At present, most facial cleansers on the market are alkaline (all soap-based facial cleansers are basically alkaline, if not, there are generally two cases, incomplete saponification or acid added). Long-term use of alkaline facial cleanser will peel off the cuticle of the skin, cause damage to the cuticle and make the skin sensitive. Once the surface layer of skin is damaged, the surfactant of alkaline facial cleanser will penetrate into the bottom layer of skin, further stimulating the bottom layer of skin and increasing the sensitivity of skin. At this time, there will be some dry skin.
Alkaline products have strong oil removal ability. You will feel particularly clean and dry when you use these products, but this is excessive cleaning. Because the skin needs some oil to protect it, without this protective film, the moisture and nutrition of the skin will be lost, and we will feel that the skin is getting worse and worse. Many people think that it is because of getting old, but it is not, but because the barrier of the skin has been destroyed, so even if you do hydration and moisturizing, the skin can't retain moisture and nutrition.
For example, Silk X Fu facial cleanser and Purple X Tang XX facial cleanser recommended by many bloggers are said to be cheap and easy to use, but they are also soap-based facial cleanser.
So, what if the skin barrier is damaged?
At this time, it is necessary to change a mild facial cleanser, such as amino acid facial cleanser.
With the deepening of people's awareness of skin care, there are more and more "amino acid facial cleanser" on the market. Although these products are much milder than alkaline soap-based facial cleanser, we still have to distinguish the real "amino acid facial cleanser" from them, because there are many kinds of amino acids, some are weak bases and some are weak acids.
The first category, weak alkaline amino acid facial cleanser.
The second category is the compound facial cleanser of amino acid surfactant and soap-based surfactant.
For example, S-ll's cleansing and skin care amino acid facial cleanser is soap-based facial cleanser, in which sodium lauroyl glutamate is an amino acid surfactant, while PEG- 150 stearate and stearamide amp are soap-based.
These two types of facial cleanser are much less irritating than alkaline soap-based facial cleanser.
The third category, weakly acidic amino acid facial cleanser, is milder and safer than the above two types of facial cleanser.
There are also some fairies who like foam-rich facial cleanser. In fact, the foam-rich facial cleanser is also irritating to the skin because of the addition of chemical foaming agent, so please don't be obsessed with foam-rich products. Foam-rich facial cleanser is a good facial cleanser, which is definitely a misunderstanding!
In addition, handmade soap belongs to alkaline products, and the pH value of handmade soap is generally around 7. Sodium hydroxide, which participates in the reaction of handmade soap, is a strong alkali. After understanding, I want to continue to clean my face with soap. Your skin is healthy and can withstand tossing. I can't help it Babies with dry skin or sensitive muscles had better give up soap-based facial cleanser!
This amino acid facial cleanser is made of amino acids imported from Japan. Its amino acid surface active concentration is as high as 95%, showing weak acidity, and its pH value is 5.5. No foaming agent is added, so the foam is rarely delicate when used, but the cleanliness is good because of the high concentration of amino acids. As long as peanuts are big enough to wash your face once, you can wash it clean except for heavy makeup.
In order to achieve the best cleaning effect, Chen Lingli kept the original state to the greatest extent, which also proved to some extent that the amino acid concentration of this facial cleanser was very high, and it was clean and gentle.
This facial cleanser is packed in glass bottles so as not to destroy amino acids. There is no way to use pressure pump or hose to clean high concentration amino acids.
Some people will feel as if they are washed and not washed after using this facial cleanser. This is because this cleanser is mild and won't wash off the protective layer of the skin, so it feels uncomfortable, not tight and not moist after washing. This is not because it is not clean, but because this facial cleanser is gentle, but it is definitely clean.
The fairy who wants to try this cleansing cream can settle down!
