While I'm here - is make up remover a toiletry parents should provide?

Tesco micellar water is only £1 and lasts a fair whille.....

There is obviously a back story here.
Care to share OP?
Anything to do with your own upbringing?

Yes.

This place is full of loons.

She's 14 !!!

where will she find for money for this ?

btw do you not like your daughter

first chocolate now make up remover

I always bought my two - son and daughter, whatever they needed. I like nice products so don't expect them to be different.
My son went through a stage of spotty skin so I researched and bought the best products for him. They worked thankfully.
I didn't expect my son to buy his own football boots, or my daughter to buy her pony's feed.
A decent cleanser will help maintain good skin; why would you want them to suffer bad skin? Basic Skin care a luxury???? @Homeymum2

Are you my mother OP. She bought as little as possible for me when I was growing up and expected me to pay through the nose as soon as I started earning.

I moved out at 18 as a result.

I made sure that my DD and my DS had suitable skincare and taught them good personal care. I still “treat” them to pamper type packs every now and again - both adults and only one still at home.

I didn't realise this was the same poster! My dds getting a monthly care box when she starts her periods, I love treat foods during that time so would treat her the same

How do you expect her to clean her face? Soap can harmful to facial skin so I would always provide a Micellar water cleanser (which removes make up) whether she is wearing it or not

Context is everything...what age?

But yeah, feels a bit tight. Me and my young adult daughter just share stuff like this anyway.

I provided cleanser for all of my kids as it’s a good habit like flossing which I also provide. If they wanted something premium then they’d need to pay the difference between what I pay and what they’d like but they were happy with what I bought.

Just buy her the make up remover wipes. Got a packet of 20 for sensitive skin from Aldi for 55p, most places have them for a pound or less.

That's true, some of the ones with oil in that you shake (Clinique springs to mind but I'm sure there's a cheaper version) are good too.

The simple one is amazing!

I wouldn’t even think twice about providing it

My mum did (30 years ago), I had a really nice vitamin E soap and soft cloths because my skin was sensitive. It’s a great idea to get them used to taking care of their skin and using moisturisers with sunscreen in them too.

Surely all face wash will remove make up if used properly/thoroughly?

A lot of them do jack all on black waterproof mascara. I buy Simple waterproof eye make up remover, it's one of the only things that works for me and doesn't leave me with stinging eyes.

I'd want her to be able to wash it off properly so yes I'd just chuck something in the trolley suitable for this. Just a basic product to do the job and help her with looking after her skin and letting her know I care.

I buy Ds face wash, spot treatment and skincare pads. I am in the industry. I bought my first skincare around age 9, I’m 52 now so this isn’t a new idea.
How old are they? I feel it is important young people learn to look after their skin. If money is very tight, buy a less expensive gentle formula. If money isn’t tight, just buy it!

less than £3

I don’t understand your dislike for your DD. Between the chocolate and her asking for a bit of compassion during her period and this you make her sound like a burden

Yes, all toiletries and chocolate are things that are nice to provide.

Are you coming to terms with what a teenager needs these days. I appreciate you may have been brought up without them, however both can be bought cheaply if cost is an issue.

What's the story?

We have this one:

Though we have used the Dollar Shave Club as well, I'm sure there others. You get a decent handle etc in the starter pack, then set how often you want blades. I didn't really feel I could talk to my (very lovely) mum about stuff like this as I was very private, and my daughter is similar. So when she asked about leg shaving, I just said she was welcome to do what she wanted with her legs etc, but to use decent blades and lubrication as the first time I ever tried with no input I flipping dry shaved my legs with a cheap Bic and it was horrendous 😂 And she seems to have taken it on board.

I keep one of the packs of blades for me when they arrive and use the same handle as her with my own blade, on the rare occasion I shave 😬😬😂

so you are happy to let them clean their hair clean their bodies but not their faces if they wear make up ?
odd.

Yes. Why wouldn't you? I'm not buying the drunk elephant cleanser but normal make up remover yes

I buy my teenagers baby wipes to remove make up with. I buy them face wash, toner and moisturiser. They have less spots now, because of the good skincare routine.

Just buy the make up remover, between this and your other thread, I’m guessing you don’t like your daughter very much.
