Here's one beauty hack that made me shake my head hard in disbelief and at the same time, spit my coffee upon reading the title.
Apparently, people are using glue for their DIY beauty masks; yup, you heard that right; GLUE. Office and school glue. A lot thought that since peel off masks feel like "glue", therefore an actual glue may be a good substitute.
This is harmful to the skin because glue might peel off hair and fresh skin at the same time, leaving skin sensitized and irritated, and can lead to rashes in the end.
Although some glue brands claim that they're non-toxic, there's no guarantee that the ingredients are hypoallergenic and WTH girl, Y U PUT SCHOOL GLUE ON YOUR SKIN???
What do you think of this popular beauty hack? Will you try it or ditch it?

I've seen this hack before to a Yter and it really doea work in removing some of blackheads or whiteheads. Tho, I would never put glue on my face as alternative for a pore mask whatsoever even if its non toxic it still might bring me irritations. I'd rather buy the ones are intended for that I've seen and used some which are available at Watsons.
ReplyDeleteTrue that! Youtubers nowadays hay!
DeleteGlue? Really? Nope, I will not do that.
ReplyDeleteHAHA LOL! Me too!
DeleteA big no for glue as peel off mask but I would definitely put it in my hand hahahha to fake the peeling of my skin.
ReplyDeleteTrue! I'd put glue on palms and peel 'em off too just for fun haha. :D
DeleteDitch!!! Hello, sobrang baho ng Elmer's Glue. From the smell palang, amoy madaming harmful chemicals na 😩
ReplyDeleteHaha true. Apparently, some will bear it for instafame lol.
Deleteyeah I think its wrong to use glue on your face Lalo na if its sensitive..:(
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteSame thoughts here Ms. Martha :) Super popular po ang DIY these days, super nakakaaliw gawin at tipid pa pero di naman lahat is pede i-DIY :) There are some products naman po for blackhead na kering keri ng budget :) Kaya dun na tayo sa safe at sigurado :)
ReplyDeleteagree! There's this blackhead peel off pack in sachet that's around 30 or 40 lang ata!
DeleteNOPE! I wouldn't dare try this "hack". I would rather buy the peel off masks or the cream meant for blackheads than use glue, goodness these people may maipa uso lang talaga.
ReplyDeleteYes! Tama!
DeleteMay napanood pa ako nyan 100 layers ang ginawa. Sakit pg tinanggal haha! Glue pa more!
ReplyDeleteShucks! I pity their skin haha!
DeleteNo way to glue to remove blackheads. It's meant to put things together, not for your face.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Let's use things on what they're intended for haha
DeleteOops, sorry no! Like what you've said po, sobrang harmful po nito. 😱😱😱 And the smell of Elmer's Glue, can't take it. This is not advisable, baka magworsen. Thank you ate Martha for this! Your thoughts are definitely right. 💯
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! It might even worsen breakouts if you have one!
DeleteNope. Wont do that. Im afraaaaaiiiddd..haha
ReplyDeletehaha!
DeleteI used to put glue on my face way back in elementary and I even thought that it's not harmful after reading this headline. Fortunately, I read the whole article. HAHA but anyway, this is informative esp for people who are way too curious (guilty!) at least, they wont end up believing whatever they're reading on the internet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we should take whatever we read and watch with a grain of salt, always. :)
DeleteGood thing hindi ko pa nggwa kahit I have plan to try. hahaha. Nppa isip din kasi ako if safe b sya. 😆
ReplyDeleteNoooo haha :D
DeleteDefinitely no. I also saw a DIY video where they make a peel off lip tint using glue and food coloring. Mapapa 'OMG, srsly?' ka nalang talaga. 😅
ReplyDeleteHay true.
DeleteMay other use pa sya! My sister and her friends put Elmer's Glue on their eyebrows before putting concealer on to copy the characters they're portraying. Buti naman at may mga kilay pa naman sila 😂
ReplyDeleteOh yeah., for creating avant garde looks. I guess that's okay if you don't do it often, but if you do, good luck to your brows then. :D
DeleteLuh? (facepalm).. There's a bunch of blackhead pore strip that are way cheaper than glue.. Emeged these people hehe
ReplyDeleteTrueeeeeth
DeleteUpon reading the title, this is me -- 😱😱😱. No no sa Face! Some beauty hacks are dangerous, though some of it works but they don't think about it's effects in the long run :( No no sa face! Reminds me nung ginagawa ko nung bata ako. I would put Elmers Glue on my palms 😂
ReplyDeleteHahaha the elmer's glue on palms is something that I think every one of us did. That's okay, but on the face??? Uhm, pass! :D
DeleteHala! When I read one of your blogpost about peel off mask na may glue, I couldn't believe it but na-shock ako dito! I won't try it as well kasi hindi naman papel yung skin ko. hehe! ^_^
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
