Teenage girls use about 6 different products every day
TikTok beauty tips can be harmful to the skin of children and teenagers.
According to recent research and expert warnings, TikTok beauty tips can pose the following risks;
- Using more than one active ingredient
Teenagers use about 6 different products a day. Sometimes more than 12, which contain harmful ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinoids. These ingredients can cause problems like skin irritation, dryness, inflammation, and allergies. - Lack of products that protect against solar radiation
Only 26% of beauty routines include sunscreen, while many products increase sun sensitivity, which increases the risk of medical harm, such as skin cancer and spots. - Emotional and mental effects
Regular exposure to lighter, “brighter” or anti-aging beauty products is reducing self-confidence among young people. - Dangerous hacks
Ingredients like lemon juice, homemade sunscreen, toothpaste, baking soda, homemade microneedling, and essential oils are dangerous experiments without medical knowledge and can all damage the skin’s protective layer.
