How is TikTok Influencing Our Skincare Routine?
With over two billion active users, TikTok is one of the most popular social media platforms. And with that comes a whole slew of new skincare trends that are being pioneered on the app. So how is TikTok influencing our skincare routine?
Here are four ways:
1)We’re Less Likely To Stick To A Pre-Formulated Routine
One reason why TikTok is so popular is that it’s a platform that encourages experimentation. So if we like to try new things, TikTok is a great place to start our skincare routine. One study found that people who use TikTok more frequently are less likely to stick to a pre-formulated skincare routine. Instead, they’re more likely to try out different products and formulations to see what works best for them. This can be helpful if we want to develop a personalized skincare routine that works specifically for us.
2) We’re More Likely To Use Skincare Brands That We Already Know
Another reason why using products on TikTok can be helpful is that it exposes us to new brands and products that we might not have otherwise come across.
Skin Irritation from TikTok
If we’re anything like us, we probably spend a good chunk of our day glued to our phones. And whether we’re using TikTok to make hilarious videos with our friends or just trying to get some work done, there’s a good chance that we’ve been putting our skin in pretty uncomfortable situations. From harsh lighting to constant movement, the app can cause skin irritation.
Here are ways to protect ourselves from skin irritation when using TikTok:
1) Use an anti-inflammatory cream before applying hydro facials or any face product. This will help reduce the inflammation that often accompanies skin irritation caused by devices like TikTok.
2) Invest in a good quality screen protector. Screen protectors will help protect our phone screen from scratches and other damage, which will less likely lead to skin irritation.
3) Keep our device at arm’s length when filming. Improper use of the camera can lead to more wrinkles and lines on our skin due to the amount of light and pressure that’s being put on it.
4) Avoid using flash when taking videos. Flash photography can be incredibly damaging to the skin, especially if we’re prone to skin irritation.
Side Effects of Topical Products
TikTok is a powerful social media platform millions of people use to connect with friends and family. But what about the effects of using TikTok on our skincare routine?
One study found that people who use TikTok are more likely to skip skincare products, instead relying on the app to cleanse and moisturize their skin. Participants reported using the app instead of products for skin care.
While this might seem like a harmless trend, it’s essential to be mindful of the side effects of topical products when using TikTok. For example, some popular apps like TikTok Studio and B612 offer beauty tips and tutorials that can lead us down a dangerous path.
Suppose we want to keep our skin healthy and free from damage. In that case, we must stick to proven skincare products. If we’re worried about how using TikTok affects our skin, talk to our dermatologist about our options and even have regular hydra facials to protect our skin.
Exogenous Retinoids and Their Role in a Skincare Routine
A daily skincare routine is essential for keeping skin looking healthy and radiant. However, what if we can’t or don’t want to use traditional skincare products? That’s where exogenous retinoids come in. Exogenous retinoids are synthetic derivatives of vitamin A that work to improve the appearance of our skin by reversing the signs of aging.
There are a few reasons why exogenous retinoids may be a good choice for our skincare routine:
They help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines and improve skin texture.
Exogenous retinoids can also help improve the appearance of acne scars and blemishes.
Exogenous retinoids can help restore a more youthful look to our skin.
However, like with any supplement or therapy, some things to remember when using exogenous retinoids in our skincare routine. First, be sure to consult with our dermatologist before starting treatment. Second, always use sunscreen when using exogenous retinoids because they can cause sun sensitivity. And finally, be sure to follow the directions specified by our supplier or therapist because dosage and duration can
Conclusion
It seems like everyone is using TikTok nowadays. From makeup tutorials to skincare reviews, a ton of content is created and shared on the app. But what does this mean for our skincare routine? In short, it means that we need to be careful when selecting which videos to watch and how long we should spend watching them. The sun exposure that comes with filming and taking photos in bright light can cause skin damage, so it’s essential to use sunscreen while using TikTok. And finally, don’t forget about hydration. Keeping our skin well-hydrated will help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and keep our skin looking healthy.
