Skin care for 4-year-olds? It's the beauty debate that just won't die. Conversations about children and skin care continue to resurface in the media and on social media, and estheticians everywhere have their thoughts about it. In this episode of ASCP Esty Talk, Maggie and Ella break down the controversy, share their own opinions, and compare today's kid "wellness rituals" with the play makeup, glitter gloss, and press-on nails of their own childhoods.
