Viral Gelatin Face Mask: Instant Glow or Skin Damage Risk?
•A new social media skincare trend involves applying a papad-like gelatin layer to the face, claiming instant fairness and glow.
•Videos show gelatin mixed with water or milk, applied, and then peeled off, with users displaying glowing skin.
•Gelatin, a protein linked to collagen, temporarily tightens skin, making it appear smoother, but this effect is not permanent.
•Skin experts warn that peeling off the gelatin can remove the top skin layer, causing redness, irritation, or rashes, especially for sensitive skin.
•Repeated use can reduce natural moisture and weaken the skin barrier; safe alternatives like mild cleansers, moisturizers, and Vitamin C are recommended for healthy skin.
