A teen Vogue editor has shared her thoughts on current trends she predicts we might regret in the future—from star-shaped pimple patches to bubble skirts. Ashleigh Carter ( @ashweecarter ), 33, from New York City, revealed her list of questionable trends in a video that has racked up 36,200 likes and 769,400 views. "I work as a writer at a fashion magazine, so it's in my wheelhouse to pay attention to these things anyways.
I also think these videos are a good outlet for others to share how they feel about what trends they're seeing, and it starts a debate in the comments," Carter told Newsweek . Star Pimple Patches First on Carter's list are star-shaped pimple patches. In her video, she shared: "First, stop wearing these pimple patches in public.
What are we doing? I don't see a bright future for these stars." These skincare stickers, popularized by brands like Starface, have become very popular. Initially created to help treat acne discreetly, Starface's designs turned acne patches into bold, eye-catching accessories.
They tapped into a younger demographic who embraced the idea of normalizing acne while making it fun and creative. However, Carter has since softened her stance on the patches. "People were quick to defend the star pimple patches, and I was surprised by that.
I always thought it looked odd that people went out to dinner or to the bar with a star on their face, but many people said it's a fun way to deal with acne — which is a source of insecurity for so man.
