🥗 Your Face ≠ Salad Bowl 🥗 (Let’s keep the kitchen in the kitchen, folks 😄) Sure, grandma’s recipes are full of love, but not all kitchen ingredients love your skin back. 🌿 Aloe vera – Can soothe, but raw gel may trigger rashes in some. 🌾 Besan – Too much = dry, tight skin + damaged barrier. 🧈 Butter – Better on toast than your T-zone; clogs pores. 🥥 Coconut oil – Good for hair/body, not oily/acne-prone faces. ✨ Turmeric – Anti-inflammatory, but can cause stains & irritation. 🌱 Tea tree oil – Potent antiseptic, but must be diluted; pure form burns skin. 🧅 Onion – Mild scar-fading effect in creams, but raw onion burns & irritates. 🧄 Garlic – Strong antimicrobial, but raw use = chemical burns! 🍃 Neem leaves – Antibacterial, but paste can cause allergic reactions. 💡 Takeaway: “Natural” isn’t automatically gentle. Skin safety depends on concentration, skin type, and preparation. Patch test everything before using on face. Your skin is precious—treat it with evidence, not just tradition. 🩺💬 💡 Derm Tip: Your skin’s pH, barrier, and microbiome are delicate. Not everything from your spice rack belongs in your skincare rack. 📌 Test, research, and when in doubt—ask your dermatologist, not your recipe book. #DermTips #SkinFacts #KitchenMyths #NaturalSkincare #SkinScience
