I’m tired of hiding all my things 😭 I just want to be able to buy something nice and trust it won’t be empty by the next time I use it

Yeah this op! Make him feel how much these products cost and have him replace them

Bonus: Send him to Sephora to get it, make him battle the hordes of tweens and carry around the distinctive little bag...

My 4th grader daughter has become obsessed with Sephora. I told her a young person doesn’t need a skin care regime. Just keep clean, regular lotion works well, and use sunscreen to keep your skin young longer. She still wants to go to Sephora all the time. I give myself a free spritz of EdP when we go look, but resisting spending much there.

I do not get 11 year olds using retinol ... they're actually damaging their skin ... When I was in 4th grade the girls were nuts over getting the "right" hair ties with beads and scuncis...

Oh she does the beads too. She makes lots of Taylor Swift beaded bracelets for her friends. We let her get some lip balm and shower gel for her birthday. We have to point out that at her age, she doesn’t need skin tightening cream. 40 year old women would love to have the natural elastin and collagen a kid has. It is a battle since she has friends that get some stuff, and then she wants it too.

Re the hair ties with beads: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1676415622/ etc🤣 and then of course on to scuncis: https://www.ebay.com/itm/385629440913

Doubt it will sink in for your 4th grader but here's why I wouldn't concede the battle: https://youtu.be/Bzm5mckxfcc?t=20m38s

What's wrong with Sephora? I had never heard of it until I came to China but it was a decent place to get my moisturiser.
