As summer approaches and many people start shopping for favourite swimwear and tank tops, many feel insecure as they deal with skin blemishes and bacne (back acne).
This is typically a big trigger for TikTok content creators to create a trend as many worry about a quality that makes them insecure and how to solve it. One of those remedies has become a viral baking soda and honey vinegar for pimples trend.
With more than 66.1-million views of the video, the trend has pushed many to show before and after shots of how the recipe has helped give them a makeover from body acne and breakouts.
Warning against this DIY hack, beauty experts at Beauty Pie said users have to be aware of the cocktail featuring baking soda which is naturally acidic with a PH balance of 9. This can cause greater irritation and discomfort on the body acne and can damage skin.
If you are dealing with breakouts on your body and youre considering trying this DIY trend, I would urge you to look for safer, more regulated and more efficacious alternatives, says editorial director at Beauty Pie Nicola Moulton.
