This increase of interest has been no- ticed by licensed mental health coun- selor Kimberly Salsman, who works in Putnam County Behavioral Health Department. She said noticed a strong con- nection between appearance and skin- care to mental health.
With her patients, she focuses on en- couraging them to take care of them- selves and incorporate skincare into their routine. care of really impacts even their interpersonal relationships because more Salsman explained. more se- cure, and willing to actually ap- proach people that they would normally have not According to associated with facial skincare: Well- being from emotional perception to by Sara Bouhout, Ar- naud Aubert, Francis Vial and Benjamin Choquenet, researchers conducted a study with two groups: one with 32 par- ticipants and the other with 31. This study, published in March 2023 in the Journal of Cosmetic Sci- found involvement of positive and a relaxation ef- fect connected to facial skincare. Skin care and self esteem However, in the last few years, Sals- man said she has noticed appearance become more of a focus, and she sees negatives when it comes to skincare, es- pecially when it comes to anti-aging products.
The main issues she comes across in relation to skincare and appearance stem from self-esteem issues. Salsman said she has noticed younger generations becoming more focused on skincare and appear- ance at much younger ages, having pa- tients as young as 12. She said photo editing and people post-puberty impact self-image and what they think supposed to look like. When people, especially younger generations, take of their skin, like washing their face every night and taking their makeup, then feel a bit better, more valuable and feel more self-control because doing something for themselves, Salsman said. Zoe Kolosci, 21, a DePauw University art history major from Portage, Indiana, relates to what Salsman said about hav- ing a positive connection with her skin- care routine.
Having her skincare routine has cre- ated a consistent routine, from which she Kolosci said she started thinking of her skincare in middle school, but she it very until high school, and by the end of high school, she had her consistent routine. Pressures from social media Both Kolosci and Salsman have no- ticed an increase in younger genera- tions using skincare products, especial- ly expensive and anti-aging products. Both believe social media has an im- pact on why younger generations are using such products along with socio- cultural pressures and capitalism. (younger consumers) believe they have to have expensive Salsman said. have to go to Seph- ora, or not getting good They believe that whatever they see on TikTok, those people look just like that, so they must have a better skincare workout than they This combination of social media, capitalism and pressures go beyond youth even though bombard- ed with it but it extends to older wom- en as well, such as Salsman said.
makeup is really tied in, the skincare is really tied into so many other things that are young people, and even older she said. ple are more self-conscious than they used to be. I think being unable to see all these things and other people makes them think not good enough and what using is not good Salsman cited the dangers of cial intelligence and and how ad- vertisers use those and self- consciousness in their marketing. Tina Pressey, 53, from Terre Haute, is very active when it comes to skincare. She has tried and done things from cleansers to Botox and name it, I use she said.
She started her skincare journey much older than middle school years, starting in her late 30s when she noticed aging. Pressey said the and that her goal is to look younger but not hide her age. Skincare revolution affects children Like Salsman and Kolosci, Pressey has noticed the rising youth interest in skincare through her 11-year-old grand- daughter. She said her granddaughter spent $530 to $600 her birthday money on products in one trip. intent is to literally not age at she said.
always like, getting a and like, 11 years So her intent is more to not ever age and mine is to just slow it She feels the anti-aging and expen- sive products are pushing her grand- daughter to grow up faster, as well as targeting her self-image. Salsman said she feels children, in general, are being pushed to age faster with skincare being one symptom of it. Because parents have to work more, children must, for example, cook for themselves and to get themselves on the bus as young as 10-years-old. in a way, if you think about it, if a been getting the bus by them- selves since they were 12, and now 14, pretty much a little she said. She has noticed this increase in re- sponsibility has led to them having to learn self-regulation and other skills, or them having to deal with anxiety.
Salsman said ways to help are to be realistic of be simple, cut back, stop and think, talk to trusted individ- uals and to try other selfcare activities.
