A dermatologist is warning TikTok users to stay sun safe and avoid recreating one influencer’s viral homemade sunscreen.
Nara Smith, who goes by ‘naraazizasmith‘ on the social media platform, is facing backlash after sharing a recipe for making sunscreen “from scratch” with her 8.1 million followers.
Having spent “a lot of time outside by the pool”, Nara asked her husband, Lucky Blue Smith to “make” some sunscreen as the pair had run out – filming the process to teach viewers how to do the same.
While the TikTok garnered over 17.6 million views, those watching weren’t convinced the DIY sunscreen would protect them from any UV damage. And it turns out they were right, with experts warning against recreating the recipe.
