Dermatologist Warns Against Viral DIY Lip Gloss Trend: Contamination Risk Highlighted

The viral "giant lip gloss" trend using Elf's Halo Glow Liquid Filter has sparked a warning from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray. Dr. Dray's video highlights the trend's potential dangers. "This giant Elf keychain lip gloss trend is all over my FYP," she explains in the video, showing numerous lip care products being added to the Elf bottle. "People are taking that Elf makeup product, washing out the bottle, and pouring in a ton of different lip care products into it." Dr. Dray warns that this practice compromises the product's preservative system, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. The mixing of different formulas can also lead to unexpected reactions. Dr. Dray's expertise lends credibility to her warning, urging viewers to prioritize safety and use cosmetics as intended. The video's popularity underscores the need for consumer awareness regarding safe cosmetic practices.
