All thanks to lockdown, home remedies and DIY skincare recipes are trending these days. More people are also preferring homemade products rather than commercial cosmetic products. But, be careful while using homemade skincare remedies as not all kitchen ingredients are 100% safe for your skin, specially your face. And this is especially true in case of face scrubs. Even if you don’t have a sensitive skin, the skin on your face is much thinner and delicate than the skin on your body. Therefore, you shouldn’t risk over-using the harsh products on your face as they may cause side-effects. So, if you swear by homemade products and keep experimenting with new ingredients and packs on your face then, here are some abrasive and harsh kitchen products which you should avoid. Using these products may cause redness, rashness and itchiness on your face and you might unconsciously be harming your skin more than you’re helping it. Take a look at 5 natural ingredients which are a big no-no when it comes to scrubbing your face with them.

Lemon: Lemon contains citric acid and tends to have more side effects than benefits for the skin. Skin irritation is the most common skin condition which occurs after using fruit acids. Lemon may also result in excessive dryness, redness, and peeling of your skin. This makes it a risky DIY option for home skin care.
