These days, a unique beauty trend is becoming increasingly viral on social media, which is being called ‘Comb Masking’. This trend was shown by famous model Hailey Bieber during the promotion of her skincare brand, in which she was seen applying a face mask on her face with the help of a comb. After this, this trend spread rapidly on social media and many influencers also started trying it.

However, as stylish as this trend looks, it is equally controversial. Skin experts say that applying face mask with a comb can be harmful for the skin, because it can increase the risk of bacteria, irritation and damage to the skin.

What is the comb mask trend?

In the comb mask trend, the face mask is applied on the face with the help of a comb instead of hands or brush. The mask is spread on the face in an even layer using the teeth of the comb, which makes it look very neat and aesthetic. This is the reason why people have started adopting it rapidly.

Why is it going viral on social media?

In today’s era, beauty trends are not limited to skin care only, but their look also matters. The method of applying face mask with a comb looks different and stylish, so it quickly went viral. Many influencers tried it in India too, due to which this trend became more popular.

Is this method really beneficial?

Although this trend looks good, skin experts do not consider it right. According to dermatologists, it is not safe to use a comb on the face. Combs are usually made for hair, and if not cleaned properly they can contain bacteria. This can cause problems like pimples, infection or irritation on the skin. Additionally, combing creates friction, which can damage the skin barrier and make the skin sensitive.

To follow the trend or not?

Not every viral trend is necessarily right for you. Many times the beauty hacks seen on social media only look good, but they are of no benefit. In such a situation, it is important that before adopting any new trend, you understand its safety and effect. This new trend of Hailey Bieber may be popular on the internet, but it is more important to be careful in the matter of skin care.
