The hidden risks associated with crushing tablets in skincare
This is the point on which I need to be very clear with you.
Not all tablets are intended for cutaneous application.
Some viral messages suggest using vitamin tablets, or even medication. But when you crush a tablet, you expose your skin to
Excipients and binders not intended for topical use.
Unknown concentrations of active ingredients.
Potential allergens.
And here’s what can happen.
Skin irritation,
redness or burns
, rashes or clogged pores,
uneven pigmentation over time
According to dermatological research, inappropriate use of active ingredients can actually worsen the appearance of skin aging instead of improving it.
So, instead of looking for quick fixes, it makes more sense to understand what your skin actually needs.
This is what truly contributes to healthier skin over time.
Now for the part that is often ignored because it seems “too simple”.
