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.

"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!"

"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!!
