Doctors have warned people not to participate in the 'senseless practice' of pouring hot wax all over their face before peeling it off.
Viral videos on TikTok show a barber shop in the Netherlands covering the whole face of a client with resin, waiting for it to harden and then peeling it off.
The eyes, nose and mouth are completely covered in some instances, with air holes forged with cotton buds.
Advocates of the process say it is a development of a traditional beauty practice whereas critics say it poses risks of burns, suffocation and inflaming skin.
