What are the dangers of homemade facial cream

I don’t know when it started, but everyone started to like making their own facial creams. Many recipes for homemade facial creams appeared on the Internet. At the same time, many online sales platforms also started selling raw materials for homemade facial creams. Some buyers also bought some already made homemade facial creams. So is this symptom cream safe? Now let’s find out what are the dangers of homemade facial cream.

1. The sterilization process is not guaranteed

Homemade cosmetics have thus become a fashionable consumption in China and have quickly become popular in major cities. Some people may think that they know the contents and ingredients of homemade cosmetics best and can use them with more confidence. But people ignore the fact that these beauty products are already full of bacteria during the homemade process.

Most people use regular tap water to wash containers, and although tap water is strictly regulated for E. coli, it does not mean it is completely sterile. And mixed with oil or plant juice, it will inadvertently provide rich nutrients to the bacteria, causing the bacteria to multiply in an instant.

In this way, even a small number of harmless bacteria can have a strong destructive effect on the skin and cause harm to the human body.

For this reason, handmade cosmetics can be said to be a breeding ground for bacteria. If you do not realize this and apply rotten and moldy homemade cosmetics on your face, the consequences will be serious.

2. “Natural” may cause allergies

In the opinion of dermatologists, there are still many taboos in homemade cosmetics. For example, although fruits and vegetables are pure plants and do not contain any preservatives or chemical ingredients, they cannot be applied directly on the face. For people with sensitive skin, they may cause irritation, redness and other allergic symptoms.

Some photosensitive fruits and vegetables, such as celery, lemon, and pineapple, contain vitamin C, which has a whitening effect. However, when they come into direct contact with the skin surface and are exposed to sunlight, they will cause solar dermatitis, leading to symptoms such as redness, swelling, papules, and blisters on the face.

3. Which skin care products can be made at home?

Cosmetics are generally divided into cleansing, skin care, and functional types. Whether it is purely natural or purely handmade, it is not suitable for applying cosmetics that stay on the face for a long time, or making some facial masks. In other words, it is best not to touch the latter two. As for some simple facial cleansers, soaps, etc., it is still a good idea to make them by hand occasionally.
