There is a kind of ingredient in cosmetics that is extremely useful that everyone mistakenly thinks is harmful

When knowledge of cosmetics is widely available, it seems to be the time when products containing alcohol are left out. Tincture is mostly known as a drying agent and capable of destroying skin cells. Is this concept true and is alcohol so bad?

So long, alcohol is still considered by many to be a hazardous ingredient in cosmetics, so it should be avoided. All cosmetics containing alcohol are more or less making you consider, even recommend not to buy. But the reality: Alcohol is not as bad as we thought, even if it helps our skin look better if used properly!

Alcohol (also called alcohol) is present in many cosmetics. However, not all types of alcohol are the same, basically, alcohol in cosmetics usually consists of 1 in 2 forms: Dry alcohol and fatty alcohol.

While dry alcohol - which is also the most bad alcohol - has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and increased shelf life. Dry alcohol also evaporates quickly, helping skin dry, creating a feeling of tightening pores. The disadvantage of dry alcohol is that if used too much for a long time they can lose the natural oil layer on the skin, making the skin dry and uncomfortable; Skin is also easier on acne and faster aging.

Some common types of dry alcohol are: Ethanol alcohol; Ethyl alcohol; Propanol alcohol; Alcohol denat; Isopropyl alcohol; Isopropanol alcohol; Benzyl alcohol.

However, on the other hand, fatty alcohol is a friend who is quite friendly with skin. Unlike a brother with dry alcohol, fatty alcohol is quite gentle, does not cause skin irritation. Fatty skin in cosmetics will help skin smooth, maintain necessary moisture; Fatty alcohols are also used as emulsifiers to improve product texture, helping many ingredients such as retinol or vitamin C penetrate the skin faster.

Some common fatty alcohols are: Cetyl alcohol, Cetearyl alcohol, Stearyl alcohol, Behenyl alcohol, Arachidyl Alcohol, Myristyl alcohol.

Therefore, alcohol in actual cosmetics does not harm, whether fat or alcoholic alcohol has certain effects, you do not need to avoid using all products containing alcohol. The oily girls can choose products containing dry alcohol because of their fast permeability, which does not cause greasy skin to stick. But you should consider carefully the ingredients, do not choose products with too high a dry alcohol content.

And the dry skin, aging skin can choose products containing fatty alcohol to help increase the ability to moisturize, smooth skin.
