Part of the cause of cosmetic skin disease is in consumers

Some people refused to use cosmetics and found that the skin became worse, so they accused the quality of the cosmetics is not good, they can not get rid of the use, otherwise the skin will "bounce."

Cosmetic skin disease, partly because of consumers

Whenever there is a cosmetic skin disease, many people blame it on the quality of cosmetics. In fact, in the cosmetics industry is becoming more and more standardized today, the emergence of cosmetic skin diseases, a considerable part of the root cause lies in the consumers themselves, such as consumers themselves are allergic, or the choice and use of cosmetic types.

What to do if allergy to cosmetics?

Among all cosmetic skin diseases, the most common one is cosmetic allergy, that is, cosmetic contact dermatitis. Professor Laiwei once made a statistic and found that cosmetic allergies accounted for about 85% of cosmetic skin diseases. Among them, there are more cosmetics using white ecchymoses, accounting for about 25%. The fragrance in cosmetics is the most common ingredient causing cosmetic allergies, followed by preservatives. However, Professor Lai Wei pointed out that as long as the cosmetics companies and their products have legal approvals, the products are produced and sold in a formal manner, the quality is qualified, no prohibited ingredients are added, and the skin problems caused by the products are mostly related to the consumers' own allergies or specificities. Physique is related and cannot be blamed on products and enterprises.

When cosmetic allergies occur, it often feels itchy, hot or stinging in the contact area of ​​the cosmetics. The symptoms vary depending on the condition, and various forms of skin damage such as papules, erythema, edema, and desquamation can be seen. At this time, it is necessary to remove the cosmetics remaining on the skin with water in time, stop the cosmetics causing the lesions or suspected lesions, avoid the scratching and itching parts, and promptly go to the hospital for dermatology treatment, and give antihistamines depending on the severity of the disease (eg Cetirizine) is a treatment for oral and topical glucocorticoid creams.

At this stage, facial cleansing should not be too diligent, usually once a day, preferably with boiled warm water, not using too much water and other irritating cleaning agents. Cleansing time should not be too long, 1-2 minutes will be fine. The cleansing method should be gentle. After washing, do not wipe and use a towel to gently absorb the residual moisture on the face.

Will the cosmetics “rebound” when the cosmetics are stopped?

Some people refused to use cosmetics and found that the skin became worse, so they accused the quality of the cosmetics is not good, they can not get rid of the use, otherwise the skin will "bounce."

Professor Lai Wei believes that in many cases, “rebound” is just a feeling of consumers. Although cosmetics can play a role in beauty and skin care, this effect is temporary and not permanent. If the skin is dry, use a moisturizing lotion to make the skin look beautiful. When these cosmetics are deactivated, the moisturizing effect disappears and the skin looks naturally worse than the time of use. Another reason is that the skin is an organ with self-regulating functions such as sweat excretion regulation and metabolic regulation. When some substances from the outside penetrate, such as applying moisturizing cosmetics to the skin, it adds extra moisturizing ingredients to the skin, and the moisturizing function of the skin itself is somewhat inhibited. When the cosmetics are stopped, the function of the skin cannot be recovered immediately, so it will feel worse than before. This situation will improve after the skin gradually recovers. Of course, some products are illegally added with hormones and other ingredients, and once they are deactivated, there will be a "rebound".
