TikTok is one of the most used social networks today. Although most of the content is a lot of fun and we entertain ourselves with it, it is important to be careful with some tricks that have gone viral and endanger our health. This week a beauty tip that can cause skin damage has become a trend on TikTok .
The first to try this trick was user Sean Anthony, a beauty content creator. It basically consists of mixing the makeup base with lubricant to, supposedly, give the skin a flawless appearance . Although at first it seems a good idea because the skin is very beautiful and with a uniform tone, problems do not take long to appear.

Dr Victor Wong, Medical Director of Laser Clinics UK explains to local media that applying lubricating foundation can dehydrate the skin, leaving it more prone to inflammation and dryness . The lubricant is a product that in any case is recommended to be used topically as it can cause long-term damage.
However, for some strange reason, this beauty hack has gone viral on TikTok, to the point that the hashtag #lubeprimer has more than 7.7 million views .
The dangerous fashion of filing your teeth
This isn’t the only beauty-related craze to come up on TikTok . A few months ago the fashion of filing your teeth using a common nail file went viral to equalize the incisors or make the profile more regular.
Dentists indicate that the main risk of this practice is to go beyond the enamel, affecting the innermost layers of the teeth . This can cause serious problems, such as increased sensitivity.
In addition, it must be taken into account that enamel protects the structures of the teeth , so filing them entails shortening their life.
