Eyes stuck while scrolling through social media. Is it possible to get such glowing skin with the ingredients of Henshel? Very surprised. And after that he started makeup like that after seeing the reel. Some are rubbing lemons on their faces, some are scrubbing coffee beans. But we don’t even think of crosschecking how correct it is. Yes, most people do. The skin care we indulge in with information from Facebook is full of inconsistencies. According to experts, common spices or ingredients in the kitchen can be harmful to the skin in many cases. These natural ingredients can destroy our skin barrier forever. Hence, it is necessary to be aware of these ingredients before applying it on the face.

1) Lemon: Many people apply lemon juice directly on their face to increase brightness or reduce blemishes. The normal pH of our skin is around 5. But the pH of lemon is only 2. This strong acidity can cause ‘chemical burns’ on skin contact. Exposure to the sun, especially lemons, can cause problems like ‘phytochododermatitis’, which leave permanent dark spots or blisters on the skin.

2) Baking Soda: Many people use alkaline baking soda to treat acne. It washes away the protective acid mantle of the skin. As a result, the skin becomes excessively dry and bacteria builds up there.

3) Sugar and coffee beans: Scrubbing with sugar or coffee beans is trending now. But if you look under the microscope, you will see that these grains are as sharp as glass. When these are rubbed into the skin, thousands of tiny pores or ‘micro-tears’ are created. It causes wrinkles to fall prematurely.

4) Essential Oils: The danger is not less in the case of essential oils. Lavender or tea-tree oil is highly chemically concentrated. Direct contact may cause severe allergic or contact dermatitis.

5) Eggs: There is an ancient tradition of applying egg whites to tighten the skin. But it has a high chance of ‘salmonella’ infection. While laboratory-made cosmetics contain preservatives, homemade packs do not. As a result, bacteria can grow quickly and cause cysts or fungal infections. Therefore, it is wise to trust science rather than be greedy for beauty. Remember, not all natural ingredients are your skin’s friend. What’s good for your stomach can be poison for your skin.
