Here are 5 things that can harm your facial skin that you need to avoid during skincare:
1. Hot water
Hot water may feel relaxing and comforting for your body, but it is not good for your facial skin. Hot water can strip away the natural oils of your skin, leading to dry and irritated skin. It can also cause inflammation and exacerbate existing skin conditions such as acne and hyperpigmentation…

Avoid excessive hot water baths if you have oily or acne-prone skin. Especially in the winter, try to use warm water instead of hot water, which will also help alleviate dry skin.
2. Lemon juice
Lemon juice has a high acidity level, with a pH level of 2, and just like sucking on a lemon can erode tooth enamel, using pure lemon directly on your skin can disrupt its balance.
Lemon juice is a commonly used remedy for acne and common hyperpigmentation at home, but it can do more harm than good.
Lemon juice is highly acidic and can cause irritation, redness, and dryness when applied directly to the skin. The acid can also make your skin more sensitive to the sun, leading to skin damage.
3. Sugar scrubs
Sugar scrubs are commonly used for exfoliating the skin, but they can be harmful to your facial skin. The granules in sugar scrubs can cause tiny micro-tears on the skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. Coarse sugar granules can also disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, leaving it dry and sensitive.
4. Toothpaste
Toothpaste has a whitening effect on teeth, but it is not suitable for use on the face. It can dry out the facial skin and cause acne. Moreover, the chemical content in toothpaste can burn the skin, leaving behind dark scars, and worst of all, you have no better way to heal it.

Some people use toothpaste as a quick acne treatment, but it is not suitable for the skin. Toothpaste contains ingredients such as baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and menthol that can cause irritation and dryness. They can also disrupt the skin’s natural pH balance and lead to more acne breakouts.
5. Alcohol-based products like makeup removers and toners
Alcohol-based products like makeup removers, toners, etc., can be harmful to the skin. Alcohol can strip away the natural oils of the skin and disrupt the skin’s pH balance, leading to dry and irritated skin. They can also cause a burning sensation and aggravate existing skin conditions.
