How to Ruin Your Skin: TikTok’s WORST Acne Skincare Advice

Period Blood Face Masks & Other TikTok Skincare Fails 🙃

TikTok has blessed us with dance trends, recipes, and… skincare hacks that will make your dermatologist cry.

In our latest YouTube video, I’m breaking down some of the most unhinged TikTok skincare “advice” I’ve seen (and trust me, some of it is truly next-level). From DIY face masks to things that belong anywhere but on your face, you’re going to want to sit down for this one.

Here’s a little sneak peek of what we cover:

  • The viral “treatment” with 6.4 billion views that could actually leave you with an infection.
  • Why your spice cabinet has no business doubling as your skincare shelf.
  • The trendy at-home tool that can cause way more damage than glow.
  • And yes… we’re talking about the people recommending pee as toner. (Nope. Just nope.)

The internet is full of quick fixes, but when it comes to your skin, not all hacks are created equal. Sometimes, they’re just straight up dangerous.

Let's finally get you back to clear, glowing skin.

Acne goes deeper than just the surface—it's a sign of internal imbalances. That’s why prescriptions, medicated creams, and high-end facials don’t deliver lasting results. True skin clarity comes from an inside-out approach, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!

I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"Nine months ago I signed up for CSS since my wedding was coming up.

I'm here to tell you that hard work and dedication to your future self WORKS! All I wanted on my wedding day was for clear skin. And when I woke up on my wedding day in August, I can truly say that my skin never looked better."

"My skin.

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."

 I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
