If you are someone who loves to DIY face masks at home, then you must be absolutely sure of what ingredients you use to prepare it.

Thanks to all skincare influencers we’ve wisely switched to chemical-free ingredients. Our tendency to be natural, more than our conscience, has compelled us to do so. Undoubtedly, the trend of DIY face masks has increased in recent times, as many people opt for fancy brands. Well, that’s fair enough as they are extremely easy to make and have innumerable health benefits without any side effects. But this isn’t always true.

If you are someone who loves to DIY face masks at home, then you must be absolutely sure of what ingredients you use to prepare it. There are tons of trends on social media that assure you that you will reap the benefits of the various ingredients present in the kitchen if included in your skincare routine. But it is not necessary that what works for them should also work for you. Not only this, but there are some kitchen ingredients which are being claimed to be miraculous on social media but in reality, they can spell disasters if included in your skin care.

  1. Vegetable oil
    There are some who have claimed that adding vegetable oil to their skin care routine has produced great results in terms of providing moisture. But using vegetable oil on your skin can completely destroy it for you. On the surface, it can bring moisture but deep down it can clog your pores, resulting in acne and blemishes.
  2. Apple vinegar
    Countless videos have surfaced on social media recommending apple cider vinegar to help remove blackheads. This is completely wrong, as apple cider vinegar is highly acidic in nature and can result in terrible problems with your natural skin. It doesn’t end here, it can also cause chemical burns on your skin if you overuse it.
  3. Garam Masala
    Garam masala is prepared by mixing different spices. While these ingredients have amazing results if consumed in food, the combination can be extremely harmful to your face. Since this combination of spices is hot in nature, it is quite possible that it may cause irritation and rash on your skin.
