This makes the skin become fragile, easily irritated and peeled off, especially very sensitive when exposed to UV rays.
Sugar or salt mask
Sugar or salt are often used by many women to exfoliate the whole body, but are not suitable for facial skin. Applying masks or exfoliating from sugar or salt to the face is very easy to dry out, scratch or cause more inflammatory acne.
Facial skin is much thinner and more sensitive than body skin, which will make the stage of applying masks or exfoliating from sugar and salt not safe and difficult to protect the natural barrier of the skin.
Fresh garlic mask
Fresh garlic masks are said to have high antibacterial properties, supporting acne reduction. However, applying fresh garlic directly to the skin will cause many potential risks. Garlic contains allicin, which is very easy to cause strong irritation, causing skin burning, redness and contact dermatitis... Instead of treating acne or cleaning, garlic can make the skin condition worse, difficult to restore, and increase the risk of leaving dark spots and scars.
To make the masking process from natural ingredients more effective, housewives should carefully research the ingredients and effects before choosing to use them. Prioritize safe and scientific beauty methods to avoid damage to your skin.
