TikTok: 5 (more or less) absurd beauty trends that have depopulated on the platform

Scrolling through the videos on TikTok you will certainly have come across trends that range from ingenious to absurd even in the beauty field. The usual makeup or skincare tutorials alternate with beauty tips as to say … unusual.

Here are 5 extravagant beauty tips that I probably wouldn’t recommend to my best friend.

BEND WITH THE RADIATOR

Use the straightener to get the crease? It has become an outdated and boomer practice it seems. For soft curls just take small strands and wrap them around the radiator as if it were a cone plate. To work seems to work but … we recommend a very powerful thermal protector and we must pray to be liked by Karma to avoid the flambé effect on the hair or skin. The game is not worth the candle and can burn you more than the candle itself. Better the boomer straightener to avoid irreversible damage and insults from your trusted hairdresser.

RICE WATER FOR HAIR GROWTH

You want to make your hair grow faster and have you decided to make some rice today? Combine business with pleasure: don’t throw away the water, rather apply it on your hair to become a modern Rapunzel. The trend is depopulated around the world thanks to TikTok but in Japan it is an old grandmother’s remedy. Even with this trend there is a risk: being looked at badly by family members or roommates who have lunch with you and see you busy bottling starch.

CONTOURING WITH SUN CREAM

If you haven’t damaged your hair enough with the radiator, there is a trend from TikTok that also recommends how to brown your skin by not protecting it properly from the sun’s rays. For a permanent contouring just apply the sunscreen in the areas where you usually spread the concealer or the highlighter and do not put it on the parts where you apply the earth or dark foundation. Thus, the makeup effect of hollowing out and chiaroscuro is obtained with a tan instead. The idea is certainly ingenious, it is a pity that it does not take into account the damage that this practice can cause to the skin: sunburn, sun spots and so on and so forth.

Spread the sunscreen everywhere (even in winter) and opt for the classic and less risky contouring with tricks!

DARK CIRCLES ARE COOL

Yes, being tired 24/7 has finally become a trend (which I have modestly followed for years and I hope this makes me a beauty guru). Covering purple circles under the eyes with concealer is mainstream, TikTok’s word. Show off those dark circles from hours of sleep lost behind the exam session, smartworking and TV series like a gold medal … indeed, accentuate them with makeup!

FACIAL WITH SNAILS

Among the most unusual facial treatments seen on the platform I would say that the one with live snails definitely wins the podium. The snail slime and the secretion that the animal releases while crawling away have been used for some time in the beauty field but … taking the snails from your garden directly and placing them on the face is another matter. Thanks for the advice TikTok but… also no!
