Selena Gomez responded to a TikTok criticizing her skincare routine.

It all started earlier this month, when Selena posted a skincare routing including products from La Mer, Bioderma, Dermalogica, and Laneige.

PSA I got most of these products free. I ain’t just rolling like that everywhere. Use any serum to take off make up before washing. It breaks it up nicely. Also use a sponge to wipe eyes to treat eyes delicately when removing make up. K I’m done pretending I know what I’m taking about.

While the comments were largely positive — and noted her use of a Miley Cyrus song — a small number remarked on how Selena's hands were shaking at points.

One TikToker took it a step further and posted a now-deleted video criticizing Selena's routine, saying "Oh my god, what are you doing?!" as Selena shakily applied micellar water to a sponge.

According to E! News, Selena then clarified in the comments that her shakiness was a side effect of her lupus medication:

"lol i shake because of my medication for lupus. also read my disclaimer i ain't no pro"

Selena has long been candid about having lupus, undergoing a kidney transplant back in 2017 due to lupus-related organ damage. She further showed how she struggled with pain brought on by the autoimmune disease in her documentary series My Mind & Me, including one moment in 2020 where she tearfully explained, "In the morning when I wake up, I immediately start crying because it hurts, everything."

In short, maybe not everything needs to be commented on!
