There are many products or household items, about which we apply them on our face even without having the correct information. We do not even think once that this can harm our skin. Is it right to use sugar or even chia seeds on the face? Today we are going to tell you about this topic in this article.
Dermatologist Dr. Aanchal Panth has shared all these things on her Instagram. If you also solve any problem on your face at home using these methods, then stop using them from today itself. What are those things, let’s know. (Photo courtesy: Instagram @dr.aanchal.md)
Does sugar make acne worse?
This is absolutely true. When you have acne on your face and still consume sugar, it increases insulin-like growth factors. It also stimulates hair oil producing glands, which leads to acne and increases the chances of our face becoming worse than before.
Can home remedies reduce pigmentation?
False, home remedies can help moisturize the skin and gently exfoliate but there is no way they can reduce pigmentation on the face or affect pigment formation. So if you try any remedy to remove pigmentation from the face, it will only nourish the skin.
Does lip balm harm your lips?
If you use lip balm to make your lips soft, then it is very important for you to know that lip balm can not only make your lips better but can also make them worse.
Dr. Anchal says that lip balms that contain only humectants or fragrances can dry out the lips. This is also because the ingredients in lip balms with fragrances or flavors increase the habit of licking lips, which makes it worse.
Does massage help in skin tightening?
You all might know the answer to this that yes it happens and you might be massaging yourself, but let us tell you that you are wrong. Yes, loose skin is caused by many changes in the structure of the face, muscles, fat and bones. No cream or massage has any effect on it and the loose skin gets tinted.
Does face yoga reduce wrinkles?
Wrong and you might be surprised to know this truth, but what happens is that unlike the rest of the muscles of the body, where muscles originate and attach to the bone, the muscles of the face attach to the skin. The fibers of the facial muscles are very thin.
In such a situation, although exercise can improve the volume of the cheek muscles, it has no effect on the muscles of the area around the eyes, forehead and mouth. Rather, if you exercise repeatedly, it can make the wrinkles even deeper.
Use of chia seeds on dry skin
There is no need to panic, because using chia seeds on dry skin is very beneficial for the skin. They are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which help repair skin barrier function, reduce inflammation and improve skin moisture.
