Skin Care on TikTok: Trend or Danger for Your Skin?

Social media, especially TikTok, have become a primary source of beauty information. Skin care on TikTok is popular, with videos suggesting products and tips. However, is blindly following these tips without further knowledge safe?

TikTok users often promote products, either independently or in collaboration with brands. The simplicity of the videos makes them attractive, but the information may not be thorough. Many users develop an excessive preoccupation with their skin and buy products without considering their skin's needs.

The risks include:

• Incorrect advice without a scientific basis.
• Irritations or allergies from unsuitable products.
• Excessive use of active ingredients without medical guidance.
• Psychological pressure from the promotion of “perfect skin”.

Dermatologists warn that blindly trusting viral tips can harm the skin.

Recommendations:

• Follow certified experts.
• Read product labels.
• Start with a basic skincare routine.
• Consult a dermatologist before trying new ingredients.
