Skincare and beauty are two hugely popular categories across multiple social sites. Users flock to YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to share their skincare routines, and several licensed dermatologists have even made a home on the net as medical-based content creators like Dr Dray, Doctorly, and more. However, one creator is coming under scrutiny for her unique way of combating facial wrinkles \u2014 and she says it\u2019s by \u201ctraining\u201d her face to stop moving, completely. TikToker Isabelle Lux claims that she taught herself to stop moving her facial muscles when she was in high school by practicing in the mirror, hoping that \u201cthirty-year-old me, forty-year-old me, would not have wrinkles and would be able to talk and be happy.\u201d \u201cYou might think it\u2019s sad. I know this sounds weird, but that\u2019s actually how I did it,\u201d she explained. \u201cIf you wanna learn how to do it, just sit in front of the mirror, try and practice. It took hours. I admit it took hours. But it is worth it, I\u2019m telling you.\u201d While some viewers are impressed by Isabelle\u2019s dedication to keeping her face completely static, others are criticizing her for fighting what they say is a \u201cnatural\u201d part of being human. \u201cWrinkles are the lines of life,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cI\u2019ve obviously laughed a lot by the look of mine, but that makes me happy.\u201d \u201cAging is natural and nothing to be ashamed of,\u201d another argued. \u201cJust live folks! Facial expressions are beautiful!\u201d yet another urged. Still, others point to the facial feedback hypothesis, which posits that facial expressions can actually prompt a corresponding emotion \u2014 for example, that smiling can actually cause happiness and frowning can prompt sadness, etc. This is just the latest skincare \u2018hack\u2019 to go viral on TikTok after slugging took the app by storm, encouraging users to slather their face in Vaseline to make their products more effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
