TikTok’s morning shed skincare routine and benefits explained – and why Kayla Lee Mills has millions of video views
Date: 2024-10-21TIKTOK’S latest viral skincare craze has been about taking the layers off rather than adding more steps to people’s regimes.
Morning shed has captured the internet’s attention and given influencers like Kayla Lee Mills millions of views on their TikTok video.
What is the TikTok morning shed trend?
Morning shed is when people apply several treatments and products to their faces before bed and remove them all in the morning.
These routines include more than just typical skincare products like moisturizers and serums.
The morning shed trend uses chin straps, mouth tape, and hair coverings, which make someone nearly unrecognizable before bed.
Therefore, the removal of these items has become known as the morning shed.
How can I participate in the TikTok morning shed trend?
The idea of this routine is to wake up looking refreshed and younger.
This has included face tapping where people use kinesiology tape on their foreheads or around their eyes to prevent wrinkles.
Other products used have been silk bonnets, to reduce hair frizz, and jaw straps to tighten the skin in that area.
Morning shed health benefits
Mouth taping has been the most common morning shed practice.
This is when people use a piece of body tape to shut their lips, encouraging them to breathe through their nose rather than their mouth.
Dermatologist Dr. Nava Greenfield told well+good that the trend did not have scientific backing and could potentially be dangerous.
“Not only is the theory behind its effectiveness is not compelling, but there’s also a lack of data to support its use, and the trend may even be harmful,” the dermatologist said.
Dr. Greenfield also explained how the viral process of mouth-taping could cause sleep issues.
“Taping one’s mouth closed at night prevents normal physiologic changes in breathing patterns,†the dermatologist said.
