Recently, on packs of shampoos, creams, as well as other
you can read fashionable and decorative cosmetics
the phrase “does not contain silicones.” Many people buy such
goods, relying on the fact that they are more natural, and
therefore, more useful and effective. Is it so?
Today, almost half of all cosmetics has in its composition
or other silicone compounds. Manufacturers dearly love this
ingredient for its impact speed – visible result
achieved in just a couple of minutes. Hair gain
unusual shine, fine wrinkles are smoothed, and pores
become less noticeable. The thing is that the silicone in the composition
Cosmetics performs a single function – creates an invisible
elastic film on the surface of the skin or hair, thanks
which appears the effect of smoothness.
Are silicones harmful? This question is still causing heated debates
between cosmetologists and doctors. The advantages of silicones are that
the film retains moisture well and creates an invisible barrier between
surface of the skin and aggressive external environment, not allowing it
affect the body. Silicones do not cause allergies and even
able to reduce the risk of unpleasant reactions
interacting with other components of cosmetics.
Cons, too. Silicones tend to attract
particles of dust and grease, so the hair quickly becomes stale,
and the pores are clogged more often. Some compounds are poorly washed off with water,
skin stops breathing under the silicone layer, may occur
irritation and itching. This is especially true for the scalp.
What to do? What cosmetics to choose for safe
use?
Completely abandon silicones as part of a cosmetic
products hard. Without these substances protective sprays for styling a hairdryer
or curling stop protecting hair from burns, mascara for
eyelashes will crumble badly and go to lumps, velvety
the makeup base is almost entirely made of silicones, and about
lightweight, deodorants sliding on the body and waterproof
antiperspirants can be completely forgotten. Most negative
moments associated with the film formation of silicones are easily solved
thanks to modern means to clean the skin of the face, body and
heads. Do not forget about peels and deep cleansing shampoos. AND
Let cosmetics with silicones continue to delight you!
