Another day, another TikTok nomenclature: #morningshed is an elaborate beauty routine that's supposed to work as you sleep, with 'slimming' chin straps, 'detoxing' castor oil stomach wraps and 'plumping' mouth masks so you can 'go to bed ugly' and 'wake up pretty' after shedding these torturous gadgets. With well over 100 million TikTok posts, your daughter, granddaughter, and even nephew may be suffocating their skin one moment, stripping it the next. Some are asking whether this is why Gen Z has renounced sex.
They're too busy making themselves repulsive, in order to make themselves irresistible, to get up to more traditional bedroom activity. Sure, sleep on your back for a few days after filler or Botox to stop your face 'setting' wonkily. I use a Muji Neck Cushion (£19.
