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!
