If your looksmaxxing routine makes you bleed, that’s not self-improvement. That’s self-harm.
Looksmaxxing just means improving your appearance — and some of it is solid: sleep, exercise, balanced nutrition, skincare, mental health. But some trends going viral right now have zero medical evidence behind them. “Bone smashing” is one of them: hitting your face does not reshape your jaw.

Improving how you look isn’t the problem. Believing a 15-second clip over your doctor is.
👉 Don’t believe everything you see online. Ask your doctor before you try it.
