Skincare alcohols can be good?!
BY LOUISA AHLQVIST
Skincare alcohols have gotten a pretty bad rap over the years, and sometimes, it's for a good reason!
These alcohols:
Alcohol (duh)
Ethanol
Denatured Alcohol/Alcohol Denat.
Methanol
SD Alcohol
Isopropyl Alcohol
...are no-goes! 🙅♀️ These can age you over time, dry out your skin production (which causes your skin to produce more oil!), and worsen texture!
Here's a list of skincare alcohols that will transform your skin in the best way AND products with these ingredients.
Cetyl Alcohol
Stearyl Alcohol
Lauryl Alcohol
Glycol
C12-16
Myristyl Alcohol
Cetearyl Alcohol
So next time you're on the hunt for a new skin product, pull up this list and you know what products to run from...and what to run to!
