The latest trend has provoked the reality star to issue a warning against taking part in a DIY freckle hack that's given her scarring and vision loss.

She said: "For those asking why I have my blue clay face mask on continuously throughout the show this is what my face looked like a week prior to entering the house hence why I always have makeup on and my skin is always covered."

"This is the result of attempting to remove scarring I inflicted on myself trying to replicate an at home beauty procedure I saw on a TikTok video 2 months before Big Brother. Who bloody else would manage to do such a thing?"

The reality TV star went on to warn people against attempting such hacks.

She said: "Please please don't try any 'DIY' or 'at home' beauty procedures I ended up in hospital with temporary loss of vision in my eye due to swelling and was very sick from the infection, not to mention my face was somewhat unrecognizable. Leave it to the professionals."

Pricking herself with ink made her believe the "freckles would fade within 6 months." She told the outlet that the video didn't tell her which ink to use, so she purchased brown tattoo ink online.

Tilly's Instagram post went on: "This is deep below surface level scarring and dark pigmentation, whilst I'm fortunate enough to not have keloid scarring and the surface of my skin is smooth, the pigmentation is very dark and obvious."

"I literally shoved needles deep into my skin this is not a rash."

The reality TV star has since spent over $12,000 in doctor visits to try to find a cure for her skin damage, but no solution has been found yet.
