year olds are children. The brain isn't fully developed until age 25, which for some reason our legal system ignores. Even calling an 18 year old an adult is a joke. Trust me, the older you get (and thus the more your brain develops...hopefully), the more you'll understand. But we need to stop implying people under 25 are adults. Scientifically they are not.
Same. A year or 2 ago I just took a minute to think and realised that I get no joy out of putting on makeup because I'm not particularly good at it no matter how much I practice and I hate taking it off at the end of the day. Also thinking about all the toxic stuff that's in makeup and the fact that men aren't forced to wear makeup and are accepted in their natural form helped me come to terms with just not wearing makeup. It's freeing and honestly I think it's why I look younger than I am.
THIS!!! ALL OF THIS!!! i never ever liked makeup so i never bought into it and ive been trying to ask women why they feel like they look "naked" when their face isnt covered with goop and men dont feel like that and are totally accepted??? Why?? Who convinced these women for generations that theyre ugly in their natural forms??? It boggles my mind how much the makeup companies make from these poor delusional women. Everyone looks better with a clean face! It may take time to get used to not being made up with false lashes but why are ppl wearing fake lashes??? And daily??? I cant. Sorry for ranting but i approve your message. I get told i look way younger but i think its bec my face is clean honestly
Same here! I must admit being too lazy to put all this bad stuff on my skin and rub it all away in the evening. For… what??? People won‘t like me „more“ cause of my face being covered with makeup!!!
@@erchanelI guess it's because women are/were towards shopping the most. So creating some sorts of insecurity among them paive a way for tapping money from them.
The thing about the UV Ray avoiding the sun thing is we NEED sunlight. Not just for regulating our sleep wake cycles but also for the Vitamin D production. Being deficient in Vitamin D negatively affects your mental and physical health and we have people petrified of aging from sun, not even of skin cancer. Wild.
You need just few minutes of sunlight for proper vitamin D production. Using suncreams is actually good. Especially compared to how millenials were obsessed with tanning.
@@MrJefferson07Just use sunblock. I did that throughout my 20’s and 30’s. Now I’m 42 years old and I don’t have not even one wrinkle on my face. I’ve never used botox or plastic surgeries. Just some chemical peelings now and then with a doctor.
I’m 18 and I just started a skincare routine two weeks ago. My routine is cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen (super simple). I wasn’t even aware of any of that stuff at 10 and 12. It’s absolutely insane to me that CHILDREN are using retinol.
I used retinol once at 19 (im 22 now) and I got a chemical burn from it, my skin was peeling off and was irritated (especially around my nostrils and right cheek) and it gave me fine lines under my right eye that I didn't have before (and that my left eye didn't and still doesn't have). Since then I also went back to the basics of cleanser, toner, squalene (hydrating serum I use when my skin is extra dry, it's natural and comes from plants), moisturizer and SPF. I've decided not to use reitnol or anything until i'm 25 or 27. I understand it can be used to treat acne but a lot of the retinol out there is really strong and I don't children should be using it unless prescribed by doctors for acne or something. It can cause a lot of damage if it's started too young or not used correctly because someone isn't educated enough on it (at least in my personal experience).
@@am-n5myes! My younger sister used a product with retinol in it and she’s 14 and it burnt her skin off her face, we took her to the doctor and the dermatologist and they said she had some sort of chemical burn, she refused to admit it but we found it in her stuff, there seriously should be supervision in these stores or consent forms signed in store to stop kids from getting their hands on these products.
"aging is a privilege" ain't that the truth. You don't realize it when you're young, but as you start to get older and people you grew up with start leaving this world, you realize it's the truth.
i see a lot of tiktoks about how to get rid of smile lines as if its flaw!!! luckily makes me laugh my ass off but for a lot of people now believe this feature is a flaw!!! SMILING IS GOOD, PEOPLE!!!!! ive had smile lines my whole life!! i love laughing and smiling. THAT is beauty. beauty is ageing and living life in a happy direction. never listen to those people on tiktok tell you otherwise!!!! theyre insecure and wanna take other down that path too bc they truly believe what they think and are doing is normal and correct OR theyre just trying to make money off you!!! truly awful stuff.
Am I the only one who wants to be a old wrinkly lady living on a strawberry farm and wear floral dresses and spending my time on my farm because I retired 10 years ago? Am I the only one who wants to spend time with my lover picking strawberry and not worrying about aging or death??
I’m having a baby girl in November, I’m keeping her off social media. No ipad. It’s called toys and imagination ✨ and trying to encourage my daughter to be a kid and enjoy childhood
You're incredible. Please continue to speak truth in a world that seems afraid of the concept of honesty and authenticity. Your words deeply inspired and resonated with me ❤
As someone from gen X it’s super scary how people massively overestimate looks and not aging. The true happiness comes with being confident in yourself, having good friends , being established in your career and that usually comes in your 30s and 40s .. I genuinely feel sorry for the kids who grew up constantly being on instagram which feeds their insecurities.. growing up in 80s and 90s nobody really cared about looks , we were all flawed but this was something totally acceptable. It’s almost like being a human is not ok these days . Scary
I work at a Private School in a boarding house in Australia. Omg these girls between 11 and 15 all have Stanleys, Yeti cups the latest iPhones, all the fanciest skincare and makeup plus Dyson airwraps. They literally bullied me (a worker) because I don't have these things. They all already want boob jobs and facial fillers etc. At that age, I was making cringy videos with my friends of doing cartwheels and just being a kid its so scary.
Retinol is super harsh and kids should not be using it! I fully blame the parents for giving them the money to even buy it because it’s not cheap. I mean, these kids will get hundreds of dollars and just buy whatever they want there. When I was 10 I was at Claire’s buying clip on earrings. My favorites were these frog ones.
I wish I could wear makeup. But I got extra sensitive skin and eczema, so using the products just makes me itch. It's not the allergic itch, just like slight itching that's just infuriating. I currently got a splotch of eczema right under my left eye and I really can't do anything until it goes away. I';m 31 now and I never learned proper makeup because of those two issues. Basically, girls, it could be much worse. Wrinkles aren't bad.
I always hated the feel of makeup on my skin, so i never wear it, i used to just do mascara, but when i turned 30 i stopped that too. I definitely got lots of laugh lines😊
I love that we in the middle east , busy with war, finding food, no electricity, no gas, no shit, this way, we don't have this type of "problems" we have real life issues and suffering. I used to be a doctor in training, i had to do 15 shifts a month with working online just to get by and support my family. How is this possible for such young kids to have such privilege to do whatever they want and get away with it?
Much of this boils down to parents who won't tell their kid 'no'. Most of the little kids accounts, are run by their mothers, who are living vicariously through their kids. It's not the child who is paying for all these astronomically priced skin care products, it's the parent. How is the child getting to Sephora or Ulta to make these purchases? Again, it's the parent. For all these older people, so scared of getting older, that they have all these potentially dangerous things done to their bodies... I'm not fully sure what is the biggest impetus behind this. I would blame the overconsumption of social media, that supposedly is a huge factor in setting the "beauty standards" of the current time. Guaranteed, if we experience even a little bit of what countries who are being torn apart, are experiencing, I expect that having the latest Drunk Elephant products or the latest surgical procedure, will be the least of their worries.
This breaks my heart a lot. The fact that there is young people so insecure about themselves that they they are changing themselves because they think it’s popular. Why can’t people just beat themselves? Why do they have to be like someone else? Like the whole gender we have this. Don’t be like these people love yourself and look after your body you’re already have. You’re beautiful.
I think one of the most insane thing about all this is that some of these trends (freckles, buccal fat removal, eye color change, etc.) are things that can be achieved through makeup or color lenses… why would you permanently alter your body and/or risk your life for a trend that'll probably be over within a couple of months? 😭
I’m just glad I don’t let peer pressure make me want to change my body and the way I look. People are so easily influenced. That’s why I isolate myself from ppl
Kinda. The windshield blocks most UV rays. The side windows (tempered glass) could let through more UVA rays. That's not going to sunburn you, but could lead to skin aging and higher risk of cancer.
Something that has been motivating me for awhile is that however much I hate my body or face, however I may hate myself, there are people who would pay millions of dollars to have the body and face that I have! I am so lucky to be me! Everyone is beautiful in their own way!!
It’s scary what’s happening to society, especially when people get too caught up in unrealistic social media appearance rather than just living a natural beautiful life
@@notasaint6770 comestic/plastic surgery for injuries etc where it can drastically improve both physical and mental health is imo fine, you’re not doing it to fit in to social standards made up by unrealistic social media rules, but to improve your injury. Otherwise, don’t go overboard, hard to go back to natural when you’ve got too much plastic injected.
I love your video and your personality! I honestly feel like when people get plastic surgery, they generally look worse than before (i don't mean it in a mean way). I think people should get off their damn phones and actually interaction more face-to-face. I have plenty of insecurities and low self-esteem, depression, etc. but that's something that I have therapy for. If people can afford it, there is no reason they shouldn't be seeing a therapist. Thanks for the video!
The problem seems to me like one of degree. I was born in the early 90s and in my childhood and teenage years I definitely recount bullying when certain products were not the "right brands" or people didn't do makeup yet (at age 11). So might seem more extreme now but none of this are new problems. Another point to keep in mind: more of the crazy parts are now visible that weren't visible, because there was no social media like now.
If these young ladies volunteered it would take the focus off themselves and what they look like all the time. They could find joy while making a difference and they could see that looking like a model all time is not going to bring you true happiness.
That's the thing, they've been indoctrinated in years of feminism that teaches them that whatever their base desire this second is the most important thing in the world
seeing people do dumb stuff like that and hate themselves so much actually makes me value my appearance more. like yes i have dark circles under my eyes and laugh lines and acne, and my eyes aren't blue and my lips are thin, but I don't spend every waking hour picking things out to hate about myself and trying to fix them. I'm so much more alive and happy than the people who think they have to be perfect and polished all the time. there's more life in the crow's feet of a middle-aged woman who squints when she smiles than there ever will be in the pulled-back faces of those plastic surgery patients.
Putting (too much) value on other people’s opinions is not healthy (especially on the internet!!!). But I am a grown woman (33) growing up very sheltered from ""modern/social media” and I still have to tell myself on a regular basis that today’s the beauty standards are unattainable. I do not think someone growing up with this stands a chance. A ten-year-old being afraid of wrinkles is absurd. But unfortunately, a sad social media reality. Its the environment that’s toxic, not the individuals. The kids today do not stand a chance
Nothing is absurd here, that's all US is abt. Effect of obsessive capitalism. Everything is seen from the perspective of buy-sell & consume. The more slick is the product the better it is either human or object; so u got to participate in the noble competition.☝️
I remember I started suffering from acne when I was a tween and my mom was struggling so hard to make me maintain a skin care routine that will help with inflammation. I would forget to wash my face or put the creams, because it seemed like a chore. Honestly even now as a 35 year old if I could afford skipping skin care I would, there's more fun and important things out there. I can't believe these kids..
As an elder millienal / gen-x, it wasn't uncommon to see girls getting into makeup around the 8, 9, 10 range. Most were playing around with kids makeup even earlier than that. But few were really going out of the house with more than some lipsmakers. I was wearing makeup at 13 though, like foundation, powder, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, etc. But this was all drugstore brands. There were other girls doing this too (because I wouldn't have been doing it otherwise). And it did become an everyday thing for me to wear makeup all the way through my teen years. It wasn't until my early 20's that I was kinda like "eh, don't need makeup every day". I wasn't even buying high-end makeup until my late 20's. I still enjoy makeup as a form of self-expression, but it's not being worn everyday by me. Hell, I think I should be wearing it more because my products expire faster than I can use them up. Kids are honestly being kids in this situation. They learn from whatever they are exposed to. So if a parent is letting their kid spend that much time on social media (that adults are using) they are going to pick up behavior and habits from the people they are watching, not realizing how heavilly everything is curated and perfected online. Honestly, I'm not sure if I can fully blame parents in my age range either, because the cost of living is so damn high, and wages have never kept up. There's a saying that "it takes a village to raise a child", but that stopped being a thing in the US during the 50's. Today, parents may have to work long hours, work multiple jobs, or take on side-hustles just to make ends meet. It's no wonder that parents put kids infront of an ipad. So the internet becomes the village. :/
what's funny is in the 70s-80s young girls were actually TRYING to get as much sun as possible. They'd literally rub oil (not sunscreen) on their skin to get darker lol
I'm just happy to still look good at 38. I'm bald but I look healthy. They aren't thinking about actual health. I've got wrinkles, but they look good on me. They're totally missing the point. There are plenty of gorgeous women in their 40s-60s that turn my head.
I am 17 years old Asian girl and I just started using Face wash , don't mention skincare and makeup . I don't even know anything about beauty products. 10 years old knows what I don't amazes me.
the way they dont realise that the skincare they use will backfire on them completely when theyre older. A lot of skincare products arent meant to be used on skin so young and if they keep in using skincare that they dont even need is like watering a fake plant Their skin also makes its own moisture and oils that they NEED but if theyre slapping on useless skincare products their skin being reliant on those things and theyll end up ruining their skin 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
My 12 year old daughter is obsessed with this stuff. She is so worried about skincare and all the different types of makeup. Worried about her makeup before playing hockey. I dont care too much if its just about playing around or trying fun ways to put on makeup. I care if its becoming her identity.
I am 18. I started to have wrinkles on my forehead and grey hair appeared when I was 15. I started dying my hair, I was obsessed with skincare, makeup, and everything anti-ageing. I didn't allow myself to live happily at one point.. so I just shaved my dyed hair at the end of 2023 and now I want my natural hair with grey to grow back. 2024 is the year I accepted myself and am going to continue to. I truly feel so sorry for these young girls who look so beautiful, because I see myself in them. 🥺
I have gray hair too but I also have poofy hair so I can't even find mine. I hope you cherish your gray hair because it shows the struggle you've pushed past
I wore makeup once in my life, broke out in a horrible rash the morning after washing it off after prom. My former classmates look a lot older than they say I do, at least in the face. I’m glad I stick to just chapstick.
Admittedly, the whole anti-aging thing on TikTok began with younger millennials and then extended onto Gen Z. When she talked about the anti wrinkling straw, the second video is by a 30 something year old woman who promotes “training” your face muscles to not smile with your eyes to prevent wrinkles.
I'm not going to lie, the healthiest and best my skin ever looked was 10 years ago when I was riding my bike every day in the Texas summer. I didn't wear any makeup, I used a random face wash and used body lotion on my face. My skin was so nice and the color was even so I didn't even need makeup. Just one year later when I stopped going outside everyday my skin started looking sallow and sickly. Which made me need to start wearing make up again to fix the color of my skin.
Again, this is a well-edited and contributive video, Misha If only all people undergoing physical appearance changes would rather spend their time on becoming a better person: getting an education, learning a new skill, curbing laziness, improving their personality and character, get self-confident and cure their mental psychosis. It would be more useful for them, and for society.
Being a slave to the current fashion trend is a fool’s errand. I remember when I was a young teen, I was bullied for years about wearing shorts above knees. I eventually made the switch to past-knee-length shorts, and within a year above-knee-length shorts were in. From then on, I wore what I wanted. Detractors can pound sand.
It’s times like these that make me glad I’m a dude just shower than done no makeup routine that’s more complicated than my algebra homework used to be 😂
I can’t blame the ones dealing with aging. Age discrimination is a thing. In a society obsessed with looks and youth if you look old people will disregard you and what you have to offer.
im gen z and i really dont like the obsession with changing our looks in my generation. I think natural beauty is everything and beautiful and we should love what were born with its just so sad to see people around my age do this to themselves i think we should appreciate what god gave us.
Because it's not a gen z thing, almost everyone from every generation is obsessed with beauty, it's just that in this generation we can truly see this trait online being exposed in social media. Putting the "gen z" or any current generation is often used to raise the view of this kind of yt vid viewers.
I am glad to see that I see different youtubers with different opinions regarding many things, coming together to agree that obsession with youth is scary and ominous
I would go one step further and say it’s ok to be unattractive. Some of us just are. I get a lot of pressure to try and be beautiful or whatever by wearing make up or spending money on a wardrobe of clothes that are trendy. I’m just not interested. I hate wearing make up. I’m ok with just a t shirt and comfy pants or shorts. I prefer the elastic waists, so what?
I never thought I'd see 7 year olds so obsessed with money talking about "getting the bag," and 12 year olds worried about anti-aging, we've created a bunch of materialistic monsters.
Honestly tho it terrifies me
Tiktok is gonna destroy the world.
@@neko7606and with barely to no quality time spend with their family.
But what's hilarious is that all of those products will actually leave them looking older by drying up their skin. I'd rather take a natural looking 30 year old than a 25 year old chick that NEEDS makeup to look good.
I'm a teacher. My 10-12 year old students are some of the most entitled and materialistic children I have ever encountered.
Avoiding sunlight as a child is total insanity -- vitamin D is essential for a healthy immune system! Kids need more sunlight, not less.
Amen.
Exactly. Just slap on some sunscreen and go, it’s so sad that some dermatologists online act like the sun is the plague.
Sun protection also important for children. I mean it also depends where they live but to generalise ask kids need more sun is ridiculous.
Of youre non melanated and dont use sunscreen it will dame your skjn
Anyone reading this thinking it's nonsense.
During the Victorian era children who lived and died in factories and workhouses would develop rickets because they'd never go out in the sun
10 year old girls using make up to look like 20 year old women is disturbing
It’s horrifying.
I wonder if they're gonna look 40 when they're 20 because of all the products they cake their face with from an early age.
100%
@@olebrumme6356They’re gonna look better than the rest of us who didn’t wear sunscreen until adulthood, let’s be honest.
I wore sunscreen as a child and started experimenting with makeup at about 10-12. There's a difference between that and using retinol and other damaging skincare and 'anti ageing' products when you're a literal child.

Gen z creates no problems it's older generations
@@Shadowbased_2006 Then the older generation blames their older generation for creating problems, and so on. Meanwhile, when Generation Z has descendants, their descendants will also blame the older generation (Generation Z). Humans do tend to look for a scapegoat to blame.

This obsession is actually making them age faster. So many twenty somethings now look like they're way into their 30s, because of starting botox and fillers, etc. too early.
And, ironically, those twentysomethings that look like they're in their thirties behave like toddlers.
It feels like a black mirror episode
Everyone’s obsessed with looking 20. You’re either trying to age up or down.
Just to try look like 3% of your life span.
The heavy makeup makes girls look like women, and young women look far older than they actually are.
It's really sad.
Could that be why millennials ‘look younger’ than a lot of Gen Z’ers? There was a topic trending that millennials seem to look younger than Gen Z because they didn’t slather chemicals when they were young, didn’t smoke or vape, and kept their faces clean and moisturized well into their 20s and started make-up later in life. Idk. 🤷🏻♀️
the 90s and 2000s model beauty obsession was healthier than whatever going on now with teens
Fr and they were all on coke 💀💀
go watch Pamela Anderson 7lb (each) pair and lets talk then (born in 93 before u say im too young for this convo xD)
To be fair: a model or topmodel spends a lot of time doing skin and haircare, sports and being on a (mostly not very balanced and healthy) diet to maintain their weight. Some of them undergo procedures, for example Linda Evangelista, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner (even if they deny it, it's very obvious they got something done, it's not just make up). Look at Linda Evangelista now. Cosmetic surgery, fillers, botox etc might look good at first but as the years go by.. They turn into a wonkey version of themselves.
When will all these crazy beauty fads end and people go back to just having balanced diets and regular, but not extreme, daily exercise
I just wanted to be skinny and tan as a teenager in the 2000s. It’s way worse today for teenagers.

Good, keeping a sane mind is good for development ❤️
The problem about plastic surgery, is that many people are fixing non-existent problems.
It's literally just them fighting against their insecurities by feeding it. Unfortunately, it never gets sated.
I turned 33 today. Yes, I'm already "old".
I can't think of much else to say...so I'll repeat what an older man told me.
You can really only do two things with age...grow old, or die.
Can't spend the rest of my life obsessing over something that I really can't stop.... *aging* .

The guy who gave me the advice is 47 years old.
At that age I was using a damp wash cloth and maybe soap if my face was particularly dirty. My skin was way healthier than the girls who were using tons of product.
One thing that's funny is the trend about how Gen Z is aging faster than every generation. I don't don't use any of those self care products they do and people think I'm 5 years younger. They're aging themselves.
@@Danny_Deleto I know. I'm in my mid 30s and people have always thought I was a decade younger. It's nice now, but not so much when I was in my 20s getting questioned if I was old enough to sign a cell phone contact or something like that.
Def depends on your genetics (woman are typically more prone to acne for ex) and if you actually need other products, my skin has looked much better after getting into skin care but I had bad acne, acne scars and sun damage. Some people need/want certain products to help with different things but most products are unnecessary. I’ve been using a basic acne face wash and sunscreen everyday and my skin has never looked better. Some people probably cab get away with not washing their face but if you have any skin problems/ conditions it’s definitely a little more to it than just using a damp wash cloth every now and then.
I’m a 32 year old man and I relate to this a lot lol
This is so true. I used to obsessed with skincare and after I stopped and used basic cleanser and lotion my skin has never been better. Tbh, I think cosmetic companies have a conspiracy to have skincare products make one look worse overtime so they need to buy more🤨

I was so confused I literally thought about the actual trophy omg
Ikr?! Rather my kid watch Hockey instead of Skibidi Toilet any day
I really respect that you don’t wear makeup or minimal makeup in your videos. Us women need to normalize this more. Wearing makeup to a job interview, date night, or special occasion is one thing, but a full face every day is not it.
It really higlights how healthy Misha must be. She's got such a fair complexion and a beautiful colour in her cheeks. Unless her health takes a turn to the worst, she's bound to retain her physical beauty well into old age.
Really though, a living a simple healthy life style goes a long way to retaining natural beauty, not these bizarre extremes that come at great risk. And it's all external. Beautifying the outside does not make you a beautiful person, no more than decorating a paper bag makes it valuable. If people paid such attention to who they really were opposed to what they looked like, the whole world would be a much more beautiful place.
I’ve given up makeup completely. I hate the way it feels, I’m honestly more self conscious when I wear it (because now I have to worry about if I put too much on or if It’s done bad or if I’m sweating it off.) I don’t even like wearing it when I meet people because it feels dishonest to wear it once and then never again. I might not look like a 5 or a 7, but I don’t really care. I’m too busy to add another thing to stress about.
I love nature and the outdoors. In my eyes, make-up is fish poison and entertainment for children. It doesn't serve a mature adult purpose.
To feel like you need to do it everyday is the issue but I see a lot of people doing it for fun or to pull together an outfit if they’re into that. so long as it’s not an unhealthy obsession where you won’t even go out without it I feel like it’s really a non issue.
@@tinfoilhomer909it's one of my hobbies. Except I'm the person that does my makeup and never leaves the house. It's just for fun to see what I can create.
As an esthetician when I see and hear a 10 year old using a peel or retinol I just cringe because they have no idea how much they are damaging their skin all the way down to their dermal layer which in the future when they do get older wrinkles will be the least of their problems. 😢

Can’t believe that 14 year old girl said she uses retinol 2 times a day ?? I’m 26 and don’t even use it everyday because it’s so strong and irritating. It’s insane that her parents allow her to do this at that age . At 14 you should only be using a face wash and moisturizer or sunscreen.
Beauty obsession is not a real problem unless it’s aimed at children. Social Media plays a big role. Underaged children should not be on TikTok, Instagram, should not be ‘influencers’. Parents have a big responsibility in this. Kids have no place on social media.
Beauty obsession is a problem at any age.
@@ruthhorowitz7625 facts
They're using those in government schools and computers and a lot of teachers are too weak or not empowered to stop them, so even if they aren't allowed at home, the US government supplies Chinese tiktok to them

My eleven year old sister started using eye liner and I’m not a fan, but we just played Sonic Adventure 2 and I’m pretty sure she’s just being edgy and likes Shadow the Hedgehog

As long as she doesn't overdo the makeup it's fine. Also you're an awesome sibling, playing SA2 with your sister!
I used to experiment a lot with make up when I was younger. I was an arty kid and my face was just a new canvas, and i could put glitter on it. I dont even wear make up most of the time these days.
I miss the days of breaking into my grandma's baby powder stash and stealing her garden flowers to make potions in dixie cups.
Now kids are doing full make-up and skin care routine by the age of 7.
Yea :(
In the wise words of judge Judy, beauty fades dumb is forever
Thank you for bringing up "body count." I always found the phrase to be so stupid and dehumanizing. Glad to see there are other people my age who feel the same way.
I think it's meant to be a shaming tactic. Men won't invest in a woman who has been around the block too many times. We can complain about the double standard or whatever, but we can't fight evolution.
I don't think men or women should be sleeping around. Its bad for society.
I thought it was only associated with murder back then, not seggs.
I dont think women should date dudes that will shag anything with a heartbeat. Fuck the double standard @@RealDevastatia
Sydney Watson slammed that term too.
It’s so refreshing to see naturally beautiful people. I don’t mean models or whatever.. just women and men who take care of themselves and show up for themselves. Not all this surgery or injections.. just a fit, healthy human.
In my opinion real beauty comes from the inside!
I really think that being obsessed with beauty isn’t a Gen Z thing, that’s how humanity’s always been. It’s just that we’re able to see it more with the rise of social media and since now there’s a lot more products and services available for that purpose. We’ve always liked pretty and being pretty. It’s never going to change.
fr like no one cares to bring up history of this but present day and wants to act like it’s new like no lol bless some hearts
It's not about liking beauty. It's about being obsessed with it in a very unhealthy manner, which is actually very ugly.
if you think history is 100y. Men started using cosmetics in the last few decades, people didn't know beauty standards before photography... ofc. we always wanted to be attractive the difference is what we thought was attractive. now you can't feel attractive without hours of work done every day and lots of money. but today it's not even in the whole world just in some cultures .. so sorry but no, it's not because we see it more, we see it more because people obsess
@@Anarchiusz and Im telling you, that people all over the world, and in different cultures and time periods were also obsessed with it to unhealthy levels. One example I can give you is how in China, during the 1800’s, one of the beauty standards was having small feet because they thought it made them look more graceful and delicate. And so, a lot of girls were destroying their feet by binding them in order for them to look smaller to fit the beauty standards better. Its not a gen Z thing. I’m not just talking about liking beauty, it is about being obsessed with it.
@@nikkiralaniakea9527 girl. you talking about Aristocracy, the 1% of the population and saying all people were like that. i love how 20c people look at some historical facts and think all people were living like that. no they weren't, peasant and citizens weren't even kowing how people 100 miles away looked like.
More people NEED too see this! You hit every nail right in the head!
Man... when I was growing up.. The 10 to 16 year olds I knew at that time were just into games, sports or interested in a relationship. I only noticed girls getting into makeup around late teens or early 20s.. more in college or university. But then again.. we didn't have tik tok or mobile phones during those times as well. People just experienced life exploring or going to new places or doing new things in life.
Same. I grew up when facebook was in its infancy. It was a more innocent and wholesome time, it didn't even cross my mind I "need" to do antiaging anything
For real. This generation is so superficial
Cant really blame them

It's not their fault, it's the society (social media) and parents. Hopefully when they grow up they choose to change
@@lifeisaREDTIDEyes it’s really sad
Thank you for getting the message out!🙂 im about togo 🤮 over here
We care always about beauty but social media and technology have making it worse, worse and not in a healthy way.
There's also a medicalization of the human body where we have started to accept chemicals and surgeries/procedures as a norm rather than a last resort......
They just read as entitled, and snotty, quite frankly. In my opinion, a ten year old doesn't *need* an iphone and shouldn't have unlimited access to an ipad. My sons didn't have cellphones until they started driving and going to work. Something to think about for those who have littles. It was really hard (even peer pressure for adults sucks!) but I'm really glad we did it.
Unfortunately some parents today are very condescending with their kids and doesn't bother too much with educating them. Sometimes I feel sorry for those kids cause when I see how their parents behave I understand why the kids are brats and it's not their fault most of the time.
Okay yes... the looksmaxing thing freaks me out tf. I'm 30 and have a very youthful face but am developing some fine lines around my under eye ...but I AM THIRTY. Ofc I'm going to have those. Jesus. I'm not ugly because of that like wow. I'm seriously scared of society's obsession with youth.
The obsession with youth also reminded me of this one post I saw the other day - it said "as a female I was catcalled so much more at 16 than at 25" and that speaks volumes. It's literally pedo zoo out there i swear, and it's not a coincidence. We are basically in an online echo chamber that worships youth. But wisdom and beauty come with age. I actually find younger people so unattractive. Like, looking your age is hot. This needs to stop jesus.
side note though: the Stanley cups are ugly af LOL
I'm in the same boat. People think I'm several years younger. Do they think everyone turns into the crypt keeper in their 30's??? 30's isn't even middle age, so why has society determined that as the tipping point for being "old?" The mind baffles.

Same. A year or 2 ago I just took a minute to think and realised that I get no joy out of putting on makeup because I'm not particularly good at it no matter how much I practice and I hate taking it off at the end of the day. Also thinking about all the toxic stuff that's in makeup and the fact that men aren't forced to wear makeup and are accepted in their natural form helped me come to terms with just not wearing makeup. It's freeing and honestly I think it's why I look younger than I am.
THIS!!! ALL OF THIS!!! i never ever liked makeup so i never bought into it and ive been trying to ask women why they feel like they look "naked" when their face isnt covered with goop and men dont feel like that and are totally accepted??? Why?? Who convinced these women for generations that theyre ugly in their natural forms??? It boggles my mind how much the makeup companies make from these poor delusional women. Everyone looks better with a clean face! It may take time to get used to not being made up with false lashes but why are ppl wearing fake lashes??? And daily??? I cant. Sorry for ranting but i approve your message.

The thing about the UV Ray avoiding the sun thing is we NEED sunlight. Not just for regulating our sleep wake cycles but also for the Vitamin D production. Being deficient in Vitamin D negatively affects your mental and physical health and we have people petrified of aging from sun, not even of skin cancer. Wild.
I'm dodging sun, as much as I can.

@@nataliam9764 Damn you're old.
But why should I use sunblock?
I’m 18 and I just started a skincare routine two weeks ago. My routine is cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen (super simple). I wasn’t even aware of any of that stuff at 10 and 12. It’s absolutely insane to me that CHILDREN are using retinol.
I used retinol once at 19 (im 22 now) and I got a chemical burn from it, my skin was peeling off and was irritated (especially around my nostrils and right cheek) and it gave me fine lines under my right eye that I didn't have before (and that my left eye didn't and still doesn't have). Since then I also went back to the basics of cleanser, toner, squalene (hydrating serum I use when my skin is extra dry, it's natural and comes from plants), moisturizer and SPF. I've decided not to use reitnol or anything until i'm 25 or 27. I understand it can be used to treat acne but a lot of the retinol out there is really strong and I don't children should be using it unless prescribed by doctors for acne or something. It can cause a lot of damage if it's started too young or not used correctly because someone isn't educated enough on it (at least in my personal experience).
I only have olay and water. That is it 😂

As someone from gen X it’s super scary how people massively overestimate looks and not aging. The true happiness comes with being confident in yourself, having good friends , being established in your career and that usually comes in your 30s and 40s .. I genuinely feel sorry for the kids who grew up constantly being on instagram which feeds their insecurities.. growing up in 80s and 90s nobody really cared about looks , we were all flawed but this was something totally acceptable. It’s almost like being a human is not ok these days . Scary
I work at a Private School in a boarding house in Australia. Omg these girls between 11 and 15 all have Stanleys, Yeti cups the latest iPhones, all the fanciest skincare and makeup plus Dyson airwraps. They literally bullied me (a worker) because I don't have these things. They all already want boob jobs and facial fillers etc. At that age, I was making cringy videos with my friends of doing cartwheels and just being a kid its so scary.
My bro is 14 yo and he complains about his hairline
Its perfectly normal
He thinks he's going bald
I cannot talk sense to him
Is your dad balding?
You don't see his hairline as much as you do
Ive heard, people don't go bald until 16..
To be fair, i was worried about that at 15 too.
It's normal to be concerned about that, just give him some castor oil and do a scalp massage every night.
Retinol is super harsh and kids should not be using it! I fully blame the parents for giving them the money to even buy it because it’s not cheap. I mean, these kids will get hundreds of dollars and just buy whatever they want there. When I was 10 I was at Claire’s buying clip on earrings. My favorites were these frog ones.
It’s sad seeing people ruin their own looks like this.
I wish I could wear makeup. But I got extra sensitive skin and eczema, so using the products just makes me itch. It's not the allergic itch, just like slight itching that's just infuriating. I currently got a splotch of eczema right under my left eye and I really can't do anything until it goes away. I';m 31 now and I never learned proper makeup because of those two issues. Basically, girls, it could be much worse. Wrinkles aren't bad.
I always hated the feel of makeup on my skin, so i never wear it, i used to just do mascara, but when i turned 30 i stopped that too. I definitely got lots of laugh lines😊
I love that we in the middle east , busy with war, finding food, no electricity, no gas, no shit, this way, we don't have this type of "problems" we have real life issues and suffering. I used to be a doctor in training, i had to do 15 shifts a month with working online just to get by and support my family. How is this possible for such young kids to have such privilege to do whatever they want and get away with it?
Because they live in rich and prosperous countries. No poor shitholes like yours.
Much of this boils down to parents who won't tell their kid 'no'.
Most of the little kids accounts, are run by their mothers, who are living vicariously through their kids.
It's not the child who is paying for all these astronomically priced skin care products, it's the parent.
How is the child getting to Sephora or Ulta to make these purchases?
Again, it's the parent.
For all these older people, so scared of getting older, that they have all these potentially dangerous things done to their bodies...
I'm not fully sure what is the biggest impetus behind this.
I would blame the overconsumption of social media, that supposedly is a huge factor in setting the "beauty standards" of the current time.
Guaranteed, if we experience even a little bit of what countries who are being torn apart, are experiencing, I expect that having the latest Drunk Elephant products or the latest surgical procedure, will be the least of their worries.
This breaks my heart a lot. The fact that there is young people so insecure about themselves that they they are changing themselves because they think it’s popular. Why can’t people just beat themselves? Why do they have to be like someone else? Like the whole gender we have this.
Don’t be like these people love yourself and look after your body you’re already have. You’re beautiful.
I think one of the most insane thing about all this is that some of these trends (freckles, buccal fat removal, eye color change, etc.) are things that can be achieved through makeup or color lenses… why would you permanently alter your body and/or risk your life for a trend that'll probably be over within a couple of months? 😭
Great points made, people are crazy! You look beautiful and have so much natural beauty.
You are an actual good influence on the youth
It's ironic because the more you get botox the more you need it. It just weakens your face muscles. In the end they'll look older younger.
I’m just glad I don’t let peer pressure make me want to change my body and the way I look. People are so easily influenced. That’s why I isolate myself from ppl
the construction paper on the window really got me xD glass filters out most uv rays anyway!!
For real! It just sounds like something a schizophrenic would do.
Kinda. The windshield blocks most UV rays. The side windows (tempered glass) could let through more UVA rays. That's not going to sunburn you, but could lead to skin aging and higher risk of cancer.
Something that has been motivating me for awhile is that however much I hate my body or face, however I may hate myself, there are people who would pay millions of dollars to have the body and face that I have! I am so lucky to be me! Everyone is beautiful in their own way!!
Obession for external, superficial beauty goes hand in hand with lacking of inner beauty.
Such a spot on video!!!
It’s scary what’s happening to society, especially when people get too caught up in unrealistic social media appearance rather than just living a natural beautiful life
Do u think I went to far?
I had nosejob cause I broke my nose and sliding genio bx my chin receeded by breathing problems
@@notasaint6770 comestic/plastic surgery for injuries etc where it can drastically improve both physical and mental health is imo fine, you’re not doing it to fit in to social standards made up by unrealistic social media rules, but to improve your injury.
Otherwise, don’t go overboard, hard to go back to natural when you’ve got too much plastic injected.
I stopped wearing all makeup around age 20. I'm now almost 40. I am regularly mistaken for still being in my 20's.
I love your video and your personality! I honestly feel like when people get plastic surgery, they generally look worse than before (i don't mean it in a mean way). I think people should get off their damn phones and actually interaction more face-to-face. I have plenty of insecurities and low self-esteem, depression, etc. but that's something that I have therapy for. If people can afford it, there is no reason they shouldn't be seeing a therapist. Thanks for the video!
I feel the "playing with filters" contributes to this as well.
The problem seems to me like one of degree. I was born in the early 90s and in my childhood and teenage years I definitely recount bullying when certain products were not the "right brands" or people didn't do makeup yet (at age 11). So might seem more extreme now but none of this are new problems. Another point to keep in mind: more of the crazy parts are now visible that weren't visible, because there was no social media like now.
aging is beautiful. yes, it has its difficulties as any other phase of human development, but can also be a really incredible experience.
If these young ladies volunteered it would take the focus off themselves and what they look like all the time. They could find joy while making a difference and they could see that looking like a model all time is not going to bring you true happiness.
That's the thing, they've been indoctrinated in years of feminism that teaches them that whatever their base desire this second is the most important thing in the world
seeing people do dumb stuff like that and hate themselves so much actually makes me value my appearance more. like yes i have dark circles under my eyes and laugh lines and acne, and my eyes aren't blue and my lips are thin, but I don't spend every waking hour picking things out to hate about myself and trying to fix them. I'm so much more alive and happy than the people who think they have to be perfect and polished all the time. there's more life in the crow's feet of a middle-aged woman who squints when she smiles than there ever will be in the pulled-back faces of those plastic surgery patients.
Putting (too much) value on other people’s opinions is not healthy (especially on the internet!!!). But I am a grown woman (33) growing up very sheltered from ""modern/social media” and I still have to tell myself on a regular basis that today’s the beauty standards are unattainable. I do not think someone growing up with this stands a chance. A ten-year-old being afraid of wrinkles is absurd. But unfortunately, a sad social media reality. Its the environment that’s toxic, not the individuals. The kids today do not stand a chance
Nothing is absurd here, that's all US is abt. Effect of obsessive capitalism. Everything is seen from the perspective of buy-sell & consume. The more slick is the product the better it is either human or object; so u got to participate in the noble competition.☝️
I remember I started suffering from acne when I was a tween and my mom was struggling so hard to make me maintain a skin care routine that will help with inflammation. I would forget to wash my face or put the creams, because it seemed like a chore. Honestly even now as a 35 year old if I could afford skipping skin care I would, there's more fun and important things out there.
I can't believe these kids..
As an elder millienal / gen-x, it wasn't uncommon to see girls getting into makeup around the 8, 9, 10 range. Most were playing around with kids makeup even earlier than that. But few were really going out of the house with more than some lipsmakers. I was wearing makeup at 13 though, like foundation, powder, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, etc. But this was all drugstore brands. There were other girls doing this too (because I wouldn't have been doing it otherwise). And it did become an everyday thing for me to wear makeup all the way through my teen years. It wasn't until my early 20's that I was kinda like "eh, don't need makeup every day". I wasn't even buying high-end makeup until my late 20's. I still enjoy makeup as a form of self-expression, but it's not being worn everyday by me. Hell, I think I should be wearing it more because my products expire faster than I can use them up.
Kids are honestly being kids in this situation. They learn from whatever they are exposed to. So if a parent is letting their kid spend that much time on social media (that adults are using) they are going to pick up behavior and habits from the people they are watching, not realizing how heavilly everything is curated and perfected online. Honestly, I'm not sure if I can fully blame parents in my age range either, because the cost of living is so damn high, and wages have never kept up. There's a saying that "it takes a village to raise a child", but that stopped being a thing in the US during the 50's. Today, parents may have to work long hours, work multiple jobs, or take on side-hustles just to make ends meet. It's no wonder that parents put kids infront of an ipad. So the internet becomes the village. :/
As someone who's niece passed away at the age of 1 years old, aging really is a privilege. I would've given anything to have watched her age.
5:58 --- lol best spongebob reference ever!
When these Sephora 9 yr olds grow up, they’re gonna be a literal parody of stereotypical high school mean girls
The sun is actually essential for good health it’s scary to see people avoiding it like the plague
what's funny is in the 70s-80s young girls were actually TRYING to get as much sun as possible. They'd literally rub oil (not sunscreen) on their skin to get darker lol
One of my students said "I wanna die young so I can die pretty." I was shocked. I didn't know what to say to that
Wrinkles are not our enemy. It means we lived.
I'm just happy to still look good at 38. I'm bald but I look healthy.
They aren't thinking about actual health.
I've got wrinkles, but they look good on me. They're totally missing the point. There are plenty of gorgeous women in their 40s-60s that turn my head.
I am 17 years old Asian girl and I just started using Face wash , don't mention skincare and makeup . I don't even know anything about beauty products. 10 years old knows what I don't amazes me.
the way they dont realise that the skincare they use will backfire on them completely when theyre older.
A lot of skincare products arent meant to be used on skin so young
and if they keep in using skincare that they dont even need is like watering a fake plant
Their skin also makes its own moisture and oils that they NEED
but if theyre slapping on useless skincare products their skin being reliant on those things and theyll end up ruining their skin 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
My 12 year old daughter is obsessed with this stuff. She is so worried about skincare and all the different types of makeup. Worried about her makeup before playing hockey. I dont care too much if its just about playing around or trying fun ways to put on makeup. I care if its becoming her identity.
I just found your channel, you really are a breath of fresh air. Sometimes I thought I was the only one left with this mindset, luckily I’m not.
I too.
We truly live in a society.
I am 18.
I started to have wrinkles on my forehead and grey hair appeared when I was 15.
I started dying my hair, I was obsessed with skincare, makeup, and everything anti-ageing.
I didn't allow myself to live happily at one point.. so I just shaved my dyed hair at the end of 2023 and now I want my natural hair with grey to grow back.
2024 is the year I accepted myself and am going to continue to.
I truly feel so sorry for these young girls who look so beautiful, because I see myself in them. 🥺
I have gray hair too but I also have poofy hair so I can't even find mine. I hope you cherish your gray hair because it shows the struggle you've pushed past
I wore makeup once in my life, broke out in a horrible rash the morning after washing it off after prom. My former classmates look a lot older than they say I do, at least in the face. I’m glad I stick to just chapstick.
Admittedly, the whole anti-aging thing on TikTok began with younger millennials and then extended onto Gen Z. When she talked about the anti wrinkling straw, the second video is by a 30 something year old woman who promotes “training” your face muscles to not smile with your eyes to prevent wrinkles.
I'm not going to lie, the healthiest and best my skin ever looked was 10 years ago when I was riding my bike every day in the Texas summer. I didn't wear any makeup, I used a random face wash and used body lotion on my face. My skin was so nice and the color was even so I didn't even need makeup.
Just one year later when I stopped going outside everyday my skin started looking sallow and sickly. Which made me need to start wearing make up again to fix the color of my skin.
Again, this is a well-edited and contributive video, Misha
If only all people undergoing physical appearance changes would rather spend their time on becoming a better person: getting an education, learning a new skill, curbing laziness, improving their personality and character, get self-confident and cure their mental psychosis. It would be more useful for them, and for society.
I've always just washed my face with rice water to remove oil. Costs less as well, since cooking rice is a daily habit
Being a slave to the current fashion trend is a fool’s errand.
I remember when I was a young teen, I was bullied for years about wearing shorts above knees. I eventually made the switch to past-knee-length shorts, and within a year above-knee-length shorts were in.
From then on, I wore what I wanted. Detractors can pound sand.
When you can't accept yourself you'll go to any lengths to hold others emotionally hostage
Imperfections = character
Imperfections are what makes us unique and stand out on a planet where we are just one among billions.
Aww Grandma Misha is so cute 💙
lol im 20 and ive never been worried about any of this stuff. the world is going crazy...
*The Mouse Utopia Experiment* with "The Beautiful Ones" ring a bell??!?!?!?
Yup. 100% that's the stage our society is in
I’m so happy I’m not the only one who thinks like this! And so happy that you speak on this!
It’s times like these that make me glad I’m a dude just shower than done no makeup routine that’s more complicated than my algebra homework used to be 😂
I can’t blame the ones dealing with aging. Age discrimination is a thing. In a society obsessed with looks and youth if you look old people will disregard you and what you have to offer.
im gen z and i really dont like the obsession with changing our looks in my generation. I think natural beauty is everything and beautiful and we should love what were born with its just so sad to see people around my age do this to themselves i think we should appreciate what god gave us.
Because it's not a gen z thing, almost everyone from every generation is obsessed with beauty, it's just that in this generation we can truly see this trait online being exposed in social media. Putting the "gen z" or any current generation is often used to raise the view of this kind of yt vid viewers.
I am glad to see that I see different youtubers with different opinions regarding many things, coming together to agree that obsession with youth is scary and ominous
I like how u say "ужас" 😀😀
I would go one step further and say it’s ok to be unattractive. Some of us just are. I get a lot of pressure to try and be beautiful or whatever by wearing make up or spending money on a wardrobe of clothes that are trendy. I’m just not interested. I hate wearing make up. I’m ok with just a t shirt and comfy pants or shorts. I prefer the elastic waists, so what?
