„Cosmeticorexia”, noul fenomen în rândul fetițelor de 8-14 ani care îi sperie pe dermatologi. Sunt obsedate de a obține „pielea perfectă” și folosesc produse de îngrijire nocive

Dermatologists have identified a new phenomenon called 'cosmeticorexia' among children and adolescents obsessed with achieving 'perfect' skin. A study involving 55 patients aged 8 to 14 revealed excessive use of skincare products and significant time spent on social media. This trend has led to increased cases of acne and skin irritation due to inappropriate products for young users. Authorities in Italy are investigating whether cosmetic brands are indirectly targeting minors through marketing strategies. Experts warn about the mental health impacts, including anxiety and low self-esteem, stemming from unrealistic beauty standards promoted online.
