benefits<\/span>," she added.<\/p>\n\u201cApplying only to certain parts of your face purely for aesthetic is dangerous and can lead to injuries including sunburn, which can damage your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dr Ross agreed entirely, writing that the trend is "beyond dangerous and should not be encouraged."<\/p>\n
"No tan is a safe tan," he said. "Unfortunately the facts are that everyone is at risk of skin cancer and this risk increases with age.<\/p>\n
"A tan is a response to DNA damage, whether you get it on the beach, on a sunbed, or through incidental exposure. <\/p>\n
"Tans are caused by harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, and if you have one, you\u2019ve sustained skin cell damage. Such damage is instrumental in the development of skin cancer."<\/p>\n
Haters will say it doesn't work but I'm convinced if you put SPF 30 on and then SPF 90 on all the spots where you would put highlighter on the sun will contour your face.<\/p>\n
When applied properly, suncream has been shown to reduce the risk of developing melanoma – an aggressive form of skin cancer – by more than 50%. <\/p>\n
Anyone can get skin cancer and melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in the UK.<\/p>\n
There are more than 16,000 cases a year and approximately 2,300 deaths. <\/p>\n
Cancer Research UK added: "Most skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. <\/p>\n
"This may be long term exposure, or short periods of intense sun exposure and burning. The ultraviolet light in sunlight damages the\u00a0DNA\u00a0in the skin cells. This damage can happen years before a cancer develops."<\/p>\n
Hayley points out that which a wide variety of bronzers on the market, you\u2019re spoilt for choice when it comes to achieving a snatched look without risking your skin\u2019s health.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her top pick is the Make-up Revolution Fast Base Contour Stick (\u00a35.95), which has a bronzer on one end and highlighter on the other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The stick \u201cglides effortlessly on and blends seamlessly, effectively lifting, defining, and sculpting your complexion\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe contour is also cruelty-free and vegan friendly,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
TEETH FILING <\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Cosmetic dentists have long offered teeth filing to help reshape a wonky smile and create a straighter bite. <\/p>\n
But given it can cost up to \u00a3100 to have one tooth treated, some TikTokers have worryingly started to try and carry out the procedure themselves – using nail files you can buy for 50p.<\/p>\n
Youngsters use nail files to even out the ridges on their teeth, sharing the results on their accounts. <\/p>\n
One person who did it even admitted he felt "uncomfortable" as he evened out his canine teeth. <\/p>\n
"I just found out I have a shoot on Monday and I have these stupid vampire fangs on my teeth, I have no clue where to start", he said in a video which garnered 15.4m views. <\/p>\n
And other people were concerned too with one man writing "Bro, you really shouldn't be doing that." <\/p>\n
Another said: "Bro guys everyone has 'vampire teeth' there [sic] called canines."<\/p>\n
I just found out I have a shoot on Monday and I have these stupid vampire fangs on my teeth.<\/p>\n
Their views were echoed by dentists.<\/p>\n
Dr. Zainab Mackie said: "When you file your nails they grow back, when you file your teeth they don't grow back and that's a problem… especially if you take too much off."<\/p>\n
And Dr Ross agreed. He said: "This is one of the worst TikTok trends and should absolutely not be attempted to do at home.<\/p>\n
"This is completely unsafe and can cause long-term damage to your own teeth in terms of shape and taking off the enamel. <\/p>\n
"If you take off the enamel which helps to protect the dentine and nerve of the tooth and protects against decay, you can end up with sensitivity, irritation and nerve inflammation. <\/p>\n
"This could result in a very expensive trip to the dentist for reconstruction and long term damage to your own teeth."<\/p>\n
SELF-ADMINISTERED LIP FILLER<\/h2>\n \n <\/p>\n
Lip filler can be a great way to enhance the natural shape and fullness of your lips, but it of course should always be administered by a certified aethestician. <\/p>\n
But in an attempt to circumvent the costs, some TikTokers have taken to buying the filler online and injecting it into their own lips. <\/p>\n
One use who did it said there was "blood all over" after she did it. <\/p>\n
She was warned against it, with a concerned viewer commenting: "It's all going to migrate under your nose."<\/p>\n
Another said: "With bare hands. That's so smart, idk [I don't know] why the professionals don't do that."<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, Dr Ross says this is an absolute no-no, telling people to "never attempt to inject your own lips with filler, or allow anyone to inject you that isn't medically qualified". <\/p>\n
It's all going to migrate under your nose.<\/p>\n
"It is extremely dangerous if you don\u2019t have an understanding of the anatomy of the facial muscles, nerves and blood vessels.<\/p>\n
"The risks involved are endless. <\/p>\n
"Lesser-known risks are lumpy uneven lips, through to the most severe being facial paralysis, blindness which can be causes if you inject into an artery that is connected to deep vessels leading to the back of the eye and tissue necrosis. <\/p>\n
"This is self-mutilation at it\u2019s worse and the corrective work that would need to be done in even lesser cases could cost you thousands of pounds in the long run."<\/p>\n
DIY COFFEE SCRUBS\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Penny-pinching TikTokers have suggested that instead of splashing out on an exfoliator, you can craft your own using coffee granules to get the necessary gritty effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But without specialist input, the mixture can easily \u201cbe too aggressive on your skin,\u201d Hayley advises.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might not help you achieve a smooth, clear complexion, and may actually cause your skin to become irritated and even damaged.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There really is no benefit to using this whatsoever, and as there are a number of products containing coffee on the shelves, you\u2019re better off buying something which has been dermatologically tested and proven.<\/p>\n
While this is nowhere near as dangerous as injecting lip filler or filing down your own teeth, according to Dr Ross, the issue is that coffee grounds "aren\u2019t smooth and therefore they can cause the skin to tear as you rub the coffee over the skin which can lead to infections, scarring and bleeding."<\/p>\n
"There really is no benefit to using this whatsoever, and as there are a number of products containing coffee on the shelves, you\u2019re better off buying something which has been dermatologically tested and proven."<\/p>\n
Instead, the cosmetics guru suggests that a scrub like the Kaeso Rebalancing Exfoliator (\u00a39.10) can \u201cbuff away impurities and dead skin cells' ' without being too abrasive and risking damaging the skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
These products will \u201chelp boost the circulation on your face, leaving you looking fresh-faced and radiant\u201d \u2013 but without the dreaded redness that can come from scratchy coffee granules.\u00a0<\/p>\n
SLUGGING\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Slugging \u2013 essentially covering your face in a layer of a jelly-like substance like vaseline \u2013 is currently TikTok\u2019s most pervasive trend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It's meant to improve the hydration of your skin by infusing it with lots of liquid, while the jelly forms a barrier that supposedly keeps spot-breeding dirt and bacteria out. <\/p>\n
It's called slugging "because of the sheen like greasy appearance it leaves on the skin", Dr Ross explains.<\/p>\n
The method can "actually trap oil within the skin and clog the pores resulting in acne breakouts, so it isn\u2019t right for everyone". <\/p>\n
Hayley agrees it \u201ccan be a nightmare for those with oily, sensitive, and acne-prone skin\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ingredients contained in petroleum jelly could trigger a breakout and upset the skin\u2019s balance, potentially leaving your skin worse off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her simple tip is to try a moisturiser to achieve that glazed-donut look without causing a breakout \u2013 CosRxAdvanced Snail92 All in One Moisturising Cream (\u00a316.90) offer a different formula depending on skin types.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The potion contains 92% snail mucin \u2013 essentially slime \u2013 which sounds gross, but works to \u201crefresh, hydrate and plump the skin without oiliness, helping you accomplish that sought-after glowy complexion\u201d, Hayley explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The slime \u201cincreases skin elasticity whilst soothing inflamed, sensitive skin following breakouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s also cruelty-free and free from parabens, sulphates, phthalates and alcohol, which all can impact the skin\u2019s natural balance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
DIY LIP PLUMPERS<\/strong><\/h2>\n \n <\/p>\n
This TikTok trend is among the most bizarre on the app, with users rubbing their lips with things like chilli and cinnamon to cause them to swell temporarily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It rings \u201cimmediate alarm bells\u201d, Hayley warns, and could \u201ccould lead to irritation and swelling to the lips\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLips don\u2019t contain any oil<\/span> glands, meaning they\u2019re thinner and more sensitive than other parts of skin on your body.\u00a0<\/p>\nOne woman who did it showed off clearly sore lips afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis factor means the likes of chillies will trigger the lips as they can damage the skin\u2019s barrier and make them chapped.\u201d<\/p>\n
You\u2019re much better off opting for a serum that nourishes your lips while giving them a plump \u2013 particularly one like Make-up Revolution Rehab Plump Me Up Lip Serum (\u00a35.10), which is enriched with Hibiscus Esculentus Extract.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ingredient \u201cstimulate skin cell turnover and inhibit muscle cell contraction, giving a Botox-like effect, for plumper lips\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Fabulous approached TikTok for comment, they pointed to their Community Guidelines, which disallow content showing or promoting dangerous activities, or that which could harm people's health, from being shared on the app. <\/p>\n
