Mirror Mirror viewers slam Big Brother star Tilly Whitfeld after she applies GLUE for a facial

Tilly Whitfeld left viewers stunned after she shared some of the very unusual beauty routines she has tried during Monday’s episode of Mirror Mirror. 

The Channel Ten show explored the effects of social media, and the former Big Brother housemate admitted that she had tried dubious trends she’d seen online, including using PVC glue for a facial and tattooing freckles onto her own face. 

‘We’re gonna do a PVA glue facial’ the 22-year-old said in the show, before cheerily applying glue to her face with a brush. 

When she was warned that the safety directions instructed that users of the glue should avoid contact with skin and eyes, she quipped: ‘So, we’ll just put it on the skin, not the eyes.’ 

‘You just leave it on for a bit, and it’s gonna peel everything off. I’m just gonna put it on the forehead,’ she explained as she applied it, then said it felt, ‘Quite nice.’

Elsewhere in the show, Tilly explained how she was left with horrific scarring after attempting to tattoo freckles onto her own face.

‘I saw a TikTok viral video on a girl tattooing freckles on her own face at home, and I basically copied her,’ she said

‘They looked cute. I saw other people liking it. I saw people commenting how well it had worked for them,’ Tilly continued. 

‘So, of course, I thought I could do it. I mean, I did well in Art at high school. Why can’t I tattoo my face?

‘They say just go two millimetres in. So, I was just guesstimating what two millimetres was and going [stab stab] everywhere.’

Viewers watching Tilly discuss her unusual beauty treatments were less than impressed. 

‘This influencer… what a complete imbecile,’ one person tweeted while another added, ‘I swear if an app told people to eat glitter, they would’.

‘This idiot ‘influencer’ who just stuck PVA glue to her face and then pricked her skin ‘about two millimeters’ to give herself tattooed freckles is EVERYTHING wrong with the next generation,’ another said. 

‘I really just saw a ‘beauty influencer’ put GLUE on their face as a facial. Hmm,’ another wrote. 

‘Clear the internet has made people as dumb as dog s**t! FFS!’ someone else tweeted. 

The star ended up having laser and lightening treatments such as enzyme peels and microdermabrasion to repair the damage

Tilly was hospitalised and temporarily lost vision in one eye after trying a DIY freckle-creating ‘hack’ on TikTok just before she appeared on Big Brother in 2021.

She had attempted to self-administer acupuncture with ink she bought on eBay and sewing needles after watching somebody do it on TikTok. 

Tilly has since warned fans to leave such procedures to the professionals. 

‘My skin is still cooked from very deep scarring which will likely never fade and has cost me I’d say around $10,000 at least to remove,’ she said

‘Don’t try s*** at home, I ended up in hospital and couldn’t see from the swelling in my eyes. How weird is it how the world works.’
