When it comes to skin care, female friends have been trying more effective methods. In recent years, facial masks have become popular, with many saying that facial masks are good, easy to use and effective quickly. However, what they didn't expect is that these are actually hormone masks. What is a hormone mask? In order to achieve quick results, various hormones that are harmful to the skin are added to the mask. After hearing this, are you worried whether the mask in your hand is a hormone mask? Then let’s learn how to distinguish hormone masks. What are the reactions to applying a "hormone mask"? First of all, let's talk about what glucocorticoids are. As a class of drugs with more clinical applications, glucocorticoids have medicinal values such as anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, anti-shock, and anti-toxic effects, and are widely used in dermatitis, eczema, rheumatism and other diseases; When dermatologists treat the skin, they use this type of drug in combination with other antibacterial drugs, strictly controlling the amount and duration of use, usually just a few days. Why do we need to strictly control the time? Because any drug has side effects, and the side effect of hormonal drugs is that they will form "dependence". Long-term use will lead to "addiction", so they are also called "skin opium". Once you stop using it, your skin will feel very uncomfortable, such as dryness and stinging, redness and itching, facial acne, peeling, red blood streaks and other problems. In severe cases, the patient may suffer from "hormone-dependent dermatitis". In short, glucocorticoids are "angels" in the hands of dermatologists and "devils" in the hands of unscrupulous manufacturers. How to avoid buying "hormone masks"? It is not difficult to identify a "hormone mask". Although we consumers are not professionals, we cannot test whether the mask contains hormones before use. But before buying, we can use the following two methods to distinguish. 1. Don’t trust masks that claim to have quick effects This type of mask usually uses exaggerated claims in its promotion, such as "whiten overnight", "remove spots in two days", "anti-aging in three days" and other exaggerated and quick-acting words. 2. Purchase through formal channels "Hormone masks" are often sold through business channels where supervision is relatively weak and it is more difficult to collect evidence and hold accountable. Therefore, we can buy facial masks through formal channels such as shops with complete business certificates, large stores, supermarkets and legal websites. After all, formal companies are subject to strict supervision and dare not take the risk of producing hormone masks and affecting their reputation. |
