Aanchal is telling about those things which are harmful for the skin and what things can be used in their place. Let us know important things related to skin care. (Photo courtesy: Instagram: @dr.aanchal.md)Exfoliation called a red flagDr Aanchal explains that although exfoliation is a great way to get rid of dead skin and make your skin look younger and brighter, if overdone it can actually make things worse.Since our skin type is more prone to dark spots, excessive exfoliation can leave hot spots on the face which heal with hyperpigmentation. Also, oily skin should be exfoliated once a week and dry skin should be exfoliated twice a month.Processed food called red flagProcessed foods contain high amounts of salt and sugar which act as preservatives to reduce shelf life. Besides, the amount of nutrition in them is also very less. That's why Dr. Anchal has called processed food a red flag.Also giving Green Flag, try to eat freshly cooked food with high protein as much as possible. Indian diet has more carbohydrates and less protein. Incorporating curd, lentils, beans and cheese is a good way for vegetarians to increase the protein content.Apple cider vinegar is red flag for skinMany people use apple cider vinegar mixed with prescriptions on their skin, but doctors have classified it as a red flag. he/she has written in his/her caption that applying apple vinegar on the face can cause irritation and should not be used.Earlier it was used as an anti-acne agent. This lowers the pH of the skin and can result in gentle exfoliation, but there are better and safer alternatives now.Know what else Dr. Aanchal Panth toldIs it right or wrong to scrub with lentils?When it comes to homemade face or body scrub, the first name among the ingredients used in it is red lentils. Skin doctor Aanchal says that it causes small cracks on the skin. It is better that you use chemical exfoliants.Green flag given to laser waxingIt is fine to remove hair from hands and legs, but now women have started using face razor and waxing to remove facial hair. But Dr. Aanchal has termed waxing as a red flag and has included laser hair reaction in the list of green flakes, which is very beneficial for thick hair. [ad_2]
