Skincare hacks and face glow tips are rife on social media today, with so many people claiming to be able to give glowing skin with easy home remedies. This is why I thought it would be smart to test one or two of these hacks and find out which ones are helpful. Here are my findings.

 Hacks That Worked

 Honey and Lemon Mask

 The most frequently used face mask is the honey and lemon mask. Using honey and lemon juice as a face mask left my skin looking radiant; I left it on my face for 15 minutes. As for the honey, it more than made up for this misstep of leaving it too long by acting as a skin-softening moisturizer; on the lemon’s end, it brightened the skin by treating the dark spots. In a few weeks, the skin became radiant, and my skin’s texture became softer because of the scrub’s regular use.

 Aloe Vera Gel

 Another skin care tips and tricks involve using the aloe vera gel. When I applied fresh aloe vera gel on my face from the plant, my skin became relieved and was not easily irritated. This was particularly useful when one wanted to reduce an outbreak of acne on the skin. I combined it as a daily skincare routine and found my skin becoming better in texture and more supple.

 Green Tea Toner

 Another thing that impressed me is using green tea as a toner, which is a suitable hack for me. Indeed, I brewed a cup of green tea, left it to cool, and applied it as a toner daily. The effects of the paste were excellent: It made my skin feel tighter and minimized the pore size. This hack is suitable for anyone needing home remedies for glowing skin.

Ice Cube Rub

Another thing that worked for me was rubbing an ice cube on my face after my routine has finished– it always made me feel so fresh and cool, and scientifically speaking, the cold tightens your pores so that the products will be locked in your skin. Overall, very good and effective in my opinion.

 Hacks That Didn’t Work

 Toothpaste on Pimples

 There are many posts out there, and some of them recommend applying toothpaste to pimples to help them dry. Still, this trick did not apply to me, as the toothpaste on my face caused my skin to become even more red and the pimple to be even bigger. I would not recommend this method because it could be severe.

 Baking Soda Scrub

 Another popular advice is to use baking soda as a scrub. It was supposed to give me soft skin as it exfoliates, but it was too harsh on my skin; it appeared red and sensitive. I do not recommend this hack as it may upset the normal skin pH level; baking soda is abrasive.

 Coconut Oil as Moisturizer

 Some suggest coconut oil is good for the skin since it is natural. However, it made my skin break out. The thing is, the oil made my skin all clogged up and led to the formation of pimples, added to the fact that this is a comedogenic that can clog pores; I would not recommend this,

 Conclusion

 Not all tips and advice on the internet regarding skincare are helpful. Honey and lemon masks, aloe vera gel, and green tea toner positively affect the skin. Preliminary steps to determine the effectiveness of some of these natural miracles you apply on the skin may even do more harm than good if not well prepared. Of course, different individuals should find out what’s ideal for their skin and experiment to see the helpful options.
