In today's world, the Internet is an inexhaustible source of advice of varying degrees of usefulness. But some beauty secrets can lead to negative consequences. Be careful with these hacks and don't try it again.
Treatment of acne with toothpaste
A very popular tip on the Internet: apply toothpaste to inflammation. Menthol and alcohol contained in some pastes can really dry out a pimple because they have an antibacterial effect. But not all toothpastes are suitable for this, and they are definitely not able to cure acne. But it is easy to cause irritation, an allergic reaction, even a burn. It is even more risky to make a face mask from paste - yes, yes, such tips are also found.
Getting rid of split ends with manicure scissors
The method is tentatively called hair polishing. Brittle and dry strands are twisted into a bundle and the ends sticking out of it are cut off with ordinary or manicure scissors. The effect is as short-lived as possible. After a week, there will be twice as many split ends, and the hair will begin to split even more. The fact is that the quality of the cut directly depends on the sharpening of the scissors. But even with a professional tool at home, you are unlikely to be able to solve the problem.
Hair masks with pepper and mustard
Masks from the refrigerator are still popular, including with the addition of burning ingredients. They are suggested to be applied to the roots of the hair and kept for 15 minutes. Yes, mustard and red pepper stimulate blood circulation, but they also irritate the scalp and can provoke redness, peeling and an allergic reaction.
Teeth whitening with soda and hydrogen peroxide
Everyone dreams of a snow-white smile for a million, but not everyone wants to spend money on professional whitening. A hellish mixture of soda, hydrogen peroxide and citric acid, which must be applied to the teeth for 10 minutes, comes to the rescue. The fact that these aggressive components destroy the enamel and irritate the mucous membranes in the mouth is kept silent for some reason.
Eye makeup with a marker
The singer Taylor Swift once said that it is very convenient to draw arrows on the eyes with a regular marker. She immediately found many followers. But the markers contain alcohol, which dries the delicate skin of the eyelids, can cause irritation and problems when it gets into the eyes.
Lip augmentation by vacuum method
A free way to increase the volume of lips is also very popular on the Internet. A round container, for example, a glass, is applied to the lips, a vacuum is created and edema is formed. But here is the truth that beauty bloggers do not reveal. When using this method, there is a high probability of redness and hematomas in the area of the lips. And the effect lasts about 5 minutes.
Fixation of makeup with hairspray
To extend the durability of makeup, beauty bloggers suggest using regular hairspray. But intelligent people, even without a lecture on the chemical composition of varnish, understand that it threatens irritation, redness and rashes on the skin of the face.
Skin whitening with lemon juice
To get rid of pigment spots and lighten the complexion, it is suggested to make a mask with citrus juice. But citric acid is very drying to the skin and can cause a burn. Likewise, lemon juice should not be added to oil and applied to nails to strengthen and whiten them. Lemon will dry the cuticle, the skin of the hands and the nail plate, the nails will become brittle and brittle, instead of white and strong. Also, don't forget that lemon is the strongest allergen.
Using coconut oil instead of face cream
Today, more and more women are choosing natural cosmetics, which include vegetable oils. But dermatologists categorically do not recommend applying coconut oil to the face. It leaves a greasy shine, clogs pores, which can lead to acne. This oil is more suitable for rough skin of legs and hands.
