What does Lupus do to the body? Selena Gomez responds to concern over her shaking hands in TikTok video

American singer Selena Gomez took to her TikTok handle earlier this month and shared a video of her makeup and skincare routine. Miley Cyrus' Never Be Me played in the background and fans could not help but notice that Gomez's hands were somewhat unsteady when she was applying micellar water on a sponge.

The singer has since clarified that the recent shakiness of her hands in the viral makeup video is due to Lupus.

Several fans and followers took to the comments section of her post to express their concern for the star as they wondered why her hands were shaking.

Addressing her shaking hands in the comments section of a now-deleted TikTok video by another user, Selena Gomez pointed out that it was because of her Lupus medication.

She said:

“Lol I shake because of my medication for lupus. Also read my disclaimer. I ain’t no pro.”

“I’m a little bit big right now because I enjoyed myself during the holidays. But we don’t care.”

However, she has been thriving on the professional front. She last appeared as Mabel Mora in Hulu's Only Murders in the Building and is currently shooting for the third season of the series.
