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.

  1. Cetyl Alcohol
  2. Stearyl Alcohol
  3. Lauryl Alcohol
  4. Glycol
  5. C12-16
  6. Myristyl Alcohol
  7. 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!
