That post is not a good idea—it’s a mix of skincare myths plus a bit of engagement bait (“must comment to keep getting recipes”).
🚫 Why toothpaste + tomato is risky
- Toothpaste contains abrasives, detergents, and sometimes peroxide or menthol—formulated for teeth, not skin
→ can cause irritation, dryness, even chemical burns - Tomato is acidic
→ may sting and worsen sensitive skin or acne
❌ Claims vs reality
“Shrinks large pores”
- Pore size is mostly genetic
- You can reduce appearance, not permanently shrink them
“Removes dark spots”
- Real treatment takes time (weeks–months) with proven ingredients
- Quick DIY masks won’t fade pigmentation reliably
“Hair removal”
- This one is simply false—neither ingredient removes hair
✔️ What actually works better
For large pores:
- Gentle cleansing
- Niacinamide or salicylic acid products
For dark spots:
- Sunscreen (very important)
- Vitamin C, niacinamide, or mild acids
For unwanted facial hair:
- Threading, waxing, or dermatologist treatments (laser, etc.)
⚠️ Bottom line
👉 This “remedy” is more likely to irritate your skin than help it
👉 Viral DIY skincare often sounds natural but isn’t safe or effective
If you want, tell me your skin type (oily, dry, acne-prone), and I’ll suggest a simple routine that actually works.
