The ‘Hot’ Girl Morning Shed
An original entertaining tik Tok which created a flurry of content creators to respond with their own versions of this trend. The ‘shed’ involves excessive sleep regime products and techniques for the face, hair and body that include slugging the skin with a host of ingredients, mouth taping, silk hair protectors, eye masks, and internal supplements applied before bed in a lengthy ritual, then removed in the morning for a ‘hot’ girl reveal.
Our verdict: This amusing regime is excessive, but the step of applying actives to your skin is a good one. At night, when you are sleeping, specific important responses are happening throughout the body including the skin. The increase of blood flow brings much needed nutrients to the skin, keratinocytes proliferate, collagen builds and repairing of DNA also occurs. For this very reason, research has shown that night-time is the perfect time to apply actives for optimal acceptance to the skin.
