BAKINGSODA
Baking soda has a pH level of 9, which makes it way to acidic for the
sensitive skin on your face. The result could be irritation and dryness.

RETINYLPALMITATE
While this type of vitamin A works great in night creams, it is
suspected to speed up tumor growth when exposed to sunlight.

LEMONJUICE
This is often used for removing dark spots. However, it may burn your
skin. There are safer natural options available - get them here.

LIMEJUICE
Just like lemon juice, lime is a photosensitizer that can cause burns
when you spend time in the sun. Better use safer alternatives.

HAIRSPRAY
Hairspray is made with solvents, glues, polymers and propellants that
will dry out your skin, clog your pores, and cause irritation.

FRAGRANCE
Artificial fragrances can contain any number of chemicals, and have
been known to cause allergic reactions, irritation, and illness.

TOOTHPASTE
Toothpaste contains harsh chemical ingredients, which is why you
should never apply it to acne. Learn about the research here.

PETROLEUMJELLY
While petroleum jelly seals in moisture, it also seals in dirt, which
leads to breakouts. On top of that, it also contains toxic chemicals.

OTHERPETROCHEMICALS
Watch out for beauty products that are labeled "water repellant":
they usually contain petroleum distillates, mineral oils, and paraffins.

HOTWATER
Hot water can zap moisture from your skin, which causes an increase
in oil production to compensate the loss, leading to breakouts.

BODYLOTION
The skin on your face is more delicate than the rest of your body, so
using conventional body lotion on your face could cause breakouts.

VITAMINPILLS
Crushing vitamin pills and using them to exfoliate your face can
harm your skin due to their sharp edges. Better read this FREE guide.

RUBBINGALCOHOL
While rubbing alcohol can kill bacteria, it can also kill healthy skin
cells and over-dry your skin, leading to irritation or dermatitis.

VEGETABLESHORTENING
Yes, someone out there recommends this, but vegetable shortening's
thickness makes it likely to clog your pores and cause breakouts.

SUGAR
Sugar granules' sharp edges will leave tiny cuts on the sensitive skin
of your face, leading to invisible tears and premature aging.

SALT,GROUNDNUTS&COFFEE
Anything with tiny, sharp edges will simply cause more harm than
good to the gentle skin of your face.

HAIRDYE
Hair dyes can mess with your lymph system and harm your health.

SHAMPOO
The ingredients in your shampoo weren't designed for the sensitive
skin on your face, especially not harsh chemicals like SLS.

HAIRSERUM
Hair serums often include synthetic fragrances that could seriously
irritate your skin. Better keep them off your face.

VINEGAR
Vinegar is a strong acid (low pH), meaning that it is corrosive and
could harm delicate skin by causing burns.

DEODORANT
Please DON'T put deodorant on your face to prevent makeup from
melting on a hot day. Its ingredients are too harsh for your face.

FOOTCREAM
These creams are extremely thick, and will clog your pores.
They are also very sticky, which invites dirt to stick to your skin.

MAKEUPWITHALUMINUM
Research has shown that aluminum is toxic, especially with regard to
your nervous system. It's best to avoid products that contain it.

MAYONNAISE
Some folks recommend mayonnaise for the face due to its egg
content. But it is too acidic, and could also cause breakouts.

NAILPOLISH
The ingredients in nail polish are something you should read about in
full. Keep this stuff off your face - read the research findings here.

CRAYON
Most crayons are made from paraffin wax, which is a petroleum
product that shouldn't be used on your face.

HYDROGENPEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide should not be used to treat acne because
it can cause burning, blisters, allergic reactions, and inflammation.

PARABENS
The biggest problem with parabens is that they imitate the hormone
estrogen, and can be harmful to both men and women.

FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde is a suspected carcinogen. Its short-term effects also
include watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, nausea, and skin irritation.

CONVENTIONAL LIP BALM
Some of the standard ingredients include petrolatum, mineral oil,
paraffin (all petroleum products), fragrance, alcohol, and parabens.
