Healthy skin without the pressure of social media
The decision to introduce age restrictions stems from a growing awareness of the negative impact social media can have on the youth's perception of their own body and skin health. Promoting the idea that the use of anti-aging cosmetics is necessary at a very young age leads to unhealthy behaviors and can have long-term consequences for skin health. The initiative by Swedish pharmacies is a step towards promoting natural skincare and self-acceptance.
Education and responsibility
The introduction of age restrictions for advanced cosmetics by Swedish pharmacies is not only a reaction to dangerous trends but also part of a larger effort to educate the youth about proper skin care. Through this decision, the cosmetic industry and health professionals emphasize the importance of responsibly using skincare products that are tailored to age and individual skin needs. This initiative is an important step towards ensuring that young generations make informed and healthy skin care decisions."
