Although facial masks containing alcohol have a certain oil control effect, they also have side effects. Can I buy a facial mask containing alcohol?

Facial masks can be said to be a must-have beauty magic weapon for girls. Facial masks play a very important role in the process of skin care. Almost all skin problems can be repaired by facial masks, but for many girls who are obsessed with facial masks, they almost feel uncomfortable without using them. However, there are countless facial masks on the market now. If you buy inferior facial masks, it will only make your face worse and worse, and may even disfigure you. Therefore, you must be cautious when choosing a facial mask. Below, I will share with you several types of facial masks that you must be cautious when choosing.

1. Don’t buy cheap whitening masks

Now there are some whitening masks on the market with very low prices, and most of these low-priced whitening masks are used by many illegal merchants because they contain banned chemical ingredients. These low-priced whitening masks usually only contain mercury, phenol and other chemical whitening ingredients. Although they can inhibit the synthesis of melanin to achieve the effect of whitening, they are very toxic and can cause damage to the skin and body. If these products are used for a long time, they may even leave ugly scars. Generally speaking, whitening requires a gradual process, and you cannot blindly pursue immediate results. When buying a mask, it is best not to choose a too cheap one, but to choose a reliable brand product!

2. Mask containing fluorescent powder whitening agent

Dear babies, if the whitening mask you buy can achieve immediate whitening effect in a short time, you need to be careful, because these masks are likely to have added fluorescent agents. Although it can make you whiter in a short time, this white is not a truly healthy white. Once you stop using it, it will return to your original appearance. Moreover, if you use these masks for a long time, the residues of fluorescent agents will accumulate on the surface of the skin, which will be destructive to the skin.

3. Masks with excessive salicylic acid content

Salicylic acid has excellent oil control and acne removal effects. Generally speaking, it is mostly used in acne removal masks. Salicylic acid is acidic, so the concentration must not exceed the standard. If the concentration exceeds the standard, it will irritate the skin. If used for a long time, it will burn the skin and make the skin very sensitive. Therefore, the content of salicylic acid is usually controlled below 0.4%. Especially for sensitive skin that is fragile in itself, you must not use this acidic mask. If you want to get rid of acne, then you might as well try a mask containing natural ingredients!

4. Alcohol-containing facial mask

Alcohol has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Because alcohol is volatile, if you use a facial mask containing alcohol, the alcohol will take away the moisture of the skin during the evaporation process. Although alcohol has a good oil control effect, it is extremely easy to destroy the sebum film with protective function, making the skin dry. Therefore, it is recommended that babies try not to use facial masks containing alcohol, especially for sensitive skin. Do not use alcohol-containing skin care products, which will irritate the skin. Usually, use a mild hydrating mask.
