A WOMAN has issued a stark warning as to why you should never use a common beauty product "down there".
Camelie admitted she was left with chemical burns when she tried the hair removal cream her mum had bought her for her face elsewhere.
She first shared a video on TikTok, over the top of which she wrote:
"When someone asks me if it's ok to use hair removal cream on their hooha."
"No no NOO!!!" she wrote in the caption.
Camelie then further explained in another TikTok, as she revealed "why I don't recommend using hair removal creams down there".
"When I was 13 years old, my mum bought me one of those creams to use on my face," she said.
