You saw what NOT to put on your faceβ¦ now letβs talk about what actually works! β¨
β
Instead of Toothpaste:
Use a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid spot treatment to safely dry out pimples.
β
Instead of Lemon Juice:
Try Vitamin C serum β it brightens skin without burning it! π
β
Instead of Baking Soda:
Use a gentle exfoliant with lactic acid or PHA for smoother, glowing skin.
β
Instead of Rubbing Alcohol:
Switch to a fragrance-free toner or micellar water that respects your skin barrier.

Instead of Coconut Oil (for acne-prone skin):
Go for non-comedogenic oils like squalane or h**p seed oil.
