Never Put Calamansi on Your Underarm
Contrary to one of the common myths in underarm skin care, calamansi contains high acidity rates which can trigger darkening on your sensitive skin in the underarm. The underarm contains a thin layer of skin wherein it may lead to skin burning through constant use. Lemon can also be classified under this category as well.
Do Not Skip on Sunblock on a Rainy Day
Just because it looks dark outside, it does not mean our skin is safe from the sun. Even on a rainy day, the UV rays that the sun releases does not stop. The clouds do not block the harmful UV rays that pierce the skin which can still lead to the darkening and aging of skin because of the sun.
Avoid Popping Your Pimple
Let us face it, pimples are irritating to see on your skin. You always think about popping it because you hate looking at it. No matter how irritating it looks, popping a pimple can lead to scarring or darkening of the popped area which can affect how your affected skin will look in the coming days.
Never Crush Oral Antibiotics and Place it on Your Wound
Using medication should be used as directed to maximize its effectiveness. Oral antibiotics such as tablets and pills are made for consumption by mouth. There are topical antibiotics such as ointments and creams that can be used for skin.
Do not Force Peel Your Scab When Wounded
Wound hurts. Peeling the scab also hurts. Even though you may find it satisfying, you are not doing your skin and yourself any favor by removing scabs. Scabs act like a temporary band-aid or protection for your wound. Removing scabs can lead to increased risk of infections plus it also does not make your skin aesthetically pleasing.
