These over-the-counter gadgets promise needle-free plumping by blasting hyaluronic acid into your skin with high-pressure air.
Sounds cool, but theyre super risky.
This method bypasses professional techniques that ensure proper placement and safety.
Skip the shortcuts and go to a pro for better, safer results.
Skip the intense scrubbing and wiping and reach for a gentle cleanser, instead.
Overusing castor oil can cause infection and styes to form.
Still, you want to confirm youre using it the right way.
This step can really benefit anyone with sensitive or oily skin so they maintain their skins health.
Whatever you do, dont scrub it off with a dry cloth.

Antibacterial cleansers claim to nix germs for a squeaky clean complexion.
You dont actually want or need a squeaky clean face!
These products, especially when overused, can strip your skin and disrupt your microbiome.
Canola oil is not one of them.
Additionally, it lacks the scientifically backed benefits of skincare-specific oils, such as jojoba or squalane.
