TikTok has given us a lot of great content, useful tips and trends, but we should always take every TikTok advice with a grain of salt. Here are some popular skincare trends on TikTok that most dermatologists wouldn’t approve.
DIY Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that can make your skin look younger and reduce wrinkles or shrink pores. It’s done by creating small punctures in the skin using tiny needles, which means that doing this at home is a very bad idea. This procedure should be done by a professional in order to avoid infection or skin irritation.
Sunscreen Contouring
This is one of the latest beauty trends that’s been blowing up on TikTok and that most professionals agree can be very dangerous. This trend involves applying sunscreen on areas of your face where you would put highlighter on and spending some time on the sun in order to achieve a natural contoured look. Dermatologists, on the other hand, say that this trend is very dangerous and can lead to skin damage.
Applying Toothpaste On Pimples
This is a well-known hack that we’ve all tried at least once hoping that toothpaste could help us get rid of pimples. The truth is that this home remedy may help dry up a pimple but it can cause skin irritation too, so it’s best to avoid it.
