The DIY treatment has gone viral, but it can cause severe irritation, burns and allergic reactions
A beauty expert has issued a warning that a popular TikTok skincare trend could actually cause scarring and other adverse reactions. On TikTok, videos of influencers applying raw garlic to acne spots have proliferated rapidly, outstripping even food-related content.
Speaking on the matter, she advises caution with online beauty fads, especially among younger users: "As viral beauty hacks continue to dominate social media, I urge people, especially young people, that when it comes to your skin, it's best to leave treatments to the experts." "It's important to remember that every skin type is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Always prioritise safety and consult professionals before trying new skincare trends."
