TikTok announced that it will soon ban several beauty filters for teens to promote better mental health amid teenagers.
The restrictions will target filters that alter lip size, eye shape, and skin tone, following a study linking social media use to lower body confidence among teens.
This move aims to reduce the pressure young people feel to conform to unrealistic beauty standards online.

00:00Do you love a good beauty filter on TikTok?
00:02Well then let me tell you right now, you're not going to be happy with what I have to tell you.
00:05Okay, now that you know that this is actually what I look like,
00:07you should know that TikTok recently announced that it's going to ban those beauty filters
00:11like what you saw on me earlier.
00:12However, I will say they're not going to be banned for everyone.
00:14They'll just be banned for younger users, specifically teenagers.
00:17It's also worth noting that the types of filters that will be banned
00:20are filters that change a child's face and features in any way that makeup would not.
00:25So if it's something fun like bunny ears or dog nose, that's going to be okay.
00:28But if the filter makes your eyes look bigger or your lips look plumper,
00:32basically what you saw me looking like earlier, that's not going to be okay.
00:35It's also worth noting that this restriction comes amid concerns
00:37that there's a rising anxiety and falling self-esteem amongst young TikTok users.
00:41So now I want to know if you think restricting these types of filters will help with those
00:45concerns. Let me know your thoughts and for more trending news,
