Doctors are warning of a dangerous new TikTok trend that sees people apply lip balm to their eyelids to 'get high' or pull an all night study session.
'Beezin', which first emerged in the 2010s, involves people putting Burt's Bees lip balm around their eyes to imitate and intensify the feeling of being high or drunk, as well as make them feel more alert.
While the trend last decade was short-lived, it is enjoying a renaissance in recent months after videos racked up millions of views on TikTok.
Doctors warned that promoting this idea was 'dangerous' because it could cause skin conditions such as eyelid dermatitis and possible infections.
