What are the dangers of using white tuckahoe mask

We know that white Poria cocos is a relatively common Chinese medicine with many therapeutic and health-care effects. Many people like to grind white Poria cocos into powder and then make it into a facial mask, which can indeed achieve a good whitening effect. Some people also like to buy white Poria cocos masks on the market. At this time, I want to tell you that such white cloth masks may cause certain harm if used improperly. For example, they may contain a certain amount of lead and may contain certain hormones.

If it is pure white Poria powder, it will not make the skin dependent and will not cause any harm to the skin itself. If it is a white Poria whitening mask, other ingredients may be added to it, which may cause the following harms:

1. High lead and mercury content

White Poria mask can whiten your skin, but whitening products often have high mercury content, while moisturizing products are generally okay. Skin care products for whitening and removing spots generally contain very high levels of lead and mercury. In short, moisturizing and protection should be the main focus in daily life, and it is better to avoid contact with whitening products. To identify the lead and mercury content in skin care products, you can take a little skin care product and let it dry for a while to see if its color changes from white to yellow or even reddish brown. The darker the color, the higher the lead content. Another method is to use a gold ring to repeatedly rub the area where the skin care product is applied to see if the applied area turns black.

2. May contain hormones

After applying the White Poria mask, it may take effect very quickly, but stopping use will be worse than not using it at all. If you experience allergic reactions, redness, and swelling when using cosmetics from other brands, you should consider whether they contain too many hormones. If so, you should stop using them immediately.

3. The antioxidant effect may not be high

Nowadays, every facial mask claims to have antioxidant effects and prevent cell aging, but are they really effective? In fact, a drop of iodine can reveal it. Drop a drop of iodine on the facial mask. If the iodine fades or even becomes transparent, then the antioxidant property of the mask is quite good.

What are the dangers of white Poria mask? White Poria cocos mask may be exposed to the hazards of high lead and mercury content, hormones, and low antioxidant effect, so everyone should be more careful when purchasing white Poria cocos mask, and try to buy products with good reputation and good quality. Everything has two sides. We should see both the good and the bad sides.
