5 DIY Skincare Treatments To Avoid

 

It's easy to fall victim to the DIY beauty trend brought about by a bunch of self-proclaimed beauty gurus and hackers in today's society. Although most DIY beauty hacks use natural ingredients, that doesn't always mean safety. You can find thousands of search results for "best home remedies for skin" with a quick search. However, even these organic elements can harm your skin, especially if you use them in their unprocessed, raw form.

Let's discuss these supposed "cures" and why you should never apply them to your face.

1. Lemon for skin lightening






Lemon juice is one of the most common DIY skin care items, but it is also one of the most dangerous because it disrupts the balance of the skin's acid mantle due to its high acidity (pH around 2), which ultimately increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun and your risk of sunburn, skin cancer and hyperpigmentation. Forget your plans to get rid of imperfections; this can cause more problems than you expected!

2. Coconut oil as a skin moisturizer







Keep coconut oil off your face; works wonders for moisturizing hair and feet. Due to its high comedogenicity, it is sure to clog pores and cause breakouts, blemishes and inflammation. With a moisturizing cream, you can achieve the same moisturizing effect without clogging the pores.

3. Toothpaste for acne treatment







Applying toothpaste to pimples overnight is a proven DIY beauty tip to dry them by morning. Usually peroxide and baking soda are found in toothpaste (bad pH for skin). While it may be able to temporarily reduce inflammation, this too will cause irritation and possibly chemical burns. Even worse, after the acne clears up, your skin will be prone to scarring, discoloration, and dryness. Instead, use acne gels that are safer and more effective in preventing acne.

4. Raw eggs for skin firming






Up to 66 percent of products you apply to your skin are absorbed. Because they are believed to firm the skin and minimize the appearance of pores, eggs are a common ingredient in both homemade mask recipes and Korean skin care products. The fact that raw eggs can contain salmonella is a flaw in the theory. If the contaminated egg white accidentally comes into contact with the mucous membranes, it poses a greater risk to the skin.

5. Coffee scrub as a facial scrub








Coffee grounds cause tiny tears in the skin that cause rashes, irritation and damage to the skin's surface. An individual's skin can become infected, pigmented or even scarred as a result. A microfiber face cloth or chemical exfoliant is an excellent substitute for this.
