[Misc] [Cringe] This is why lemon juice and salt should not go on your skin!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So, two weeks ago, the web edition of the biggest newspaper in Iceland posted a "home remedy" they claimed would remove blackheads (they pulled this remedy from Viral Thread it seems).Being an SCA lurker I obviously took a look and saw that the remedy was mixing lemon juice, water and salt and rubbing it on your skin. Oh the horror! I remember thinking to myself "but who would honestly, in good faith, put lemon juice and salt on their face?" A TL:DR (or TL:Don't understand) of the news article pictured: "to get rid of blackheads: mix lemon juice, water and salt, rub on your skin for 2-4 minutes. Wipe off with a cotton pad/ball. Do not do this more than two times a week."Sadly, within 24 hours there was a follow-up story about some poor girl who tried the remedy. She is also pictured in the link. The original story had also been updated with "attention. it seems YMMW, this remedy may irritate some skin types badly"I just couldn't resist posting this here. Maybe I should have tagged this as PSA but I hope you guys all know this :)As I'm posting this I'm sitting with mineral oil on my face getting ready to OCM. Yes, lemon juice+salt=bad, oil=can be good.
