ANSome simple ingredients are often used in DIY skincare routines — but technique matters.
Activated charcoal is known for its absorbent properties, which may help draw out excess oil and reduce the appearance of blackheads when used in masks. Turmeric contains antioxidant compounds and is commonly used in face masks to support brighter-looking skin. Applying ice to the skin can temporarily tighten its appearance and reduce puffiness by constricting blood vessels — though pores don’t actually “open” or “close.” Raw potato slices are sometimes placed under the eyes because they contain natural enzymes and starches that may help temporarily reduce the appearance of dark circles. These methods aren’t medical treatments, but some people use them for short-term cosmetic effects. Always patch test and avoid overuse to protect your skin barrier. Save this for simple skincare tips.
