Years from now, when the grandchildren of millennials are asking Grandma what beauty trends were poppin’ in her youth, the answers will no doubt raise eyebrows. Once something hits the Internet, it’s there forever and what we’ve left so far is some pretty outlandish stuff.

We have nothing against body hair; in fact, we embrace it! But this one just looks itchy and uncomfortable. It all started with one viral post and eventually caught fire on our Instagram feeds. We’d admittedly try this out of curiosity, but it would end there. Period.

There is nothing cool about voluntarily subjecting yourself to this kind of pain. Skin care is supposed to be fun, not excruciating beyond belief. My face hurts just watching these “challenges.”
