Everybody desires glowing wrinkle-free skin and a lot of people keep trying a lot of treatments along with home care remedies to achieve this desire. The social media is full of skincare hacks nowadays some being useful others fake. This makes it very difficult for people to come out with a right solution to their skincare problems. Hence it is necessary to consult a Dermatologist and tailor your skincare regimen according to your skin type. As a Dermatologist in this article I will review some of the skincare hacks prevalent in social media so that you can have a better understanding of whether something you are using at home has a scientific backing or not.

HACK 2
