the things we put on our oily skin in 2016 should be investigated

lemon juice. straight from the lemon. onto my face. for months

toothpaste on pimples overnight bc a magazine said so. baking soda scrub bc it "deep cleans". and once, and i am not joking, sanitizer on a spot bc someone said it dries it out

every single one of these was aimed at my oily skin and every single one made it worse, and the entire time i thought the burning meant it was working

the lemon one gave me marks that took two years to fade. i genuinely damaged my face with fruit bc the internet in 2016 was lawless

what did you put on your oily skin back then. no judgement, we were all victims of the same three blogs 😭
