In a world of social media hacks and mess-ups, it’s getting challenging to know what really works. Today on Arizona Midday, we try out some of the summer trends and products and share what we LOVE and what is meh…
SKIN FLOODING:
Skin Flooding is a TikTok darling with more videos than we can even watch. The “flood” starts with a clean, damp face. After that, apply a healthy amount of serum that’s rich in antioxidants. Finally, you layer an emollient cream to seal it all in. Derms have been touting the benefits for years, and now TikTok is making skin flooding a star.
Delavie Sciences’ Aeonia Age Defying Serum
PRICE: $125
SHOP: @delaviesciences.com
The novel ingredient, Bacillus Lysate, has significant UV-shielding properties in greater ranges than most UV filters and as the first cosmetic product certified by the Space Foundation, Bacillus Lysate is a safer, natural alternative to the harmful chemicals used in most sunscreens. Delavie Sciences’ Aeonia Age Defying Serum utilizes their patented ingredient, Bacillus Lysate, the first biological cosmetic that is Space Certified Technology™ by the Space Foundation™. Bacillus Lysate has been proven to significantly reduce UVA-induced skin damage as well as increase hyaluronic acid production in cells, and anti-aging genes. The Age Defying serum is clinically proven to decrease fine lines and wrinkles. Delavie was co-founded by Dr. David Sinclair, a distinguished Harvard geneticist with expertise in longevity.
SKIN CYCLING:
This trend is another one we can’t possibly keep up with; however, it’s a pretty easy process, like skin flooding. You basically start on day one with an exfoliant or fruit acid to break down the top layers of skin. On day 2, you apply retinol which typically causes irritation. Then on days 4 and 5, you simply apply a basic cream without any active ingredients to rest your skin.
NUPEEL NATURAL ENZYME PEEL
PRICE: $40.00
SHOP: @amazon
Gently removes dead skin cells to promote glowing, radiant skin appearance. Utilizing papaya/papain enzymes to naturally exfoliate, and packed with a number of botanical extracts like aloe, pineapple, grape seed, green tea leaf and cucumber, NuPeel is like an at-home, natural facial peel in a bottle.
• Non-abrasive, non-irritating papaya enzyme peel

Stress Sweat Hack:
Just in time for summer, even your deodorant has gone viral. All agree to put it on at night and before bed. If you are sweating in more places than your pits, have no fear, you can apply there too. This brand is the derm fave on the TOK, and the formula is formulated for stress seat, which is known to be stinkier.

Eye Bag Hack:
I’ve seen some crazy things on TikTok that really should not be on there. When it comes to eye bags, it’s almost like the wild west with homemade concoctions and tools. On this product’s debut, it sold out. And this isn’t a small brand. We are dying to try it out for ourselves.

EYE Lash Serum Wait and See:
This trend is seriously long-lived. But some are real, and even over at Instagram, this brand is shining. It’s not cheap, but it sure is less expensive than extensions. Plus, the brow videos are truly amazing.
