1. #dermatologyteaching
I was tagged to a post on Facebook of someone that had used an organic product gone wrong. If it wasn't a colleague that tagged me, I would have just ignored. Because it seems the voices of caution and reasoning are no longer listened to.

2. People have adopted the "if I perish, I perish" attitude.

Any product that claims to be organic and turns you five shades lighter in two weeks is nothing but trouble.

Organic but gives you patches of colors is nothing but bad news.

Organic but has no list of ingredients

3. is nothing but rubbish.

It is just sad that people that have good products with good quality control are affected because of all the rubbish people are parading out there.

It is VERY easy to damage the skin, but repairing may become a herculean task.

4. Forget that you see them use people with flawless skin on the adverts. Genes play a huge role in the type of skin we have (modified by how well you take care of your skin). Most of the people you see in those adverts don't even use the creams.

5. I have discovered why a lot of people with skin damage secondary to so called organic products don't come forward with their stories. They're ashamed. That they used their two legs to seek out what damaged their skin. There...I said what I said.

6. For the lady in that post, the best thing for you now is TLC for your skin. Don't go looking for any cream that will repair it, you'll get into more trouble. Just a mild cleanser like dove moisturizing soap and a good moisturizer. Aveeno, Bioderma, Topicrem, Eucerin, E45,

7. Cetaphil are good brands. Then use your sunscreen. Give it time....time is her best friend now.

A word, is enough for the discerning wise.

8. Google images because I didn't ask for permission to post it on other platforms.
But the pictures on that post were similar to this.
