Don’t let every internet skincare DIY fool you, as some beauty hacks for radiant skin can end with hazardous results. While some products may give instant relief and are proven to be useful in the long run, certain products shouldn’t ever be applied to your face. Let’s take a look at some.
There’s a reason why these creams are known as ‘body’ lotions and are not made for our facial skin. Having a thick, dense, oily texture, they can clog our facial pores, leading to acne breakouts and allergic reactions due to artificial fragrances.
It is a common misconception to use sugar on the face as a DIY face scrub, as it can be abrasive for your skin, leading to irritation, redness, dryness, and more.
Never wash your face with hot water, as it makes the skin dry and dull, reduces the moisture level, and may also cause a burn. Opt for lukewarm water, which opens your pores, removing dirt for better cleansing.
Brimming with vitamin C, applying raw lemon will only bring harm to your facial skin, as the chemical found in lemon makes the skin sensitive to light, thus resulting in irritation and chemical burns.
Often used for blackheads and zits, toothpaste leads to burns and even infections if applied over pimples, as the strong ingredients can irritate your skin severely.
Baking soda is claimed to cure acne, too, but because of its alkaline property, it disturbs the pH level of your skin severely, leading to breakouts.
A hard pass for oil skin girls, this carrier oil is a natural boon for hair and skin, but because of its heavy density, it can clog your skin pores, leading to acne breakouts.
Apart from making the food delicious, mayonnaise is also used in haircare. However, some people have started using it as face packs as well, which is not advisable, as it is acidic in nature and may clog your skin pores.
