Dear Bec — I have a beauty obsessed tween

Has your tween bugged you to buy them fancy face cream or a Drunk Elephant serum? Younger and younger teenagers are lusting after super expensive — and age-inappropriate — beauty products that they’ve seen on social media. Bec Sparrow is here to help you know what to do if your tween or teen is breaking the bank with creams, make-up and serums.   The advice in this podcast is general and does not consider your personal situation. If you require further advice specific to your needs, please consult a professional.  Producers: Hannah Reich, Josie Sargent  Supervising Producer: Tamar Cranswick Executive Producer: Alex Lollback Sound design: Ann-Marie de Bettencor
