Sarah Michelle Gellar, 49, revealed the two '90s trends that she would under no circumstances like to see reemerge.

The star "can't look" at one more TikTok video of children asking their parents, "Mom, what were you like in the '90s," because there are certain beauty and fashion trends that she doesn't want people picking up again.

She confessed: "There are two things I don't want back from the '90s: I don't want over-tweezed eyebrows back. We all look better with an eyebrow," per Glamour.

The star added: "And I don’t get the choker thing. It just cuts your neck off. It looks like you're a weird bobblehead. I am not a choker girl. Those are my two."

Sarah reflected on the '90s trends she strongly dislikes

The Buffy star continued: "There's the tweezing of your eyebrows. Oh, and then the dyeing of your eyebrows — I did that in the '90s, which is coming back, the bleached brows. I'm not doing that."

Sarah is right to think so on both beauty fronts being that the trends can lead to serious consequences.

Over-tweezing your eyebrows can cause long-term damage of your hair follicles, and can even lead to your eyebrows not growing back.

Bleaching your eyebrows can inflame your hair follicles, which can result in your eyebrows not growing back as well. On top of that, there are also risks of discoloration and skin irritation due to the strong chemicals in bleach.

The one '90s trend that stuck for Sarah

As for Sarah's favorite tried and true fashion trend that the star still wears to this day, its back slip dresses.

The actress shared: "By the way, the '90s were cool AF. Thank God for Love Story bringing back slip dresses. I never stopped wearing them."

Sarah's full moment

Sarah reflected on her earlier years, and revealed: "I actually think I look better now. I have great memories, but I'm happier now. I feel more confident. I feel better."

The star looks ageless, thanks to learning how to take care of her skin as a young actress.

Sarah remains consistent with her skincare routine

She recalled: "I did a show when I was a teenager, and this makeup artist said, 'We're going to teach you how to take care of your skin.' I had my first facial, I think I was 16, and it stuck with me ever since then."

Sarah joked: "I'm the person on the airplane that's moisturizing their face on the airplane and spraying it down. It's also [part of] my job."
