10 Things You Should Never Apply On Your Face
The face is one of the most important parts of the body, if not the most important. It is also the part of the body that people notice first.
More often than not people always get pressured because they want their face to be as flawless as possible.
While doing this people often go overboard and apply products that are meant to go on the face maybe because they’ve seen a certain beauty blogger do it.
You are probably reading this article because you’ve seen or heard that certain items are bad for your face. I am here to address any questions you might have while also detailing the products that could be harmful to your face.
THINGS YOU SHOULD AVOID PUTTING ON YOUR FACE
BODY LOTION
I’ve seen a lot of folks make this mistake; body lotion is called body lotion for a reason.
The skin on the face is delicate and easily inflamed. This is why you should avoid applying body lotion to your face.
Skincare brands regularly create separate products for the face and body; skincare brands like Makari, go so far as to state on their products that their body lotion should not be used on the face since it can damage the face’s delicate skin.
SOLUTION: Invest in a face cream that is designed exclusively for the face for your facial care routine
LEMON
If you’re a DIY enthusiast, I’m sure you’ve tried using lemon on your face; however, I have some excellent news for you: please stop before it’s too late to fix it.
Yes, lemons have a lot of vitamin C, which is good for your health, but putting lemon directly on your face is a horrible idea; lemons often cause more harm than good in the long run.
Lemon has a molecule called Psoralen, which makes your skin light sensitive. So, after using lemon, going out in the sun may aggravate your skin. A chemical burn could also occur as a result of this.
SOLUTION; stop using lemon on your face
TOOTHPASTE
Whoever started this trend needs to be given a certain amount of jail term. Toothpaste is intended to maintain oral hygiene and, of course, contains substances that are damaging to the skin.
Using toothpaste as a remedy for blackheads became popular on social media but dermatologists have warned against the harm that it can cause.
EXPIRED SUNSCREEN
Expiration dates are written on products for a reason, Some ingredients used in skincare products have a tendency to deteriorate over time. When products become stale, they become damaging to the skin.
SOLUTION: I strongly advise that you down away your sunscreen when it expires
WAXING
Waxing is a great option to keep hair off the body, waxing is a great option to keep hair off your armpit and other private parts of the body but that’s not the case for the face.
Waxing the hair on the face, which is particularly delicate, can result in sun damage, ingrown hair, rashes, and other facial damage.
COCONUT OIL
I’m sure you’re wondering how coconut oil ended up on this list. If you have oily skin, you should pay close attention to this section of the article because coconut oil is not advised for oily skin.
Although persons with various skin types may be immune to the hazards of coconut, I nevertheless recommend that you avoid using it in your facial skincare routine.
Coconut oil is high in saturated fat, which can clog your pores. Coconut oil is an excellent cure for dry skin and eczema, but please, for the love of God, keep it away from your face.
HOT WATER
I have written in this article countless times how delicate the facial skin is, hence the reason you shouldn’t use hot water to wash your face.
Hot water can strip the moisture on your face leaving your face looking oil and dry.
SOLUTION: I strongly advise you to wash your face with lukewarm water; in fact, lukewarm water helps your facial wash penetrate deeply into the skin, allowing it to increase its efficiency.
BAR SOAP
Bar soaps include harsh substances that can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, dull, and irritating.
SOLUTION: Get a face wash that is designed exclusively for the face for your facial care routine these washes are mild on the skin.
MAYONNAISE
Mayonnaise is a delightful food component that adds flavor to bread, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. It’s also a terrific choice for hair DIYs, but I strongly warn you to keep it away from your face because it includes substances that are harmful to your skin.
DEODORANT
Some beauty experts suggest that deodorant can be used as a face primer to prolong the length of your makeup. Deodorant is used to keep the armpit dry, the skin on the face and the skin on the underarm are vastly different.
Deodorant contains components that might be detrimental to the face, and the skin under the arm is thicker than the skin on the face.
To Sum up
Your face is a very sensitive part of the body that should be treated with special care because of its delicate nature.
I suggest that you should use products that are made specifically for the face for your facial care routine
