Been seeing a lot of DIY articles about erasing in your social media feed lately? Remember that they are not all safe as they are only recommended by pseud-experts! If you have been advised by an elder to do a home treatment, remain critical of it or better yet consult a pigmentation specialist.
This article will elaborate on what DIYs you should avoid.
1. A peel-off mask made of glue
There is a reason why glues are made, to stick together two or more separate items. With this, it should be simple to understand that you do not want to put some on your skin because items are not meant to be combined to you. This could also worsen your breakouts as it contains chemicals not made for skin!
2. Baking soda exfoliation
Why would you want to use a harsh cleaning agent on your skin? There is a reason why baking soda is not recommended to use on skin as it is highly alkaline and it could disrupt your skin barrier. Instead, get an Intense Pulsated Light or IPL to lighten your freckles and pigmentation.
3. Lemon juice as a brightener
Likened to baking soda, lemon juice is not recommended to include in your skincare routine. It is said that you would have a higher risk to get acid burns and hyperpigmentation. So, if you do not want to get serious burns from the combination of sun and the lemon juice, do not do it!
4. Adding eggs to your DIY masks
There is a chance that you might ingest the raw eggs, mixed in your DIY, which could cause salmonella. You would not want to miss school because of this poisoning. So, it is best that you buy a ready-made egg mask in stores to ensure that they properly examined and safe to use.
