Скачать или смотреть Grandma’s Skincare Advice — What Actually Works and What to Skip

Toothpaste on pimples. Lemon juice for dark spots. Egg whites for tightening. Butter on burns.

We’ve all heard them.

In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin break down the most common old-school skincare remedies passed down from grandmas, TikTok, and well-meaning family members and explain what actually works, what’s harmless, and what can seriously damage your skin.

They cover toothpaste for acne, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar for pigmentation, cucumbers for puffy eyes, turmeric masks, oatmeal baths, honey for wounds, aloe for burns, and even the dangerous rise of black salve. Along the way, they explain the science behind why some of these remedies gained popularity and why modern skincare products are often safer, more effective, and better regulated.

This episode is part myth-busting, part science lesson, and part reality check. Just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s safe. And just because it’s been around for decades doesn’t mean it works.

If you’ve ever been tempted to DIY your skincare from your kitchen cabinet, listen to this first.
