DIY Skincare you still need to try

Since the beginning of lockdown, there has been a rise in DIY skincare, many people have been trying beauty hacks that they could add into their skincare routine, however, when using DIY skincare it is important to tread with caution because not every food item is made to be used for the skin. For instance, according to dermatologists, using lemon to brighten scars and fade scars can leave your skin feeling extra sensitive to sunlight, leaving you with blisters or a rash.

However, some may prefer to use DIY skincare products over commercial skincare products because some commercial skincare products contain ingredients that can turn out to be very harsh on the skin and they use very minimal organic and botanical ingredients like argan oil, marula oil, or green tea extract.

Here are a few DIY skincare items that are recommended by dermatologists but before you apply anything on your face make sure that you do a patch test and you do this by placing the product on your arm and leave it for a few minutes. If you don’t get any bad reactions, you can go ahead and use the product.
