Pryshchiki have one amazing feature - they always appear at the wrong time. Therefore, the first thing that interests their "lucky owner" is the way to get rid of this surprise as soon as possible, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net The dynamic development of the cosmetic industry gave us a lot of special means intended for this purpose. But, strangely enough, despite their abundance, the old grandmother's way - to cure bothersome inflammation with alcohol - is still very common. But what can it lead to?.

The opinion that alcohol is the best cure for acne, tightly entrenched in the popular consciousness and made products containing it especially loved. However, many experts do not share this passion for cosmetic means "under the degree". So what is more in alcohol-containing cosmetics for problem skin - harm or benefit? The professionals.

Ekaterina Usanova, marketing director of the company "Aquafarm" Acne is always the presence of a localized inflammatory process on the skin, and alcohol is a very good antiseptic. Because before it was very widely used in cosmetics for oily and problem skin. However, it was later found that alcohol, on the contrary, strengthens all those negative manifestations of acne, with which it is called upon to fight. Alcohol, which is known to be a good solvent, destroys the hydrolyside film that covers our skin with a thin protective layer. "Stripped" in this way the skin becomes vulnerable to any infections, inflames, and, of course, seeks to compensate for lost lipids (fats). Trying to recover as soon as possible, she, on the contrary, begins to intensively produce sebum. Therefore, an attempt to "dry" fatty skin with the help of alcohol-containing cosmetics leads to the opposite result. In addition, another reaction of the skin to alcohol is enhanced keratinization, that is, an increase in the cells of the surface layer of the skin. As a result, the pores become clogged, which contributes to the appearance of new inflammatory elements. Include in the composition of alcohol-containing cosmetic product some additives that would compensate for the destructive effect of this substance, in my opinion, it is not logical - it's easier not to destroy than compensate. I think that the use of alcohol is justified only in the means that are used locally, for individual acne. In this case acne can really be "controlled".

Cvetlan Kovaleva, dermatologist, cosmetologist of Centus company. The question of the expediency of using alcohol-containing drugs can only be discussed after setting the framework for discussion. Are we talking about external dermatological pharmacotherapy or are we talking about cosmetic care?.

In the first case, advisability is dictated by the general principles of external treatment of skin diseases - some pharmacological agents are dissolved only in ethyl alcohol, based on alcohol, extracts and tinctures are prepared. And, in spite of the irritating and drying effect of this substance, it was used and will be used by more than one generation of doctors.

On the contrary, within the framework of a complex cosmetic prescription, the use of alcohol-containing preparations is permissible only under local influence and the absence of sparing analogues. Disappointed alcohol for its adverse effects on the lipid structure of the epidermis, leading to a sharp deterioration of the skin.

Most often, alcohol-containing medications are prescribed by cosmetologists in caring for oily skin with hypersecret or acne, vainly trying to achieve clinical results due to the disinfecting effect.

Critical dehydration, violation of the integrity of the skin not only does not promote recovery, but sometimes leads to a deterioration in the state (reactive hyperproduction of sebum and t.

Justified can be the use of only local alcohol-containing preparations with a high concentration of keratolytic (exfoliating), antibacterial, anti-inflammatory components to accelerate the processes of "maturation" and healing of acne. In modern cosmetic research and production laboratories, alcoholic tonics for oily skin have been sunk into oblivion, instead of them isotonic antibacterial lotions have been successfully used.
