Confused by the twelve year old girl in your life who wanted retinol for xmas? Well, she’s certainly not alone. These days, teens and tweens are lining up outside any neighborhood Sephora in search of a skincare fad designed for people more than a decade older.

We also look inward, examining the way the beauty industry shapes our sense of self worth and how, no matter the decade, the trials of girlhood stay the same.
