The stress of being a child

It seems the spa and beauty industry has now begun to focus their  marketing on young girls
(according to an article in The Seattle Times on  JAN 4 2015)

I was mildly surprised when that industry  started to target men a while ago, but this new campaign targeting children is outrageous.

On ad offered $50 for a 15 minute  '"princess facial massage"

Some old ladies would believe that facials to help their damaged skin,wrinkles,age spots,etc,but why do young girls need a facial???


Their skin  has no damage, just beautiful  !!        


The world does not need a generation of pampered princess.

The president of the SPA association made a statement recently saying "It is good for young girls to learn that beauty treatment  can reduce stress and promote health.
(I think children should  go out side and play ! That can reduce stress and promote health !)

I see it is an attempt by the spa and beauty industry to ensure a new generation of customers.

Getting a new generation of clientele strategy seems to be to get them "hooked".


The earlier , the better !


I feel real princesses are much more humble.



I have not seen children spas in Japan but it is probably coming soon.
I have to say it but Japan mindlessly follows nonsensical trends from the West,especially America.
