Social media superstar Molly-Mae Hague has warned her followers against a popular beauty treatment.
The influencer - who has 8.5 million Instagram followers - has said that dermaplaning is a “trap”.
Dermaplaning is when peach fuzz and dead skin cells are removed from your face with a scalpel - it’s a non-invasive treatment, which in the UK typically costs around £60 to £150.
Following her latest dermaplaning session, Hague shared a photo of a cotton pad filled with peach fuzz.
“Dermaplaning… The trap is so real. Look at the amount of fuzz that comes off my face when I get it done… because I leave it so long deciding if I want to do it again or not,” she wrote, adding a laughing and a crying emoji.
She also posted a selfie with the caption: “The feeling after. Fuzz free.”
In a 2022 YouTube video, the former Love Islander described the cycle she had got in to with the treatment, saying her peach fuzz now grows back at “rapid levels” and that she had a “little bit of a beard”.
“It's just one of those things, when you start doing it you can't really stop,” she added.
“So yeah you could say I wish I never started the dermaplaning because I'm not the sort of person who keeps up regularly with my beauty treatments.”
In 2021, Hague, who is now a mum to two-year-old Bambi, said it “scares her” that young girls resort to cosmetic treatments - adding she worries for her future children about how they will cope with the pressure to look good.
The reality star also spoke about how insecurities lead her to have cosmetic treatments - adding said she decided to remove her fillers after not recognising herself in the mirror.
On the impact so-called “tweakments” can have on younger generations, Hague told Cosmopolitan: “We need to stop normalising filler, with things like ‘Kylie Jenner [surgery] packages.’
“I was 17 when I first got my lips done, and it scares me to think that if I have a daughter in 10 years’ time, what it might be like for her. I sometimes forget how young my followers are, too. I’m often surprised by the fact some of the girls in my DMs even have a phone.”
