TikTok beauty tips that really work

When it comes to tips and beauty hacks, TikTok is an asset you can rely on. After all, even the make-up and hairstyles we see on the catwalks now draw inspiration from the street style and cultural microcosms that populate social networks.

The creators of TikTok, a platform loved above all by generation Z who dares to experiment, often offers DIY tips that work. This is the time of aloe vera mask to take care of the hair. The formula involves taking directly an aloe leaf, a plant known for its soothing and moisturizing properties, and using the beneficial gel that is inside.

Applied on the scalp it has a detoxifying action and soothes the skin while on the lengths it moisturizes and improves its texture. @theaussirapunzel, who as her username says has Rapunzel hair, recommends doing two shampoos after keeping the mask on for 30 minutes / hour to remove the gel well.

SKIN ICING
The Skin icing trend is very popular on TikTok. Beauty creators rub ice cubes on their skin, or keep tools such as gua sha and jade roller in the freezer to deflate and make the complexion glow. And also stars like Victoria Beckham and Irina Shayk (her ally is Nicole Caroline Luxury Ice Facial Set) believe in it very much. The cold works by causing blood vessels to constrict and thus reducing redness, swelling and improving the appearance of blemishes. The pores are meso visible and the skin glows just like after a winter walk.

Many beauty brands have embraced this trend by offering less rudimentary tools than ice cubes. For example, Freshness Ice Globe, two glass spheres with liquid inside to keep in the fridge ready to use. They work best when combined with serums and moisturizers.

CINNAMON OIL AS LIP PLUMPER
While the lip plumper that make the lips more voluminous like Lip Injection Extreme of Too Faced are already viral, it seems that TikTok recently found a more natural (and affordable) trick to achieve the same result: with thecinnamon oil. As noted by Dazed, many creators have turned to the app to show how to mix cinnamon oil with their favorite lip glosses for plumper lips. What to know about this practice? The effect is temporary and due to the irritation of the mucosa caused by cinnamon similar to that of menthol and capseicin, ingredients also contained in volumizing lip glosses. So, trying doesn’t hurt.

THE FACE MASK
To make a DIY face mask, the most powerful ingredients to take in the pantry are: turmeric, milk and honey. Turmeric is known to brighten the skin, lactic acid has gentle exfoliating properties, while honey is known to have natural antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that make it great for treating various skin types.

HOW TO APPLY BLUSH

If the contouring carried out with bronzer and highlighter redraws the contours of the face, the tiktoker @meganlavallie will show you that even with the blush you get surprising effects. In her video that went viral, Megan starts on the one hand with a bonne mine look by applying the liquid blush directly on the cheeks, while on the other hand it creates a lifting effect by placing the blush on the upper part of the cheekbones in the same place where the highlighter is usually applied.

To replicate the contouring effect, she applies the blush under the cheekbones, while to make the face appear fuller, she applies it just above the jawline. Finally, draw five dots with the same blush on the top of the cheeks and bridge of the nose, for a sun-kissed look.

THE BEAUTY HACK BY TIKTOK NOT TO COPY

Skincare slugging – A Korean beauty trend that although not as glamorous as other trends such as skinimalism or glass skin, is attracting attention because it promises to brighten the complexion. Slugging isn’t new, but TikTok has made it go viral. It consists in applying a thick layer of Vaseline on the face as the final step of the beauty routine. The idea is to create a barrier that prevents loss of hydration. Those who have tried it claim that it works and that it leaves the skin brighter and plump effect. This method has many cons because petroleum jelly clogs the pores and therefore could cause the onset of blackheads and pimples. The hyaluronic acid, ceramides and nicinamide contained in serums and creams work best and do not have the side effects of petroleum jelly.
