United States. – Skincare trends that can be seen on TikTok can be unsafe and unbeneficial.
For this reason, experts from the Cleveland Clinic in the United States warn against believing everything you see on social networks, especially when it comes to health issues.
For example, some TikTokers suggest doing a double cleanse, which involves washing your face twice, first with an oil-based product and then again with a water-based cleanser. While this can be helpful for people with very oily skin, for most skin types, this trend does more harm than good, according to dermatologist Jane Wu.
Some influencers claim that refrigerating skincare products is beneficial for the skin. However, dermatologist Melissa Piliang says the benefit of such a skincare technique is close to nil.
On the other hand, TikTokers use face tape to try to smooth out wrinkles and give it a more elevated appearance around the eyes and cheeks. But the skin is soft and supple, so even if wrinkles level out for a moment, they’ll reappear pretty quickly, said plastic surgeon Martin Newman.
