NATURAL SKIN CARE | Dermatologist Review

https://www.instagram.com/drdavinlim/ Instagram- for more skin care tips Short video on the dangers of natural skin care. I realise that lemons have been used to treat skin pigmentation, and to improve skin texture. Dermatologists see the other side of using photosensitive plants on skin. Lemons, limes, figs, celery and many other citrus fruits contain chemicals that are activated by UV light. This causes a ripper of a reaction, leading to blisters and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The later maybe permanent. I am not against natural skin care. In fact over the past decade, dermatologists have been more open minded to the use of botanicals in skin care. Examples include argan oil, bearberry, liquorice, tea tree oil, etc... This video was done to educate and not have a go at natural skin regimes that are popular on social media. Above all, please be safe. Another great video on this topic down below. Lab Muffin is one of Social Media's great educational experts on both Instagram and YouTube, well worth a follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ywDjG_3O_M Thanks for watching. Dr Davin S.
