Not Always Good, These 5 Natural Ingredients Can Damage The Skin If Often Used For Maintenance

JAKARTA - Face care is quite common for women. Starting from buying local to international branded skincare products, everything is tried only for the sake of getting healthy skin. However, there are also those who prefer to use natural ingredients because they are believed to be more effective than the chemicals contained in various facial care products sold.

But unfortunately, not all natural ingredients are good for the face. There are several natural ingredients that can actually irritate the face if used regularly. What are these ingredients? See more as quoted by VOI from Healthline, Friday, July 26.

Egg White is often used as a mask because it is believed to tighten and smooth facial pores. In fact, the benefits will be lost when you rinse the residue. One of the problems that can be obtained if you use egg white is Salmonella contamination. By placing raw eggs around the face or too close to the mouth can be at risk of contracting digestive tract infection.

Nipical orange or lemon water is associated with its function of removing hyperpigmentation or black stains on the face. In fact, the use of oranges can cause serious problems such as burns of degree two.

Psoralen in lemons and limes can cause phototoxic reactions to the skin when exposed to UV light. That means your efforts to fade red spots can result in a large drop in the face.

The cinnamon mask became famous for its ability to clean the skin. However, not everyone fits this spice. Some people who tried to treat the face with cinnamon suffered burns.

Although cinnamon has some antimicrobial benefits and is used in wound healing, this spice can lead to the risk of allergies. Even if you don't have allergies to cinnamon, you may still be hypersensitive to spices on the skin or have burns from cinnamon oil.

Breastfeeding facial treatments have become a trend in recent years to treat acne. Breast milk contains lactic and laurat acid, both of which have the healing benefits of skin and antimicrobials which according to several studies help skin susceptible to acne.

The most serious potential of breast milk is body fluids that can transmit disease, and improper collection or storage can cause bacterial infection.

Apple essence (ACV) is touted as the best Astringen that can be made on its own. Users claim this vinegar helps clean acne, fade scars or spots of aging, and even remove flies.

The use of apple juice vinegar in the long term and not diluted can damage the face due to its very high acid levels. Cuka can be caustic if left on the skin, and should not be used to treat wounds.

Any acne wound risks causing severe burns or irritation. In addition, using apple juice vinegar as a facial product can be harmful to the eye. If you hit your eyes, you can experience inflammation or even burn the cornea.
