The biggest holiday skin TikTok trend in 2023, are the viral UV stickers. Detecting when it’s time to reapply sunscreen, they’ve racked up 43.1 million views. These stickers start off purple, and as adequate SPF protection gets applied to skin, they turn clear. As soon as it’s time to reapply sunscreen, they turn purple again – acting like a wearable skin timer.
