Ruined Skin and Taking a Knee for 10/21/2017
Dear Family Coach
Dear Family Coach: My daughter is a freshman in high school. She’s addicted to makeup and wears it all the time. Sometimes she just plays around with it in her room for fun. She’s gotten quite good at it. But her complexion is deteriorating. She doesn’t seem to care, even as she breaks out. What can I do to get her to wear less makeup and care for her skin better? – Concerned
Dear Concerned: Gene Simmons and Bobbi Brown were also addicted to makeup, and look where it got them. Your daughter is a teenager, and she’s experimenting with makeup. That’s certainly age-appropriate. Asking her to lay off of it is akin to asking her to stop texting with her friends. It’s just not going to happen. Also, her skin might be deteriorating due to puberty, not just the makeup.
