8 Popular Beauty Hacks Dermatologists Want You To Avoid

1. Skip the Sunscreen Cocktail

Sunscreen must be uniformly dispersed and applied to the skin in order to offer the SPF protection indicated.

2. Break Up With Your Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C serums have lately become popular, and while many dermatologists laud and suggest them for everyday usage, they can induce acne.

3. Leave Microneedling To The Professionals

During the epidemic, at-home microneedling kits were popular. Dermatologists, however, concur that they can be more detrimental than beneficial.

4. Ditch The Pore Vacuum

During the epidemic, at-home microneedling kits were popular. Dermatologists, however, concur that they can be more detrimental than beneficial.

5. Put The At-Home Injections Away

When you see influencers using at-home lip fillers and hyaluronic acid serum injections on social media, they appear simple and painless. However, experts warn that this beauty tip could be hazardous.

6. Stop Slugging

Slugging—moisturizing the skin with Vaseline or Aquaphor—is fun and effective. For exceptionally dry and eczema-prone skin, it hydrates well in fall and winter.

7. Don't Top That Zit With Toothpaste

Using toothpaste to dry out a pimple is maybe the oldest beauty trick in the book, and it is quick and easy. It can, however, be drying and irritating to the skin.

8. Stay Away From Salt And Sugar Scrubs

Although salt and sugar scrubs appear natural and luxurious, they are not without hazards. These abrasive products, however, can produce microtears in the skin, increasing the risk of infection and inflammation.
