How should we talk to children about beauty treatments?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

What would you say if your 12 year old wanted to shave her legs or get rid of unwanted hair on her face or body? It's that time of year again, when more of our bodies are on show and you might head to your local beauticians for a wax or a pedicure. But how do you react when your teen or tween is starting to show an interest? Trinny Woodall is the founder of the make-up brand Trinny London and has a 17 year old daughter, and Molly Forbes is author of Body Happy Kids and has two girls, aged 11 and six. They joined Emma Barnett to discuss how to speak to your children about beauty treatments and when – if you should at all.
