Guava Shuishui dies age 24: Popular beauty influencer passes away after 'sudden illness'
A Taiwanese beauty influencer, known for tasting her products as she tested them, has died aged 24. Guava Shuishui, known online as Guava Beauty, amassed thousands of followers on Instagram through her reviews of makeup products. As per the English translation of a post shared to her social media account, the content creator died on May 24 from a 'sudden illness.' The popular influencer gained a following from her 'mukbang' videos, with dedicated followers eagerly watching her eat products such as lipstick, blush, face masks, and cotton pads. Mukbang is a form on content which involves the user eating in front of the camera. In her videos, Guava would test the product and then taste it - leaving her reviews of both. She would often ask followers to suggest products to try. Guava's exact cause of death is unknown, with her family releasing a statement via her Instagram. 'Although this trip came suddenly, Shuishui held on to every difficult moment just like she has always been – hard-working, serious, and shining,' the post said. 'Thank you to everyone who has liked, left a message and laughed with her, and thank you for your love and support. She really keeps it in her heart and cherishes it very much,' the statement continued. They concluded: 'Guava Shuishui simply continues to glow in a different place. When we meet again one day, she should be unboxing angels' exclusive makeup for eating broadcasts over.' That post was her last until May 24, when her profile bio was changed to: 'Logging out from the world. Setting off on a new journey. All business collaborations are suspended.' In one popular video from late 2024 that she had pinned to her page, the influencer used a jelly blush before sticking a fork in the container and scooping the entire product out to take a bite. In the caption, she acknowledged eating beauty products is 'controversial,' stating that children under six weren't allowed to watch her content. Some concerned fans commented on the video, worried she was setting a bad example for younger followers, and about the possible toxicity from the products. 'Please can you stop this behavior... You can eat in private, you can eat whatever you like. Really don't promote the act of "eating makeup,"' one user commented as per the English translation. 'It's still toxic, be careful,' warned another at the time. Some concerned fans commented on the video, worried she was setting a bad example for younger followers, and about the possible toxicity from the products 'I can understand that although it is inevitable to eat some lipstick, it's bad to eat it deliberately - please don't promote the act,' complained another. The world of 'mukbang' - where online creators share videos of them eating (often excessive) amounts of food while chatting to followers - has been attracting growing criticism as it grows in popularity. The trend - which has seen itself escalate in extremes, pushing creators to gorge on meals until it makes them unwell - is also tragically behind the deaths of at least three influencers, some as young as 24, in the last three years. Worried experts have also expressed concern that the move normalizes poor and unhealthy diets - as well as leading to potential nutrition deficiencies.

'I thought I was having a stroke after I got Botox - my face was drooping'
A woman who got Botox after seeing an advert for a 'bargain' procedure on social media thought she was having a stroke after her face began to droop. Florence Docherty, who got a mini facelift three months ago after seeing an advert on Instagram, began to feel numbness and tingling in her face weeks after the procedure. When she smiled, her face would droop to one side. During the procedure, a muscle on her face which should not have been injected with Botox was hit. Florence has since visited a medical aesthetics clinic in Barrhead, who confirmed the treatment she was promised was not possible. She told STV News: 'I was in the bathroom and I just happened to yawn in front of the mirror and the whole side of my face was drooping. 'The first thing I thought was 'I think this is the first symptoms of a stroke' – you know how they always say that your face droops. 'So I phoned the doctor and they asked me to take a picture and send it in and the doctor would phone me back and then I thought about it and I thought 'I wonder if it has anything to do with the Botox that I got.' She says when she got the procedure, it wasn't explained to her what Botox would be used but that she did not ask because it was a 'bargain'. Florence added: 'If something's too good to be true, it definitely is. I would never do it again. 'I did message the person and explain what had happened and she offered me half my money back and I said no I don't want my money back, I just don't want you to do it to somebody else.' Jacqueline Cooney, nurse prescriber and director of the Scottish Medical Aesthetics Safety Group said: 'We see weekly cases like this. 'When she came in to speak to me she was really embarrassed, felt quite ashamed of herself because what she described was that she didn't think the environment was clean. 'She didn't know where the toxin had come from that she had been injected with and they had clearly hit a muscle that wasn't supposed to be treated with the Botox. 'It was pulling the corner of her mouth down. 'Had she seen a prescriber, we would have told her that the whole treatment that she was promised was not possible. 'She would have never been treated with it in the first place.' From this week, non-surgical procedures such as Botox and filler injections will no longer be allowed to be prescribed without a face-to-face consultation with a medical professional. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) said that inconsistent regulation of non-surgical cosmetic practice can put people at risk. Research into the issue found that many people who had undergone non-cosmetic procedures had not fully considered how the medicine was obtained when the person administering it was not a healthcare professional. Some also did not realise that they were prescribed medicines and perceived the procedures to be 'overly accessible', taking place within unregulated environments without clarity on whether those injecting had sufficient training. The NMC said their updated position would 'protect the public and maintain trust and confidence in the professions'. Anne Trotter, NMC assistant director of education and standards, said: 'Following our research and engagement, we're confident that our updated position on the remote prescribing of non-surgical cosmetic medicines is in the best interests of public safety and protection. 'Nursing and midwifery prescribers provide competent and effective care to people every day. Face-to-face consultations will further improve their ability to assess people holistically and ensure non-surgical cosmetic medicines are prescribed as safely and appropriately. 'We'll continue to engage with our stakeholders, professionals, employers and the public as we bring this new requirement into effect.' The Scottish Government has announced it plans to regulate the sector within the next year with new safety rules, including procedures being delivered in suitable registered premises and supporting the enforcement of appropriate standards. The Non-surgical Cosmetic Procedures Bill will be introduced within the next year. STV News is now on WhatsApp Get all the latest news from around the country Follow STV News
