Natural ingredients you really need to steer clear of!

We've all been trying out various DIYs ever since we got stuck at home due to the lockdown. After all, what is one supposed to do cooped in all day? But while it may seem like fun to make different concoctions and try them on your skin and hair, it can also be dangerous if you use ingredients that aren't as good for you as you think. So, if you're planning on experimenting with DIYs, make sure to steer clear of using these natural ingredients in them.

-Lemons, lime or grapefruit: These are supposed to be brightening agents but actually they can end up drying out your skin and can even lead to severe inflammation issues.

-Turmeric: Your parents and every other Indian aunty in the world will have you believe that turmeric is the solution to all your beauty woes. But that's not really true. It can make your skin extremely sensitive to not just inflammation but even sun exposure. Oh, and also, you end up looking yellow.

-Raw apple cider vinegar: Please don't apply raw apple cider vinegar to your skin, it will literally burn your skin. That's how acidic it is. Always, always dilute it first and even then do a patch test before you apply it to your skin.

Make absolutely sure that you're not using these natural ingredients on your skin or hair or else you might have to end up going to the doctor for whole new issues. Stay tuned for more updates.
