New beauty trend taking TikTok by storm helps people remove every hair on their face – but is it helpful or harmful?

There’s a new beauty craze making the rounds on TikTok – and it involves taking a bizarre measure to remove every hair from one’s face.

Makeup fanatics are buying a new product called hair identification spray, which creates a dramatic layer of what looks like white spray paint all over the face to show off every hair.

The spray, which is sold online by several brands, should make dermaplaning, or shaving your face with a small, handy instrument, much easier.

While it’s unclear what exactly the spray is made of — one popular brand promises theirs is “infused with botanical extracts” and antioxidants — the idea is to highlight all the hair.

In one video, which has now reached more than 25 million views, beauty influencer Rachel Madison Carlisle tried the product for the first time and said it noticed hair on the back of her neck that she didn’t know existed before.

A TikTok user named Janet J also spun the spray, saying she didn’t know she had that much hair in the first place

Another US-based TikTok user passing by Janet Jalso turned the spray and said she didn’t even know she had that much hair.

But is hair identifying spray really good for your skin, or can it break you or even cause an infection?

FEMAIL spoke to dermatologists to find out if it is something that can harm your skin.

Ohio dermatologist Dr. Mona Mislankar told DailyMail.com that many hair identifying sprays on the market today contain heavy fragrances and are made with alcohol – which can cause different reactions for different skin types.

“If you don’t have particularly sensitive or acne-prone skin, this can be a good option and a good option for identifying hair,” explained Dr. Mislankar out.

However, it’s important to note that one of the most popular sprays on TikTok, SKNBODY, is non-comedogenic and free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde.

According to a New York City dermatologist Dr. Jody A. Levine at Plastic Surgery & Dermatology in New York City, any product applied to the skin can carry risks.

Dr. Levine explained that these types of sprays can contain pore-clogging ingredients, and recommended instead looking for sprays that are non-comedogenic and free of sulfates and parabens.

The spray itself also does not cause infections, but it is important to make sure your skin is clean before and after you remove the hairs as this will minimize the bacteria on the skin and the potential risks of infection due to dermaplaning.

But the actual product isn’t all bad news.

Dr. Levine told DailyMail.com that hair identifying spray made it easier to see the fine hairs on the face, and could help provide a closer shave, as it prevented friction and protected the skin from any cuts.

However, the spray doesn’t last very long on your face, she noted, meaning some of the benefits the product promises may not have long-lasting effects.

‘“While some sprays are formulated with antioxidant ingredients that aim to protect your skin from free radical damage, the spray does not last very long on your skin and the antioxidant benefits are not as great,” said Dr. Levine.

In a statement to DailyMail.com, a representative from SKNBODY said they take the safety and efficacy of products very seriously.

‘Our Hair Identifier Spray has been formulated with the utmost care to ensure it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin,’ they stated. ‘The fragrance used in our product has been tested to minimize the risk of irritation or breakouts.’

The brand also encouraged users with sensitive skin to perform a patch test before fully applying the product.

‘We continually work with experts in the field to ensure our products meet the highest standards.’

But in general, Dr. Mislankar told DailyMail.com that many of her patients loved dermaplaning.

“It ensures one has a smooth canvas while applying their skin care and makeup and can absolutely elevate an entire look,” explained Dr. Mislankar out.

But she warned that dermaplaning can cause acne in people with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

“Sometimes this is due to the physical act of the procedure itself, sometimes it is due to the products used previously,” the dermatologist said.
