How TikTok's #morningshed' went viral
Briefly

The #morningshed trend on TikTok showcases creators applying excessive layers of skincare products, including masks and facial accessories before sleeping, aiming for flawless skin. This routine is more elaborate than traditional skincare, often incorporating chinstraps, hydrogel masks, and mouth tape. Dermatologist Dr. Anjali Mahto notes that this trend emphasizes performative productivity rather than skincare science. It reflects a societal pressure to curate life, including beauty rituals, which often surpasses the physiological needs of the skin. This obsession with perfection creates a somewhat dystopian scenario in modern self-care practices.
