Rejecting the myth behind the scary ingredients
The internet can be overwhelming and knowledge of the difference between myths and truths when it comes to skin care can be difficult. Dermatologists and beauticians can give you the best knowledge as a skin guru and we encourage you to look for their tips when it comes to your specialized needs or concerns. Here are some ingredients that we are ready to land with the help of Susannah, Advanced Practice Esttician.
Oil ointment. “Isn’t that Vaseline®? This is Pore-Clogging!” The bad rep of petrolatum is that it is cheap and pore-clogging/fat. While this may apply to industrial use, highly sophisticated and cleaned oil can be beneficial in cosmetics and skin care to give moisture added to the skin with minimal risk of irritation. Susannah adds: “In fact, many dermatologists turn to Petrolatum as the first defense against eczema, psoriasis and even diaper rash.” This emollient is a great way to create a mild obstacle to keep moisturizing locked and relax this skin. It also adds a silky texture to the skin care products.
Hyaluronic acid may have thought of corrosive and hard, but this ingredient is far from it! It is naturally found on the skin, this replacement ingredient has the ability to enhance the moisture content of your skin and prevent moisture loss. With the addition of moisture, wrinkles look full and the skin is stable and smooth. In addition, this pair of ingredients that love the skin wonderful with other ingredients in many skin care compositions.
Ketylic alcohol. This ingredient can create images of alcohol sting in a cotton round for cuts and scratches, but this ingredient is far from the hardest and most well -known isopropyl alcohol. This oily alcohol is a mixture of gentle ketches and stenal alcohol. It is used as an emulsifier, emollient and texture enhancer in skin care products. Even cosmetics characterized by “alcohol -free” can contain alcohol cell, which demonstrates the mild and soothing effect of this ingredient over more known and worsening worsening forms of alcohol.
Dimthicone is a type of silicone that is extremely gentle and effective. Ever wondering why your makeup looks much better after moisturizing? Dimethicone helps to normalize and blurry that imperfections leaving a smooth canvas for an institution. It may be the difference between a silky face cream and a sticky texture that you can’t expect to rinse.
Parabens has recently created many buzzs with products that proclaim “without Paraben” or “no conservative” on their label, but why? Some studies indicate a cancer link. Susannah notes: “However, these studies are usually based on extreme quantities of conservative (up to 100% when less than 1% is usually used in cosmetics).
Parabens protect our skin care products by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, ensuring that they remain safe and effective. The risk that parabens or preservatives would not be used would be an excessive increase in microbial growth and bacteria that cause the expiration and loss of the effectiveness of your products. If you choose to use products that do not contain parabens, this is a personal decision-but we know that parabens are one of the safest and most research ingredients to maintain the makeup and skin products we love.
