Makeup influencers on TikTok have started a new trend, using personal lubricant as a primer. Yes, you read correctly, lube!
Several makeup artists have since come forward claiming that lube as primer is the best thing to have been discovered. However, dermatologists are warning people that it’s not a good idea.
Dr. Robert Finney, a registered dermatologist said lube isn’t designed to be used on the face in that way.
“There are plenty of good primer options designed specifically with your face in mind,” he says. “The Durex Play 2-in-1 lube has castor oil in it. Castor oil can clog pores and lead to breakouts,” he explains.
“While not everyone is breakout-prone and may tolerate this just fine, I still wouldn’t recommend it,” he advises.
TikTok influencers are constantly sharing cheap and neat tips and tricks for people to recreate stunning looks at home. While some laughed at the idea, many thought it was sheer genius.
Skincare specialist Hyram Yarbro shared his thoughts in a TikTok video, “First I was thinking about the ingredients, like are they going to destroy your skin? I mean if it’s save to use where the sun doesn’t shine then the ingredients probably aren’t too shabby.”
