TikTokers discussing school air likely think the air in their school is making them look ugly. The "school air trend" took off in late 2022, after TikToker @kumahto posted a video of how she looked outside and inside her school. (Her hair looked a touch messier inside.) The video was captioned "school air rly be doing smth."
Since then, other teen TikTokers have posted a bevy of videos claiming school air is a makeup remover, zit inducer, and/or hair frizzer. (No scientific studies have yet verified these findings.) Relatedly, many female TikTokers began discussing the concept of boyfriend air - in which having their boyfriend around apparently causes them to look or feel ugly.
