A popular weight-loss drug, Mounjaro, is bringing unexpected side effects for some users. People taking Mounjaro are reporting difficulty with a common beauty ritual: applying makeup.
Several individuals have shared experiences of struggling with makeup application after significant weight loss using the medication. This appears to be linked to changes in skin elasticity and texture.
Mounjaro, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, works by regulating blood sugar and suppressing appetite. While effective for weight management, it can also impact skin firmness. Some users have also reported feeling constantly hungry and disliking the taste of food.
Experts suggest that maintaining hydration and a balanced diet alongside Mounjaro may help mitigate these skin-related changes. More research is needed to fully understand and address these emerging side effects.
