Alcohol in Skincare is bad for your skin
Avoid alcohols in your skincare products

You wouldn't think applying a hand sanitizer on your face is good for your skin would you? (hand sanitizers are made with more than 90% alcohol)

So why would you want to apply skincare products with alcohol in them in your skin?

TL : DR

Good Alcohols (alcohols that are acceptable) :

• Cetyl Alcohol
• Stearyl Alcohol
• Cetearyl Alcohol
• Any other fatty alcohol

Bad Alcohols (alcohols to be avoided) :

• ethanol
• denatured alcohol
• ethyl alcohol
• methanol
• benzyl alcohol
• isopropyl alcohol
• sd alcohol

This list is non-exhaustive

please do read this and understand that

all non-fatty alcohols are bad for you

in other words, only fatty alcohols are good for you

the science once again is steadfast on this, it is as good as the earth is round

THE GOOD TYPES OF ALCOHOL
There's a class of ingredients known as fatty alcohols, which are not the least bit harmful for skin. Often confused with the bad alcohols, such as denatured alcohol, the fatty alcohols include, among others, cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. Typically, fatty alcohols are used as emollients and thickeners in skin-care products. Fatty alcohols are not irritating and, in fact, can be beneficial for dry skin. As far as your skin is concerned, fatty alcohols are about as related to skin-damaging alcohol/ethanol as a martini is to a cup of olive oil.

Good Alcohols (alcohols that are acceptable) :

All of the listed items above are all fatty alcohols
Other fatty alcohols include Behenyl, decyl, caprylyl/caprylate, lauryl, myristyl and isostearyl.
When reading a label, you can find a fatty alcohol by noticing the common ending ‘-yl’ in each alcohol name.

Bad Alcohols (alcohols to be avoided) :

• ethanol
• denatured alcohol
• ethyl alcohol
• methanol
• benzyl alcohol

I test le. Got one is blue bottle.
The Anessa Perfect UV Mild Milk had the similar (non sticky, non oily) to the one I use..
The only thing is the price lol.

Maybe i can use Anessa Perfect UV Mild Milk on face, while BIORE:Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF50 on hand.


btw
There is a promo in Shopee..
want to buy, get it ASAP
it had shop voucher also, can stack it.. than it cost more cheaper than shop.

 

[Renzokukenz]

[harky]

Tks Renzokukenz! Learnt alot from your thread.
I ordered the Anessa Perfect UV Mild Milk online. Cant wait to try it

I rem my facialist telling me that there is oil based and cream/aqua based sunscreen. She recommended me for my oil skin type, I should avoid oil based.
She also said I dont need to get sunscreen that are over 30+ as once its over, it will contain certain ingredients which are not so good. So those 25+ is good enough. Not sure if I rem the terms correctly.

You got any info related to that?

 

[aaronlimsinga]

Another qn. How often do you apply sunscreen a day?
I'm in an office environment. I usually just apply once in the morning and thats it. Too lazy to keep reapply again in the afternoon

no you cannot judge if a sunscreen have good/bad ingredients from the SPF alone. don't listen to these fake pieces of advice

beauticians in facial parlors earn more when they sell products
it is like the food you buy in the cinema help the cinema make more money
always do your own readings and research

the only way to ascertain if a sunscreen have bad ingredients is if you looking into the ingredient list.

When i make a purchase i will first screen the ingredients list for alcohol (fatty alcohols are fine), once there's alcohol I don't bother looking at the rest and move on to the next product.

Next I google the ingredients, sometimes word for word, this is why I spent 30 minutes typing by hand the FULL Ingredient list on Anessa Perfect UV Mild Milk

The ingredients list are often in descending order.
Meaning there are more of the ingredients that appear first.

More on all these things in post 15 here (watch the video): https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/120745159-post15.html

last but not least for the Anessa Perfect UV Mild Milk
you need to LET IT DRY, it will dry into a matte finish, just that it takes some time
after it drys it is perfect and it mattifies your skin

 

[羊咩咩的天地]

Try Canvas Beauty Sun Protect Gel SPF 30.Price is definitely on the high side but I feel that based on (1) matte non-oily finish and (2) good organic ingredients, it is justified.

Erm I just checked shoppee

when there's 20% off you can get the 60ml one at $32 from Watson
the $18 one in the screenshot is 20ml only

Shoppee on the price is much worst and cannot even confirm if the sellers are selling the real product

wah I damn new to the online shopping gain
why you buy both the 20ml+60ml

also I forgot they have a blue version
other than the lower SPF I don't really know the difference.
But maybe can get a hint from the naming of the product

Milk vs Essence. I am guessing the essence is even more watery and lightweight


hmmmm after so many voucher game and discount the price match Watson 20% discount.... I think I will pass haha too many online accounts I cannot keep up

 

[Renzokukenz]
