If you’ve been to Sephora or Ulta in recent months, you’ve likely noticed that the teens and tweens are taking over. Middle schoolers are spending all their birthday money on brands like Drunk Elephant, Glow Recipe, and La Roche-Posay, and posting their #grwm (“get ready with me”) videos on TikTok. A recent study found that teen spending on beauty products increased by 23% in 2023 from the prior year, with a 33% increase in cosmetics spending alone. But does a 12-year-old really need a vitamin C serum?
Dermatologist Brooke Jeffy, MD, recently shared her advice for teens and tweens on TikTok, and it’s all about keeping things simple and focusing on healthy habits.
🌟 Skincare Dos and Don’ts for Tweens and Teens with Normal Skin 🌟 🚫 Don’t overcomplicate your routine: Stick to a simple 3-4 step process. 🚫 Don’t use chemical exfoliants, retinols, and harsh scrubs: They can be too aggressive for young skin. 🚫 Don’t dive into anti-aging too early: Skip peptides, growth factors, and retinol for now. ✅ Do protect your skin: Apply sunscreen every morning. ✅ Do maintain healthy habits: Eat plenty of fruits & veggies, stay hydrated, prioritize sleep & exercise, and cherish close relationships. ✅ Do avoid harmful substances: Steer clear of alcohol and vaping for lasting skin health. #TeenSkincare#TweenSkincare#Dermatologist
Focus on healthy body habits, like a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and exercise, and having close relationships for social support.
Now that you’re tempted to throw out everything in your tween’s bathroom and start over, you might want to check out Dr. Jeffy’s other TikTok, which goes into specifics on skincare brands that she recommends avoiding. She also shares that if your tween wants to buy everything in the viral Glow Recipe line, they should stick with the Avocado Cleanser and Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer.
At the end of the day, anything beyond a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer, and sunscreen is unnecessary and could be doing more damage than good.
Makeup is expensive. It just is. It’s easy to drop hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on cosmetics every year, so when the opportunity arises to save a little money, we consider that a major win. Whether you wear a full face or just like a little light enhancement, the rule is: brows, lashes, lips. If you only have a few minutes, or prefer knocking out your look fast, hitting those three products will frame your face and bring out your natural beauty even more. When mascara is that important, making sure it’s only the good stuff matters. But you don’t have to spend a ton, either. Not when you’re in the market for the best drugstore mascara.
You could stroll the makeup department at the store, but inexpensive and easy are two of our favorite things. Although these are brands found at drugstores, we snagged them all from Amazon. As a bonus, the reviews speak for themselves (you won’t find that on a drugstore shelf). These Amazon customers swear each one is the best drugstore mascara, but they’re all fabulous. Plus, most of them are less than $10. You can afford to experiment to find your new favorite.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
Length + volume is the combo this mascara from Maybelline uses to create lift that almost 127,000 Amazon reviewers rave about.
Real Review:I never used to bother with mascara at all because my lashes are so short all that would end up happening was I would go from having short lashes, to still having short lashes that are now clogged up with black gunk. However, I was required to get some mascara for a shoot and went with this one because I loved the brush and OH. MY. GOD. People asked me if I had fakes on! I’m literally obsessed and it’s a total game changer for when you want a more natural, cute look to your eyes without eyeliner or crazy shadow. Can’t say it did much for volume (and I admittedly probably used too much because like I said, not an experienced mascara user), but the length it gives is insane. Don’t think. Just buy.—Destini Moody
This TikTok-viral mascara caught everyone's attention. It gives a false lash-effect that you're craving with a few swipes of the wand. Just ask one of the 350,00+ reviewers.
Real Review: I am a person who uses false lashes on a daily basis for the past four years or so and this mascara makes my lashes look amazing. I still use my false lashes because I’ve gotten used to the way it makes me look, but I would absolutely wear justice mascara when I’m going to work or to the grocery store on a regular basis when I’m not going out it’s incredible. It is the best mascara I have ever use and it’s easy to come off. And does it make your eyes it’s like other mascaras that claim to give you a false lashes look buy it now.—Tamera Myers
One of the originals, this mascara is easy to go back to again and again. It's a dense formula that can be layered. And a 4.6 Amazon rating? Hard to beat that.
Real Review:Used this time and time again. Applies great for price and I am a big fan of the brush! You can even bend the wand a bit at the end of you prefer a curved wand/brush for application. I have dark brown hair and always get the black.—Isabel Hocker
Looking for drama? Look no further than Telescopic Mascara from L'Oréal. You'll get incredible length and separation, and it layers really nicely with other formulas if you want some extra volume.
Real Review:I can’t even tell you how many mascaras I have used in my many years of wearing makeup. So far this has been the best, especially for the price. I personally love the look of the shinny black, it makes your lashes super long and just pop! Will definitely order again.—Trish B.
For 10x more volume without clumping or flaking, Lash Blast Mascara coats every lash and skips the spider effect.
Real Review:I don't know what else to say. I've been using this mascara since I was in highschool and will continue to do so until I die or they stop making it. The applicator has a very nice brush that fully coats my lashes and doesn't make them clump together as im putting it on. Sometimes I pair it with their white brush-on lash extensor for extra length and I absolutely love it!—Esther W.
Strengthen your lashes while you look great. Healthy Lengths Mascara uses olive oil, vitamin E, and rice protein to keep your lashes in tip-top shape.
Real Review:This is the best mascara I have found in the 60 years I have been using mascara. Easy to apply, does not clump, stays on all day. When you are ready to remove it washes off easily with soap and water. Great mascara and reasonably priced. Will be my mascara from now and will recommend to others.—C. blenis
HEROINE MAKE by KISSME Long & Curl Up Waterproof Mascara
HEROINE MAKE
Yes, okay, this is actually a Japanese drugstore brand, but once you see how well it works, you won't mind the couple extra bucks. If you're in the market for ultra-ultra-ultra-black mascara that lengthens and curls, you'll want to try this one out.
Real Review:I’ve tried my fair share of mascaras but oh my! My true love is the L’Oréal telescopic mascara but when I ran out I decided to try this and I’m in love! Layers and layers and it doesn’t look heavy or spidery. They look so beautiful with lots of layers or very few. I have long moderately thick lashes so I generally look for extra length and lift . Also this doesn’t give me raccoon eyes when I have slept in it or even wash it off with oil cleanser (it foams!??!) I can sleep in this , cry, rub Im and it does not budge until I want it to. I’m definitely buying this for my sisters wedding!—Olive Shreve
Darken those lashes in more ways than one. Gentle lash tint technology gradually darkens your lashes over 7 days so they'll even look more defined without any mascara at all.
Real Review:This is my favorite mascara by far! It makes my lashes look so much thicker and fuller without having to use fake lashes. I'll never buy another kind of mascara again!—Audrey Sheffield
Microfibers grab every lash to lengthen and build for dramatic lashes that last.
Real Review:Every time I think I'm going to get a different mascara - I'm disappointed and go back to this one. It goes on beautifully. Layers well, never clumps. Washes off easily and doesn't smudge. It also helps my fragile lashes grow. What's not to love? It is hard to find, which is why I buy it off Amazon. Love, love, love it.—Melanie H. S.
Up to 24 hour wear sounds unreal, but the reviews don't lie (although we don't recommend wearing mascara for a full 24 hours, we know life happens).
Real Review: I read several reviews and decided to try the Milani Brand. I am thrilled with the product. It is challenging to take off, and one must have patience when removing it because it does not come off quickly. It will stay on all day until you remove it at night, and you can see the little tubular lengtheners. It's a trip because I wanted to make sure it was not my lashes that were being removed, and it was not. Great product.—Tracey R. Levy
While we know this one is a bit more on the higher end price-wise, it doesn't take much of it to get the lash extension look without the cost. The tubing fiber effect doesn't flake, either. If length isn't what you're after, check out blinc's other mascara options, too.
Real Review:I've searched high and low for a mascara that adds length AnD volume while staying out and not smudging or flaking all over the place and I've finally found the holy grail. Before finding this mascara I wouldn't leave my house without fake lashes on, and now I can give my lashes a break. 10/10 beauty product. —GreenvilleMom
From the folks who brought us those set-and-peel lip stains you've probably seen all over TikTok comes a fabulously volumizing mascara. The vegan wax formula even helps create and hold curl.
Real Review:This mascara is my new favorite. Goes on smoothly and evenly was zero effort. No clumps. Made my lashes look longer and fuller. A breeze to remove at night. —Daria Holley

Navigating the world of popular beauty products is tricky
Tween and teen skincare have a vastly different meaning these days. A few years ago, parents were lucky if their child washed their faces daily, and now, with products going viral on TikTok and used by influencers in beauty videos, we’ve arrived at a new level of awareness about keeping skin clean. While that can be a good thing, not knowing which products are hurting instead of helping young skin is also an issue. Dr. Brooke Jeffy, a tween and teen skincare expert who recently listed her least favorite products that kids are buying at Sephora, took to TikTok for a two-part series on which viral skincare products are safe for young skin.
She talks about viral skincare products Byoma and Bubble first.
What viral skincare products are safe for your kid’s skin? So many of you have been wondering about the safety of Byoma & Bubble skincare products for your tween or teen’s skin. Let’s dive in: Byoma definitely has some acceptable products! Their cleansers and gel cream moisturizer get the green light. While hydrating serums are okay, they may not be necessary for younger skin. You can safely skip the rest. Bubble: With a wide range of products, it can be a bit overwhelming. Simplify their routine by sticking to Bubble’s cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and sunscreens. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll explore Glow Recipe and Florence Mills! ✨ #TeenSkincare#TweenSkincare#SkincareTips#SkincareRoutine#SkincareForBeginners#Bubble#Byoma
It can be challenging for tweens and teens to resist the fun, colorful packaging of Byoma products, and the good news is that they’re not all bad, according to Jeffy. “Byoma, as a brand, has some reasonable products—cleansers and gel moisturizers. The hydrating serum is okay but probably not needed,” she says.
Bubble, another super popular skincare brand, isn’t as great. “It’s a harder brand to navigate with so many products, some with more heavy actives, which makes me like it less. If you’re using it, stick to their cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and sunscreens,” Jeffy says.
In her second video, she continues with brands Glow Recipe and Florence Mills.
What viral skincare products are safe for your kid’s skin? Part 2: Let’s talk about Glow Recipe and Florence Mills. Glow Recipe offers a variety of products with numerous ingredients, some of which may raise questions. If you’re a fan of the brand, consider the avocado cleanser and watermelon glow pink juice moisturizer as safer choices. However, I’m cautious about their sunscreen, as there have been complaints about a noticeable white cast. It might be best to skip everything else from Glow Recipe. Moving on to Florence Mills, their sunny skies moisturizer with SPF is a standout option, providing sun protection for your child’s skin. Additionally, you can confidently go for the magic micellar cleansing gel and hydrating facial moisturizer. Just keep in mind that Florence Mills tends to include a significant number of extracts in their products. What brands should I cover next? Share your suggestions in the comments! 👇 #TeenSkincare#TweenSkincare#SkincareTips#SkincareRoutine#SkincareForBeginners#GlowRecipe#florencemills
Heads up, parents—the uber-popular Glow Recipe isn’t on Jeffy’s list of safe skincare brands. She explains: “It has so many products with so many ingredients with questionable benefits. If you are a fan, stick with their Avocado Cleanser and Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer. Skip everything else.”
She also mentions that she’s not sure about the sunscreen. She hasn’t used it in person, but she has seen lots of complaints about white cast. What’s white cast? It’s when sunscreen leaves a white, filmy layer on your skin.
Florence by Mills is another brand heavy in extracts that are potential allergens, but Jeffy likes the Sunny Skies moisturizer with SPF. Otherwise, stick to the Magic Micellar Cleansing Gel and Hydrating Facial Moisturizer, she says.
If your tween or teen insists on buying and using these viral skincare brands, cleansing products and moisturizers are your best bet. As Jeffy says in several of her videos, kids should skip retinol, acids, toners, and anything else created with mature skin in mind.
These are the beauty gift ideas that’ll make you feel like a holiday gift guru
The holidays are around the corner, and this is going to be the gift guide you save to send to your partner and family for sure.

Stylized clothing for kids delivered right to our front doors? Sign us up
We’re going to let you in on a little secret. Signing up for a kids’ clothing subscription box really does live up to the hype. Not only do you skip the hassle of actually getting to the store, but someone else does all the work for you. There are services out there that offer everything from high-end designer duds to consignment treasures in near-perfect condition, and the best part? There’s something for newborns up through the tween years, so you’re totally covered whenever you need to re-stock their closets.
Kikpik
Kidpik’s original designs outfit your fashion-savvy kid with on-trend looks each season. Every ultra-personalized box contains 3-5 mix-and-match pieces, including tops, bottoms, dresses, layering pieces, shoes, and accessories that coordinate to create multiple unique ensembles. What’s trending this season? Denim, hoodies, pops of color, and vintage vibes.
The Back-to-School collection allows you to either shop by outfit or if you don’t want to follow the trends, pick from Kidpik’s basics collection, featuring staples in vibrant colors that can be purchased individually. The collection offers sizes ranging from 2T-16 and footwear in sizes 7-6 and is designed with easy coordination in mind. If you’ve got little ones, check out their brand-new collection just for babies in sizes 12 and 18 months.
Why You’ll Love It: Customizable to fit your needs, choose to receive your boxes four or eight times a year, or try a one-time trial box. Each box includes fun extras like a coloring sheet and whimsical iron-on patches.
Ages: Girls and Boys 12 months – 14 years
Cost: Purchase the entire box or choose items a la carte. The average retail value of each item is $15 when you keep the entire box and the 30% keep-all discount is applied. You can also purchase the whole box or send back the clothes you don’t want. In that instance, kids can choose to donate any unworn product to families and kids in need instead of returning or exchanging the items through the KIDPIK CARES donation matching program. This program benefits non-profits such as Baby2BabRight now, you can get 40% off your first subscription with KP40 and 25% OFF 5+ items in the KIDPIK shop (no code required).
Subscribe at kidpik.com. As always, shipping + returns + styling are free!
Rent-a-Romper
Founded by mom, Lauren Gregor, this baby clothing subscription box aims to kill two birds with one stone: make parents' lives easier by shipping you the clothes your child needs (and can grow into) and alleviating the negative effects that the fashion industry has on the planet. Read on to find out how they do this (and more) one capsule collection at a time.
How It Works: Take the quick quiz and Rent-a-Romper will curate a capsule wardrobe just for your child. Wear the clothes as long and as often as you like, and then return the styles in the compostable self-addressed package when you're ready to size up or swap out styles. Simply log back into Rent-a-Romper to designate what you'd like in your next capsule delivery.
Why You'll Love It: Parents are faced with enough choices, which means sometimes less is more. You'll love that instead of dozens of choices, you can choose either their "Essential Capsule" with 7 items or the "Premium Capsule" that comes with 15 items. Our recent "Just the Essentials" box came with just the must-have pieces, including pajamas, casual tees, pants for play, and even a button-down. The box was thoughtfully curated and included essentials that our growing tot could wear on a daily basis.
Ages: preemie to 4T
Cost: The "Premium Capsule" costs $41/month and the “Essentials Capsule” cost $24/month
Why You'll Love It: Stitch Fix is one of the most popular styling services out there for a good reason. You get a stylist who will curate a selection of clothing that reflects your kids' unique style. Plus, there is no subscription required! New for the 2022 back-to-school season is Stitch Fix's line just for tweens: The Commons. This new collection has 150 items made exclusively with tweens in mind, featuring graphic tees, muted colors, and a California-cool vibe. All items found in The Commons are under $50, which makes finding affordable clothes for particular tweens easier than ever.
How it works: You'll fill out a style profile for your child (or with them) and set your price range; stylists will select 10 items (some start as low as $10) from brands like Nike, Hurley, and Toms.
Ages: 2T - 18 years
Cost: Shipping and returns are always free; you pay a $20 Fix fee that goes toward your total order amount. If you keep all the items in your fix, you save 25%.
If you’re already a fan of Fabletics, check out what they have in store for your mini-me. FabKids creates original, comfortable, and on-trend pieces as well as wardrobe staples like leggings and tees. You can also request fashion pieces like dresses and boots. Start by taking a quick style quiz. Then each month, Fabkids will send style picks directly to your inbox. Choose the pieces you want or skip the month.
Why You’ll Love It: Unlike clothing subscription services that send a mystery box to your door each month, Fabkids hands the control over to parents to decide what to buy and when.
Ages: Boys and Girls 2-14.
Cost: Sign up for VIP membership and enjoy up to 50% off regular prices, early access to exclusive collections, sales, and more. $30/month goes toward your purchase.
Delivering seasonal mini-wardrobes right to your doorstep, each box contains a mix of 5, 8, or 12 classic and on-trend pieces in soft and comfy fabrics, curated to fit your child’s style and preferences (i.e. no buttons, loves patterns, etc). The design is all done in-house so you won’t find these styles in stores. And be sure to check out their e-commerce shop to order individual items between seasons.
Why You’ll Love It: Rockets of Awesome taps into your buying history and preferences to create an ultra-customized shopping experience. The more you shop, the more tailored the selections become. You also have the ability to take a peek at your upcoming box and swap out items you don’t want.
Ages: Boys and Girls newborn – 14
Cost: No membership, shipping, or styling fees. Purchase only the pieces you love, each under $40, and send back the rest!
With a Wee Blessing subscription, you'll receive name-brand items at 40-60% off the retail price each month. After working with an in-house stylist, items will be selected and shipped to your doorstep. You have ten days to decide what works, and then you send back the rest for free! Even better, they also offer a like-new service that comes with all the styling perks, but with each item costing no more than $4.
Why You'll Love It: Wee Blessing has an all-family subscription service. Moms, Dads, and kids of all ages can now receive 3-4 customized outfits every month, with just one subscription.
Surprisly is a baby clothing subscription box perfect for new parents or as a gift for your loved ones. Each box contains three hand-selected outfits from boutique brands for baby’s day out, playtime, and snooze. Every clothing item is beautifully constructed, made exclusively from cotton or organic cotton, and incredibly cute.
How it works: Your daughter will receive a high-quality, age-appropriate t-shirt once a month, alongside fun gifts that go along to match the theme! Choose to order one box, go month-to-month, or go ahead with a six-month subscription.
In this fun baby clothing subscription box, you'll get a seasonal outfit at an affordable price. Each box is designed to include an outfit and matching accessory.
A unique blend of consignment and kids’ clothing subscription box, Everlasting Wardrobe gives parents the freedom to rent clothing for 30 days.
How it works: Once you fill out a profile for each kid using the service, you’ll receive eight new or like-new items of clothing. Kids can wear those items for a full 30 days before returning them. If there’s something your kid loves too much to send back, you can buy that item at a deep discount.
Why you’ll love it: There’s no charge for shipping, you’ll have stylists picking stuff based on the categories and customizations based on your preferences (with no styling fees), and you’ll have access to hot brands like Burt’s Bees Baby, OMAMImini, Kickee, I Haven’t The Foggiest, Frenchie Mini Couture, PopUpShop, Mimi and Maggie, Red Caribou, and more. Also, if you’re opting to have gently-used items sent to you, it’s good to know that all items go through an inspection and an eco-friendly cleaning process after being returned and before being sent back out.
Ages: 6 months – 12 years
Cost: $40 per month for 8 pieces of new and like-new professionally cleaned & inspected clothing for 30 days, or $80 per month for 8 pieces of brand-new clothing for 30 days.
Lifestyle brand Izzy & Liv has a version of their Brown Sugar Box for kids and teens.
How it works: Both boxes will be themed, and even though the items will be a mystery until opened, everything included will equal a retail value of at least $100. You'll get at least one Izzy & Liv shirt and other sweet things made with the brown sugar girl in mind. Little girls might get school supplies, hair accessories, and books, while tweens can expect to get beauty products, lunch totes, and even pillow covers.
Why you'll love it: This box is designed with African American girls in mind, with culturally inspired items featured in every box.
Ages: Kids ages 4-8 and tweens ages 9-14
Cost: If you sign up now, you'll lock in a special $45 (plus shipping) quarterly rate.
One of the most unique clothing subscriptions we've seen, this new service helps moms swap gently used clothing while making sustainable choices in regards to buying clothes for fast-growing kiddos.
How it works: Fill out a profile for your child, select your delivery preferences (monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly), and you'll receive a box of 8-10 gently-used items in your kid's size. At drop-off, you'll be able to hand off any of the items your kid has outgrown, so they can be passed on to a local family. As a bonus, 40% of the items received are donated to a local family in need, rather than thrown out or lost.
Why you'll love it: All items come washed, with no tears or stains. In addition, you can throw in seasonal items like swimsuits, boots, rain jackets, and fancy clothes.
Even though it's more of an accessories subscription, we couldn’t resist these adorable food necklaces from Tiny Hands. Consider signing up for a monthly delivery that’s perfect for pre-tween kiddos.
How it works: Join the Necklace of the Month club and your kid will receive a miniature food necklace in line with the theme for that month. For example, month one is cupcakes, month two is cookies, month three is donuts, and so on.
Why you’ll love it: The teeny, tiny details of each necklace will remind you of dollhouse miniatures, and each one has a yummy scent!
You'll never have to worry about not having enough socks again with this fun monthly shipment. Just decide how often you want to receive a box of socks, and once you sign up, they'll start delivering on your preferred schedule.
Why you'll love it: Fun, colorful socks bring a little joy into a kids' daily wardrobe.

We’ll be supporting these AAPI & Asian-Owned brands all year!
May is AAPI Heritage Month! It’s a time when, according to asianpacificheritage.gov, “The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum join in paying tribute to the generations of Asian and Pacific Islanders who have enriched America’s history and are instrumental in its future success.”
We’re celebrating by showcasing some of the best brands in the world that are owned and run by Asian American and Pacific Islander entrepreneurs.
