Woman refers to condition as ‘hormone face’, highlights detrimental effects of prolonged make-up usage combined with harsh products
A Chinese woman from northeastern China has sparked widespread disbelief after revealing that her face became severely inflamed and disfigured due to allergic reactions after going two decades without removing her make-up.
In early June, a 37-year-old woman from Jilin province, known online as Niuyoumian and boasting nearly 30,000 followers, shared her predicament in a social media post.
The video showed her severely inflamed face, characterised by pronounced redness, swelling, itching, and covered in dense rashes, clearly indicating a severe allergic reaction. She described her condition as a case of “hormone face”.
She disclosed that she had been wearing make-up since the age of 15 and, for 22 consecutive years, had never once removed it.
