Teenage facial

This afternoon Little Prince and I will be playing in the park, while Drama Teen goes for a teenage facial at the local beauty salon. I've been reading on one of my American dominated adoption boards about how some of them disapprove of various things - one of which that was mentioned was teenage facials. I don't think I'm a bad parent for allowing Drama Teen to have one of these facials. She had her first one for her 13th birthday, and 4 months (ish) later this is her second. She loves to wear make up, don't know where she gets that from as I never wear any, and I thought this was a good way of reinforcing good skin care. After all if the beautician tells you to always remove your make up totally before bed, it carries a lot more weight than if mum says the same thing!! And to my total amazement, my active can't sit still for more than a few minutes daughter, loved having her birthday facial. She found it extremely relaxing and felt very pampered. I'd much rather she grew up feeling that a facial was a way to treat herself than follow her mum's path and use chocolate as a treat! Much better for her health, her face and her waistline. And the facial is a once in a while treat, not a weekly essential part of her 'beauty regime' if she wants them that regularly she's going to have to get a job and pay for them herself lol.
