    James, thank you for mentioning the at home tattoo freckles mishap. I’m a licensed tattoo artist and I believe not enough people are talking enough online about the dangers of at home tattoos/cheap tattoo supplies and equipment. It’s a serious matter that if mishandled can result in various life threatening infections or hepatitis, HIV, MRSA, allergic reactions.. etc. It’s not a light issue to ignore.

I will state this MSRA is not something anyone wants to have it’s scary as hell and to see the inside of any part of your body part's will leave you feeling ill and fighting for your life so these folk’s unless they want to end up in the ER and having a doctor give them heavy anti biotics while trying to save whatever body part they foolishly affected will leave them scratching their own heads saying damn this wasn’t worth it..

      It doesn't help that Amazon doesn't sort their products by which seller is selling them. They just throw everything labeled as the same thing in the same bin from all sellers. So even if it's a reputable brand, it could be a knock off (which is the case for almost all skincare on Amazon).

      Diluted hydrogen peroxide is perfectly fine for enamel - it's the same ph as saliva and non abrasive. The problem is that it can cause gum recession through irritation. And it may alter the flora of the mouth for the worse since it kills all bacteria and not just plaque.

    This wasn’t a hack just a REALLY STUPID thing I did when I was 15. I’m 55 now, not that it matters. I have no idea why I thought it would be a good idea! I decided to mix ALL the facial products we had at home. Some were pore tightening, some cleansers, some acne, toners, etc…
    I put on my face for about 3mins before I had to wash off quickly. For the next hour my face got redder and redder. Ended up in ER and diagnosed with a chemical burn. Turned out to be a second degree burn, skin peeled off after 2 days in hospital. To this day I am super careful about mixing even the smallest amount of products.

    So on the hydrogen peroxide thing. I have used hydrogen peroxide as a rinse many times. Not for teeth whitening but because I’m very prone to canker sores. HOWEVER, I’m using it only when I have sores and I’m DILUTING it 1 part peroxide to 2 parts warm water. Twice daily rinses help keep the sores from getting infected and therefore they tend to heal faster, but full strength basically destroys your gums and other mouth tissues even as a rinse. You aren’t going to manage to use it long enough to bleach your teeth without turning your whole mouth into one giant irritated mess.

    I recognize that this is unkind, but I marvel at the stupidity of some of these behaviors. The freckle tattoo story, for example: I understand that she recognizes her foolishness in retrospect, but what possessed her to do it in the first place? “Anything for views”? The strategic sunscreen placement is another head-scratcher for me. What exactly made these people think that (1) this would work, or (2) this was safe for their skin? I don’t understand why anyone with functioning neurons would think that a Tik Tok trend (a site not known for establishing the qualifications of its contributors) is a reasonable source of body-altering advice.

      Personally, I don't think it's for clout or views like a lot of people do -- I think seeing other people do the same thing makes it seem safe. I did the same when I realized people were cutting their own hair during lockdown -- I'd never even thought of it as something I could do before, but suddenly it was accessible. Obviously much safer than trying to tattoo freckles... but also being convinced you're too smart to be manipulated makes you more likely to be manipulated, so I tend to assume that the right words could convince me of anything

      Well in regards to the sunscreen one, these are people that probably don’t even wear sunscreen to begin with.
      I’m not sure how it is in other parts of the world but tanning culture is HUGE in my part of the US. Growing up, I never wanted to tan because I liked my skin and was made aware of the dangers of uv exposure at a young age. I was made fun of a TON for it and my friends always tried to convince me that my skin would go from red to tan if I just laid out there longer and didn’t wear sunscreen.
      But the amount of people that will go lay in the sun intentionally without sunscreen (or in a tanning bed for that matter) for hours is shocking.

      When I was 21 I was able to tan without a problem and didn't really burn, I had gone my entire life only wearing sunscreen at the beach and had no idea of just how unsafe not wearing it was. At the time I really did make the "tan contouring" work, I did it for like 10 minutes at a time so the results wouldn't be so extreme. Regret it so much now.

    So I know I haven't finished the video, but the scalp popping thing I physically cannot deal with. I've watched videos of literal surgery with no issue. But I accidentally stumbled upon one of those videos of the popping and I immediately felt nauseated. I don't know how anyone can do that to themselves and not freak out. And now that I'm hearing it's a cultural thing that parents did to their kids I have never been so happy to have the parents that I have lol.

    Freckles are a sign of sun damage! I’ve grown to love mine but I almost panic when I get new freckles because I feel like I’m in the sun too much when they pop up. I’m also checking to make sure some of them aren’t an unusual color since I’m at an increased risk for melanoma.

    I really can’t overstate how stupid I used to be when I was younger- I bleached and ironed my hair, I pierced my own belly button once (no it did not work, don’t ever try that!) but somehow when I thought of the idea of using sunscreen to create highlight and shadows (I was an art-girl so it made sense even a couple decades before contouring was a thing) that seemed too reckless even for me 🫢
    I have tried the laminating kits and here’s the thing- it’s extremely hard to do anything like that to *your own* eyelashes. For it to have a hope of working your eyes need to be closed throughout, but to see what you’re doing you have to keep opening your eyes. Even if you know you have a kit that’s safe it’s just such a hassle and so unlikely to work, it’s not worth trying, honestly.

Some Utah dentist I googled said “you should only use it a few times a month” and “Consider switching to saltwater rinses” for the same benefits without the negative side effects.

    god i’m sometimes so glad i’m into alternative fashion when it comes to bs about suncream. if i’m going out and there’s a sunburn risk (aka summer), im coating myself to factor 50 in a desperate bid to keep my violently pale skin violently pale and to not burn (….if i go outside at all, which is rare). why? cos with my general skin tone variance, paler = looking more dead (like vampire dead, not zombie dead), which is my aim with it. just clarifying because i do not want to come across like i’m saying darker skin tones can’t be goth or emo or alternative (poc absolutely can and absolutely can look it too, you don’t need ti look like a sheet of paper), it’s just with MY skin (running very much on the paler side), i prefer the paler look and like wearing stuff that washes me out even more. i don’t want to look “glowy” - i wanna look pasty, and not tanning helps me do this.
    it also means that whilst my sunburn risk is naturally higher (pale as fuck = more likely to get burnt) i have a very very very low rate of sunburns (because fuck going outside). but even with my like…2 or 3 sunburns, i’m at increased risk of skin cancer as i get older. the more sunburns you have the worse it is, and you’re more likely to get sunburns if you’re not covered in suncream you’ve applied properly and using the appropriate SPF

      Nobody said it didn’t work, just that it also causes harm to your teeth. Baking soda is actually worse than hydrogen peroxide, because it can scrub off your enamel over time. People do use 1,5% hydrogen peroxide as mouth wash, so that may not be as bad as baking soda.

I know it's terrible for the enamel but idk most people want white teeth at any cost and then once they've ruined them they get veneers or eventually false teeth. Kinda sucks that there's so much pressure around having white teeth. You can be great to your teeth and just naturally be yellow. Yellow teeth is related to dirty or bad tooth care even though that's not true.

    Aaah and the hydrogen peroxide makes me so anxious as someone who has two front fake teeth (Knocked out my adult teeth) I see absoloutely no warning for people who have fake teeth to NOT do this (I know you shouldn't do this in the first place but yeah) as it can quite literally disolve fake teeth not sure if thats 100% true but my mum will no let me use any teeth whitening stuff because of that like omg 😭 why can't people just leave stuff to the professionals

    Well yes James, I tried the at home eye brow lift, not because of tik tok (I do not really look at this type of tik toks) but because of YOU, my skincare favorite Person! 😅😅
    Do not worry, no major damage done, but I stopped after 2-3 times because indeed my hair was very stiff and I did loose a few … it grew back though!
    How’s that for a progression?! 😂😂😂

    The scalp popping thing is actually quite dangerous, it can cause damaging separation of your scalp from your skull.

    I laminate my eyebrows every 6 weeks, I apply Vaseline to protect the skin around them. I do one side at a time, and make sure to set an alarm between each step one minute less than what is indicated in the instructions manual.

    Freckles look beautiful on people with nice skin. I have freckles but they are surrounded by acne scars, hyperpigmentation and redness. That is the reason I dont like mine, it just adds to the mess I have on my face.
