A Doctor's Opinions On TikTok Skincare Products

TikTok over quarantine has been very helpful when it comes to ideas of stuff to do or clothes to wear. However know there is a large community putting out skincare routines and products to use. I decided to research doctors opinions and one doctor covered four different products and routines that are either not worth it or not good for your skin.

1. DIY Coffee Scrub Masks

Dr. Shah says that Coffee Scrubs are very damaging to the skin because they can cause micro tears across your skin. This is because when you make coffee scrubs from your own house you aren't able to remove certain chemicals like professionals can. Due to that he says DIY masks are bad that doesn't mean the coffee scrub from Lush is bad. The coffee mask from Lush is a better product to use instead because it has all the bad chemicals removed and it's solely the products you need to be used on your face.

2. Jade Rollers

Dr. Shah says that they do nothing for you at all, even though it has been claimed by TikTokers it can be false. These are supposedly don't work even though that are not harmful, they still don't work very well. I personally have used one before and it broke after one push up and my skin felt like it was getting suck when being rolled. Because the rollers aren't very big it doesn't create the circulation that you as a buyer would hope, which creates the false hope by this product.

3. CBD Oil

"Over promising" is the word Dr. Shah and many others have used to describe CBD Oil. Due to the fact that this is a newer product there is little to no research about how to use it on your face and when to use it. Dr. Shah claims that because it is newer the producers are over selling it to more people will buy it to create a bigger following. It also is supposedly to be very damaging the pore and your skin in general. So for now don't use it.

4. DIY Ginger Pore Masks

Just like the DIY Coffee Scrub Masks, this is just as damaging because you are putting a raw substance on your face. Just like the coffee scrub by not taking out certain chemicals it is causing the bad chemicals to create small tears in your skin, which will make your skin worse in the future. Say you by something that has a tad bit of ginger that it okay, but using raw ginger as a pore mask will be very harmful in the end to your skin.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
