Taiwanese content creator Guava Shuishui gained fame by creating videos where she tastes beauty products. However, these eye-catching contents cost the young woman her life. Experts are drawing attention to the dangerous point that social media trends have reached.
In Taiwan, the tragic death of 24-year-old social media influencer Guava Shuishui, known by the name "Guava Beauty," highlighted the dangerous point that risky trends on social media have reached. Shuishui, who gained attention for tasting beauty products while testing them, quickly amassed a large following. However, this unusual content ultimately resulted in death. The young woman likely died from poisoning due to the chemicals in cosmetic products. In a statement made by her family, it was noted that Shuishui passed away due to "sudden illness."
"SHE WAS A BAD EXAMPLE" The influencer's "mukbang" style videos, in particular, garnered significant interest. Shuishui would try cosmetic products like lipstick, blush, face masks, and even cotton pads, and then comment on their tastes. This unconventional content style earned her a large fan base. However, some of her followers warned that such videos could set a bad example for young viewers and that the products could be toxic.
In a video pinned to her page at the end of 2024, Shuishui had used a fork to scoop out a gel blush and eat it like a spoon. This video caused a significant stir on social media. In the content description, she emphasized that she was aware of the controversial nature of eating beauty products and that children under the age of 6 should not watch her content. Following this tragic incident, it was once again reminded that content creators on social media should not push the limits of health. Concerns about Shuishui's death resonated among both her followers and digital content experts.
EXPERTS WARNED Experts emphasized that content creators should not risk their health for the sake of attracting attention, particularly noting that children and young people could be influenced by such videos. "While social media trends may seem innocent, they can pose serious health threats," is the warning being issued.
