DIY beauty hacks that can Ruin your Skin!

For all those out there who are sick of lengthy procedures and just have not got the temperament for them, they always avail the easiest shortcuts placed before them. When it comes to makeup, most of us just do not have the patience for it that is why we sometimes prefer using hacks. These hacks, if done right undoubtedly serve an alternate to the complete makeup process BUT if gone wrong can ruin your skin. So better lengthy than ruined, right?

Let me tell you how some of the hacks result in a complete disaster.

Someone once told me that if you apply talcum powder before the application of lipstick it will last longer and you will be saved from the trouble of re applying it after every hour or so, so I tried it and when I actually wanted to remove it, it just would not come off at any cost so I ended up having colored lips for a day or two.

They say, To avoid clumpy mascara, dust a little powder on the lashes before application but in my case it resulted in eye infection (I would rather prefer a carefully done mascara than having a bloodshot eye).

To get rid of oil on your skin for a day or two some suggest to use a drop or two of liquid dish soap but some end up having blotchy skin because the strong chemicals sometimes reacts out of the blue.

We have heard quite often that baking soda aids relief to many skin imperfections but this is not true as the high alkalinity factor can damage the skin’s natural barrier to foreign particles resulting in acne and other similar problems.

Somebody told me that if apply toothpaste on the pimple overnight, it disappears. This should literally never be done because the toothpaste absorbs the moisture from the skin and leaves dark spots (acne will go away, dark spots will take ages)
