According to the 21-year-old stunner, she had ordered collagen face masks from an online retailer and decided to treat herself and her pal with an at-home spa day.
Collagen is a protein that's an essential ingredient for healthy muscles, bones, as well as our skin.
But as we age, collagen breaks down and it gets harder to produce more - which is why beauty lovers opt for other alternatives, such as collagen gummies, powders or collagen sheet masks.
Unfortunately for Teoni, whilst her friend was all chuffed with the results, things didn't go to plan, as she was recording the horrific flop.

With her pal in the background raving about the results and how ''refreshed'' her face now looked, the young sunbed lover started to peel the sheet mask off.
At first, everything seemed to go smooth, as she revealed a radiant complexion - but it all took a sharp turn when the fashionista began to remove the mask near her eyebrows.
''Oh! Alysha, they're stuck on my eyebrows,'' she told her mate who initially refused to believe what Teoni had just said.
''No, Alysha,'' the young beauty buff was mortified, showing viewers the pieces of eyebrow hair coming off with the mask.

''These collagen facemasks made my soul leave my body,'' the stunner wrote in the caption of the now-viral video which has been viewed close to a whopping 2million times in less than a week.
According to the young woman, who posts under the username @, she managed to salvage her eyebrows and told concerned people she still had them intact ''thank God''.

Despite the scare, Teoni - who thanked her pal for coming to the rescue - was chuffed with the effects of the mask and recommended it to others.
''They are pretty good, to be fair,'' she said in the comments.
After taking the internet by storm, the beauty explained that she was ''getting impatient'' and decided to peel the mask off before the recommended time.
With close to a staggering 80k likes in just six days, the video has racked up dozens of comments, with people both in hysterics and horrified.
One laughed: ''Your friend seems like a vibe “I look so refreshed”… I am buzzing after that” “No it’s not, No it’s not.''
What is Collagen?
- Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and provides strength and structure to the skin and muscles
- It plays a significant role in maintaining skin elasticity and hydration
- As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin and decreased skin firmness
- Collagen production starts to dwindle in our mid-to-late 20s and early 30s. By 40, it has dropped dramatically
It's important to note that while collagen-based skincare products may offer benefits, their effectiveness can hugely vary.
Some experts suggest that topical application of collagen may have limited effectiveness compared to other skincare ingredients that stimulate collagen production within the skin.
Another chimed in, totally mortified as they had just used the special treatment themselves.
''Help I have one on rn [right now].''
Someone else revealed why things had gone so horribly wrong, saying she needed to have waited longer.

''You need to let it dry down completely before peeling it off or it gets sticky, you’ll know it’s completely dry as there will be absolutely no white parts on the mask, it will just be see through.''
A fourth advised: ''Should’ve started peeling the forehead and gone from the other side of the eyebrow, pulls out less hairs and hurts less.''
