For inventing homemade masks, she ended up with a green face (and she is not the only one)

We are always one of the first to talk about the benefits of homemade masks, but it is always important to do so with the necessary information from specialists, since intuition is often not enough, as is the case with the chlorophyll.

And the case of Kota recently went viral, a young woman who, following the advice of users on social networks, decided to apply a liquid chlorophyll facial to reduce her acne.

This because the next day she had a job interview at none other than Bank Of America (winning, as always), but unfortunately the result was not as expected, as it dyed her skin green.

From the beginning, Kota explains that the chlorophyll mask can have this effect, but for this reason they recommend continuing to rub it in to prevent this from happening, something that he assures "was not easy for him at all."

So, when you try to wash your face to remove it, it wouldn't come out of your skin and the truth is that the dangers of using it don't stop there.

Risks of the chlorophyll mask

Although it is true that chlorophyll contains vitamins A and E, which help to hydrate and cleanse the skin, when applied in liquid form to our face, it can cause irritation, according to specialists such as Rosa Taberner, member of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV).

The dermatologist explained to the CuídatePlus portal that although various studies have shown the benefits of this substance in topical application for the treatment of facial acne and visible pores by reducing inflammation and bacterial growth, more research is still needed.

Similarly, the Depilevé portal points out that direct chlorophyll on the skin can cause irritation and more severe allergies, since it has to go through a completely chemical process to be used dermatologically, so it is recommended that if you go use a chlorophyll mask you do it with clinical treatments and under the supervision of a dermatologist.

On the other hand, a safe way to include chlorophyll in your beauty routine safely and at home is simply to include this substance in our food intake with vegetables such as spinach, broccoli or lettuce (those green in color , basically),

The important thing is to remember that all home treatments must first be approved by a specialist, since each skin is different and many times “beauty tips” can affect us more than they help us.
