You should not rub garlic on your face.
While garlic has some antimicrobial properties, it can also be irritating and even damaging to your skin.
Here's why:
- Garlic contains allicin, a compound that can cause skin irritation, redness, and burning. This is especially true if you have sensitive skin.
- Garlic can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. This could lead to sunburn or other skin problems.
- Garlic can clog pores and contribute to acne.
There are much safer and more effective ways to care for your skin. If you're looking for a natural remedy, try using aloe vera or tea tree oil.
