There’s a weird new skincare treatment making the rounds online … and it has a dangerous secret.

What kind of issues?
Judy says there is a range of side effects. “Zinc oxide can cause allergic reactions such as swelling, itching or tingling in some patients. People with sensitive skin or those who have any allergic tendencies should check with their doctor first before using anything that has zinc oxide.” Another thing you should know before you go down the diaper road: “… ingredients like zinc oxide can slowly build up in the system, until they reach toxic levels, particularly if they are also taking supplements containing zinc.”What if zinc oxide is doing the trick for me?
Fads are fascinating because they all work the same way. Whether it’s nappy cream, tanning beds or mullets, everyone will get on it at once and for a while. Then there’s a chance it’ll stop working, or worse, everyone has a bad result and your new thing will quickly become uncool. But there will always be the photos and the social media posts proving you were there. Did you buy Bitcoin? Yeah, fads are bubbles. I’m not judging. When I was a kid I had a giant rat’s tail at the back of my head, and as an adult I still don’t regret it. When I’m a silver fox I’ll feel the same about my man bun. No really. But we’re here to feel good, and the smartest way to do that is with a treatment that keeps your skin clear long-term. We’re all playing a short and long game -- short term, you’re testing treatments like the SkinB5 5-minute Skin Purifying Mask and figuring out which lifestyle choices your body loves. Long-term, you’re keeping it up, getting healthier every week (let’s be honest, some days are better than others). The long game is the safest and most rewarding part. Sorry to sound like your mother and accountant, but why take risks when you have a sure thing? Every day you care for yourself, you’re on the right track. The more days you can keep it up, the more good you do. It’s fine to wait out an exciting new shortcut while others trial it for you. The best part of a health fad can be sitting back, watching everyone else, then seeing it disappear while you do your thing and patiently get better looking.
