“Even that little headband, my kid wants it,” Bush Hager said of the product in one of the videos she and Kotb watched.
She continued, “And let me say this: I have kids who are into skin care. They don’t have cell phones. They don’t even have an iPad. So it’s happening, it’s spreading…”
“In school?” Kotb asked.
“Well, I think it’s spreading from TikTok — but it’s spreading into the pores of our culture,” Bush Hager replied.

For her part, Kotb was interested in how the Bush-Hager children found out about the trend, to which the mother of three replied that it was a hot topic among her daughter Mila’s friends.
“My daughter Mila told me she went to Target yesterday with a friend. And she says, ‘Look what I bought. This mini Aquaphor, how cute is this?’ Bush Hager said.
She continued, “I just thought, ‘Where have we gotten to?’ And she says, “Why don’t you ever care about that? Why do you never care when I tell you what scrub I bought?” I say, ‘Darling, because you don’t need it. Look at your beautiful skin. You don’t need it.’ ”
Bush Hager added, “My kids don’t spend hundreds of dollars at Sephora, but they go to CVS and Target.”
Adding that she also knows a lot of kids who use skincare, Kotb notes that some treatments can be harmful to younger faces, especially products with acidic ingredients like retinol.
“But also, where’s the Barbies? Where’s the Nintendo? It’s so bizarre to me that their playground is a drugstore that, when we were little, we wanted to go to like, Toys ‘R’ Us and stuff,” Kotb said.
Bush Hager added that she blames social media apps like TikTok.
“My kids don’t have TikTok and they still love it,” she said. “Their friends get TikTok which then becomes the fabric of our culture.”
