Top 5 skin care tips from TikTok

TikTok is a social platform where people of all ages can post their recipes, skincare routines, helpful tricks, skits, and more.

When talking about skin, it's good to know that this topic should be approached with the utmost caution because skin is an extremely personal matter, so listening to online advice is not always the smartest thing.

But you don't have to worry when it comes to these five tips we dug up in the wilderness of TikTok – they're truly fantastic!

1) Using retinol on the neck and chest

In addition to being applied to the face, retinol can be applied alone to the neck and décolletage. By applying retinol to the neck, you solve the problem of lines and wrinkles. Which are created due to aging or excessive looking at a laptop, mobile phone, etc. (the so-called tech neck).

And by using it on the neckline, you get rid of lines from sleeping or wearing a bra.

2) Applying your facial routine - on your hands

The skin on your hands is thin, and if it's dry or lacks tone, applying your skincare routine to your hands (especially SPF protection!) will protect them from blemishes and premature signs of aging. No one will be able to tell your age by your hands anymore!

3) Check the order in which to apply products to your face

Place a small amount of each product you use in your night or morning routine on a clean surface, such as a mirror or board, in the order you would apply them to your skin.

Then tilt your chosen surface and observe how the products react, i.e. which product leaks the fastest and which one leaks the slowest. Apply the products that leak the fastest before the others!

4) Relax your face using a facial roller or gua sha stone

This is an ideal tip for those who want to tighten facial skin or reduce puffiness and redness. The facial roller and gua sha stone help with the first signs of aging and awaken the facial skin.

Massage techniques using these tools can easily be found in videos on YouTube or, of course, TikTok.

5) Remember how to use SPF protection properly

Many TikTok creators are reminding us how to properly apply SPF; you should reapply SPF every two hours, especially if you're exposed to the sun. SPF is meant to be applied year-round—yes, even when it's raining.

Finally, the amount of product that fits on two fingers is enough for the entire face, and another two fingers of product are needed for the ears and neck.
