I'm curios why do people harm their skin with these harmful DIYS I'm not talking about organic honey and tea tree oil I'm talking about toothpaste, mouthwash, other house hold CLEANING items why do people so it I'm genuinely curious. I heard someone say they use bleach from the jug on the face why?

That's the idea :( I'll never understand that one because it warns not to use on skin it says to wash off immediately.

Some people have given up all hope because of their acne, and turn to harsh chemicals to try to get rid of it. That's what I did at least. (I don't use stuff like that anymore, I take a pill for the acne)

No I mean even if they don't have acne like I see people use toothpaste for a single pimple and mouth wash for scars when they have tried nothing else.

Well people do toothpaste because I think they truly believe it will help their skin. But everyone must know that putting straight bleach on your skin isn't healthy!

I'd be lying if I said it was the first time I heard that someone used bleach on their skin
Answer to the question would be ignorance and misinformation mostly

Some people don't feel comfortable with their skin tone so they bleach to get lighter very popular within the African American culture due to all the controversy over light skin and dark skin African Americans.

All the chemicals I mean yes there are chemicals in washes but toothpaste, mouthwash, bleach, and other cleaning stuff is out of hand. It makes me sad.

I'm not really talking about bleach creams I mean bleach you use to clean with.

There was even one person on here that told me to use lemon on an open cut to make it heal faster.

That would sting! Ow! I don't know who started this information but it's bad! My mom being a nurse for nearly 30 years has taught me what's BS and what's factual.

It just sucks people do that I know it's their choice but it's sad and they shouldn't do it!

Yea people have tried using real bleach instead of just bleaching creams to lighten skin under the assumption that they will work the same

People get desperate when they feel insecure or not accepted. It's sad, but it's true. Some societies need to take on different perspectives of beauty, so people don't feel they need to change themselves aesthetically in order to " fit in". Also, there are some that are ignorant, who don't care to check twice before believing something they saw on the internet. Some people are just careless about it.

Everyones skin is different and reacts differently. Toothpaste helps mine :))

And can't blame some people. Some people really have lost their hope beating acne so they choose harmful things.
