On the Internet, you probably got to the eye recipes of “miraculous masks and scrubs”, which, after the first application, “help to get rid of acne”, “cleanse the skin“, “align the face colour”, and so on. However, not all the products that we use almost daily and the products that we eat, you can put on the face. Today, GoBeauty has prepared for you a selection of products that should under no circumstances be applied to the face of the skin.
Sugar
It is often advised to use it as an ingredient in homemade scrubs. And it really can be used for problem areas of the body or lips. But for the face skin, especially cheeks, it is not worth it. Its grains are too sharp. They create microcracks on the skin, which increases the risk of cuperosis appearance.
Toothpaste
It is a cleanser for teeth. And it is logical that there are abrasive particles in it (very small). When put to the skin, they dry it and may even cause burns. So use the toothpaste as intended.
Hydrogen peroxide
Peroxide is effective in treating wounds, but not in the treatment of skin defects. With constant use, the peroxide will burn the skin and make it dry. And this is a direct path to premature ageing of the skin.
Soda
It is also harmful to the person as peroxide. It is often advised as a miracle agent from black spots and for cleaning the surface layer of the epidermis, that is, peeling. But in practice, soda has aggressive pH and it dehydrates the skin, as well as accelerates the ageing process. The price is too high for black dots.
Lemon juice
You probably have met articles that describe the incredible effect of lemon juice on whitening of the face and elimination of minor skin imperfections. That’s just there forgot to write that concentrated lemon juice not only can cause irritation but also provoke burns. In addition, the use of lemon juice will worsen your relationship with the sun, increasing the risk of the appearance of pigment spots.
However, “homemade cosmetology” knows and useful products for the skin, of which it is advised to make masks. These are cucumbers, apples, yeast, cherries, honey (if not allergic), potatoes, oatmeal. A wonderful set for the summer!
