what is alum powder - #24363
I am trying to figure something out about this thing called alum powder. Lately, I’ve been experiencing this annoying itchiness on my skin, especially after using certain products, and a friend mentioned that alum powder might help. However, I have no clue what is alum powder exactly? Like, how do people even use it? I heard it's good for various things, but my skin seems to be irritated and sometimes it turns red, and truthfully, I'm getting a bit fed up with all these creams and treatments that don’t seem to work!! I tried researching “what is alum powder” and found that it’s used in cooking and beauty routines but still feeling confused about its properties. Can it seriously help with skin problems? I've also read somewhere that it has antimicrobial properties, which sounds promising but don’t wanna risk my sensitive skin getting worse. Anyone got advice or experiences with alum powder? Should I just sprinkle it on or mix it with something? Help!
