1. Dilute vinegar soaks for feet
Mix 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts warm water. Soak feet 15-20 minutes daily. Antifungal and antibacterial, helps with foot odor and mild fungal infections. Dry feet thoroughly after, moisture feeds fungus. 2. Copper peptides support collagen and elastin production and have real evidence for wound healing and skin repair 3. Most chapsticks contain menthol, camphor, or phenol which feel soothing at first but cause rebound irritation and dependency, you end up needing to reapply constantly. 4. Skip pure L-ascorbic acid if you're breakout prone, it can be irritating. Look for MAP (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate), SAP (sodium ascorbyl phosphate), or THD ascorbate instead, these are gentler and some have mild antibacterial properties. 5. Sal acid is oil soluble, meaning it actually penetrates inside the pore to dissolve the buildup causing congestion 6. Mineral formulas with zinc oxide are gentlest, avoid chemical filters that can trigger flushing in reactive skin. #skincaretips #peptide #skinbarrier #hygienetok #vitaminc
