Have a pimple? Want to give your skin a more youthful glow?
Then, why not use cooking oil!
…Wait! Not so fast, before you employ any random home remedy or old wives tale to address your skin care matters, placing the wrong ingredients on your skin may have disastrous effect.
If you’re still looking to figure out what’s hot and what’s not for your skin, this article will guide you through three popular “old wives tales”:
1. Lemon as a skin whitener
Although lemon is rich in Vitamin C and is wonderful disinfectant, it’s bleaching effect – though effective – is not noticeable, especially on the skin. Not only will it take too much time to produce any noticeable results, but lemon’s acidic properties when used in extreme amounts may dry out skin. Rather than go through the long ardous process of using lemon as a skin whitening agent, why not use a gentle yet fast and effective product such as the Diana Stalder Surely White Body Whitening Lotion, Diana Stalder Surely White Whitening Cream (for the face) or invest in the complete Diana Stalder Surely White Whitening Regimen Kit.
2. Vegetable Cooking Oil as a moisturizer
Although some oils, such as virgin olive oil and coconut oil, when used in moderation, are beneficial and helpful for dry skin, other cooking products such as canola or vegetable oil often causes irritation and breakouts. Rather than experiment on your skin (which is the last place you should experiment with questionable ingredients on), use the safe and effective Diana Stalder Nourishing Creme or the Diana Stalder Skin Moisturizing Lotion instead.
3. Petroleum Jelly to reduce wrinkles
Petroleum Jelly contains butylene glycol, propylene, petrolateum and mineral oil that can be toxic. Though Petroleum Jelly is well-known for temporarily soothing dry, there is no evidence that it reduces wrinkles or even, aids dry skin in the long-run. Rather than locking in the moisture, Petroleum Jelly merely coats the outer layer of the skin. Don’t coat yourself in grease! Use the Diana Stalder SBF Collagen Cream or better yet, the Diana Stalder Surely White Anti-Wrinkle Kit for a clean, healthy youthful glow.
