Shania Twain’s DIY Makeup Remover Sparks Dermatologist Warning and Defends Body Image

Country music star Shania Twain shared a beauty routine in which she mixes olive oil with sugar to remove makeup. Dermatologist Dr. Annette Czernik warned that the sugar crystals can be harsh, potentially causing redness, irritation and damage to the skin barrier, and advised limiting the practice to occasional use, especially for sensitive skin.

Twain also responded to criticism after appearing in a sheer black lace dress at Wembley Stadium in London. She said she no longer lets body‑shaming affect her, embracing aging, menopause and encouraging others to love themselves as they are. The singer emphasized health and self‑acceptance over trying to look younger.
