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

[Homeymum2]

We supply of course deodorant, soaps, shampoo, conditioner - and even fancy hair products - but I don't buy the make up - so I feel like the removal is also her responsibility -

I'm not opposed to make up - I'm just consider it a luxury to buy with her spending money - not mine

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

less than £3

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!

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.

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.

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.

I wouldn’t even think twice about providing it

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!

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.

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.

Context is everything...what age?

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

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

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

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 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

She's 14 !!!

where will she find for money for this ?

btw do you not like your daughter

first chocolate now make up remover

Yes.

This place is full of loons.

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

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

Just buy some makeup remover and some chocolate for your child for gods sake

But soap hurts your eyes when you try and remove make up from there.

It doesn't agree with everybody's skin, though...

Yes I would consider that something a parent should buy. Along with moisturiser. Do you buy her razors too? You don’t mention that in your OP.

I've 3 teenage girls, one just turned 18. None wear make up but do cleanse/moisturise & i buy whatever they need. One needs a good spot cream at the mo, otherwise it's Cerave/Simple/Clearasil etc Nothing expensive, as money is tight, but i think having the products you need and want to use encourages good personal care habits. And I don't think there's ever a time when there's no chocolate in the house 😄
Fwiw i can recommend Sainsbury's own micellar water & waterproof make up remover, both just a couple of £ and work really well.

Yes, I buy razors
Sorry - I did not list every single item that I buy - I was giving examples
