From skincare to makeup, beauty products are becoming an increasingly big part of young people’s lives – with social media and influencers helping drive the trend.

It’s thought that by 2028, more than 160 million children worldwide are expected to be using skincare products, according to data analysis company Statista.

Here at Newsround we wanted to find out why this is, and what impact this could have.

Nina went to investigate the potential dangers of children using beauty products not meant for them.

Nina spoke to lots of young people about whether they use makeup or skincare products.

While not everyone did, lots of you told us about the products you enjoy including mascara, lip gloss, facewash and more.

You also told us that you often see products online on TikTok and YouTube as part of trends like ‘get ready with me’ and ‘day in the life’.

One of you said “I saw it around TikTok and YouTube and stuff, and I just thought ‘why not try it?’, thought it would be fun and it was.”

Another of you said: “A lot of people post about it, like their morning routines.”

We asked TikTok and YouTube what they’re doing to protect young users from unsuitable beauty content.

As the sites are for those over the age of 13, they shared some advice for teens.

A TikTok representative told us:

“We recognise that special safeguards are required to protect teens online, which is why TikTok offers an experience for teens that is much more restrictive than the experience for adults on our platform including not allowing targeted advertising to U18s.
