“Natural” doesn’t always mean “safe for everyone.” For example: • Essential oils are natural, but overuse can irritate or damage the skin barrier • Coconut oil works for some, but can be comedogenic or feel drying for others • Fresh aloe vera gel is soothing, but spoils quickly and may cause reactions which is why preserved aloe vera gel is usually safer for regular DIY skincare use 👉 What makes a product skin-friendly isn’t whether it’s “fresh” or “natural” It’s about formulation, stability, and skin condition. In DIY beauty, less is more: - Short ingredient lists - Gentle, well-balanced formulas - Ingredients chosen with intention, not trends😉 It’s always good to practice a skin patch test before using any new ingredient or product, even if it’s natural, to ensure your skin isn’t allergic or sensitive to it. 💁‍♀️Which ingredient have you been most cautious with?
