Medical Video: 33 HOMEMADE REMEDIES THAT REALLY WORK
There are various festive ways to take care of the skin at home. One of them uses a DIY face mask (do-it-yourself) which is formulated with natural ingredients. In addition to being claimed to be effective in relieving a variety of disruptive skin problems, natural facial mask concoctions are also considered safer and do not cause harmful side effects. However, is this really true?
A powerful natural mask is not necessarily effective for everyone
I think that's a myth, huh. Only limited to the advice of ancestors who are still trusted by Indonesians today.So far, the evidence of the benefits of natural masks is only limited to stories of experience, aka anecdotal or suggestion.
In terms of medical science, there are no scientific studies that can really prove about the workings, safety, benefits, and efficacy of natural masks to deal with various skin problems. The reason is that many natural mask recipes circulating in the community are not known where the source is. These recipes also vary greatly in size, following who made it.
Moreover, the benefits of every natural ingredient that is made into a skin care mask have also not been scientifically proven.
In some people who have normal skin or mild complaints, these masks may be useful. However, in other people who may have more severe or complex skin problems, the use of natural masks can irritate their skin, which aggravates their condition.
Is it safe?
Again, the security and effectiveness of natural masks have not been proven validly by science.
What you need to pay attention to,some natural ingredients are actually not recommended to be applied directly to the skin. Especially the acidic ones lime and lemon.
Although both have good antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties skin health, the citrus family which contains high enough acid (pH 2) can cause skin irritation if it is smeared directly into the skin, even causing a rash and possibly chemical burns. Especially if your skin is sensitive.
In addition to lemon, some natural ingredients that should not be used directly on the skin are apple cider, garlic, baking soda, and turmeric.
The right way if you want to use a natural face mask
I do not justify or support the use of natural face masks, because there is no evidence of its efficacy. But if you want to try, I recommend using ingredients that are not irritating.
The principle is trial and error, aka trial and error. If using a natural mask turns out to aggravate the condition of your skin, please stop immediately, no longer need to be used. Don't insist on wearing a natural mask, even though your skin condition gets worse.
Also, don't use face masks too often. You should only have it once a week. The use of facial masks that are too often can actually make your skin dry and prone to peeling.
Well, first consult a dermatologist
Basically, the best way to deal with various skin problems is to use treatments that have proven effective.
If you have skin problems that are unnatural or even bother you, don't hesitate to consult a dermatologist. A dermatologist will determine the right treatment according to your condition.
Remember, even though the mask that you make uses natural ingredients, it's not necessarily safe for your skin.
