These Five things NEVER Put On Your Face

 You may be surprised that there are certain things that you may think are good for your face. I help health-conscious women over 30 look their best by teaching them a holistic approach to health and beauty and today I'm gonna go over with you my five top things that you should never put on your face and I bet you're gonna be surprised as some of the things that I have on my top five list of things to avoid on your face well let's start.

1-Bar Soap

    I'm a guy you know I have applied I've used bar soap to cleanse the skin of my face countless times like most other men and probably most other women but bar soap is not good to wash your face with bar soap is very drying to your skin and it often contains sodium lauryl sulfate now this is a substance that causes the soap to lather really well because we like lathering don't we well, unfortunately, that same lathering substance can really really dry your skin so use bar soap on your body if you want but keep it away from your face well. 

2-Petroleum Jelly

 you may have had it applied by your mother or your grandmother onto your face or your lips and it was seen and has been seen for a long time as the ultimate natural moisturizer well take a look at what it is jelly isn't so bad but petroleum it was actually discovered at the bottom of basically petroleum barrels and this is where it comes from and this is not good for your skin it can also clog your pores it's very occlusive so if you've got any history of any type of acne not good to put on your skin so stay away from petroleum jelly honestly over your whole body there are some natural ones made of beeswax that I would go with instead of petroleum.

3-Body moisturizer 

 body moisturizer is great for your body but not so great for your face and like petroleum jelly body moisturizer can clog your pores it can cause you to break out now you can go to the store and you can buy body moisturizer in these big bottles for just a few dollars as long as it doesn't contain harmful ingredients with enforcement which unfortunately a lot of them do then it's not a bad idea to use that for your body but for your face stick with a good facial moisturizer, we have one in my line Yoon Beauty which is made with natural organic ingredients called the calming antioxidant moisturizer it's a great moisturizer for your face does not clog your pores and has antioxidants in it so use a moisturizer like that one made for your face, not one made for your body. 

4- Rubbing alcohol

 

 Now astringent you may have heard of that or toners often contain alcohol in it and it gives this same feeling as rubbing alcohol on your skin and that feeling basically is a nice clean squeaky-clean colder type of a feel and it feels good to put it on your skin but what it does basically is it rubs off all of the oils of your skin and there are people who have real oily skin they have acne issues excess sebum and they think that using rubbing alcohol orastringent can get rid of that oil but what happens is is it gets rid of the oil temporarily but then your skin realizes that it's missing oil and it creates even more oil in response and so what can happen is you can get into this vicious cycle where if you've got oily skin and you're using rubbing alcohol or astringent sort owners with alcohol that your skin actually gets more and more oily so stay away from it interestingly enough a lot of people have oily skin do really well with oil cleansing cleansing your skin with oils and that's something we're gonna cover in a different blog so stay away from rubbing alcohol stay away from astringent sand toners that are filled with alcohol as well.  

5-sperm facials

That are very popular people literally sell sperm facials for hundreds and hundreds of dollars and there is this belief that applying SEMA more sperm basically to your skin is actually good for it well the reality is probably pretty far from that people say well because it contains antioxidants it's good for the skin I mean marginally but we really haven't tested just how much antioxidants are in that the other thing is that people say well it contains a lot of protein well meat contains a lot of protein as well and and we don't necessarily apply meat to our skin do we and the other thing with semen and sperm basically is that it contains often well sometimes I guess depending on the company that you keep it can contain sexually transmitted diseases and so chlamydia of your eye is not so fun so this is something it's kind of funny once again there are places that have these types of facials but it's not necessarily something that I would use as a beauty product so I hope that this has been educational for you.
