It's definitely good to go all organic, but it can be dangerous at times. And even though the DIY tutorials look fascinating, not all of them work for everyone and some can do more harm than good. Here are a few home remedies and herbs that you should not experiment with. 1. Tooth paste to cure pimples. An age old remedy to dry out pimples, but it doesn’t work for everyone. The science behind this is that toothpaste contains baking soda and makes pimples die down quickly. But the added chemicals like alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and menthol can irritate the skin and might even react badly. So it's advisable to visit the doctor and not experiment at home. 2. Butter on your skin to cure burns. Don’t fall for this one at all. Butter can actually encourage the bacteria to grow and even accelerate the infection further instead of healing it. The best thing to do is to wash the burnt area in cold water and apply antibiotic on it. 3. A DIY scrub is a no-no. When you scrub your face with nuts or sugar the jagged edges of these ingredients can create microtears in the skin and can even leave it bruised. 4. Egg white masks. With the egg based masks the major risk is to catch salmonella. And if it gets in your mouth, you can end up falling sick. Also there is no scientific proof that it tightens your skin for good. 5. Petroleum jelly for vaginal dryness. According to a study journal Obstetrics & Gynecology a lot of women use petroleum jelly instead of the traditional lube. According to the experiment these women were at higher risk of getting bacterial infections in that area, caused by imbalance of ph levels.
