What are the hormones in cosmetics

There are many types of cosmetics for girls with complex functions. Most of these cosmetics contain hormones. Many people want to know what the hormones in cosmetics are and whether they are harmful to the body. The hormones in cosmetics are mainly glucocorticoids. Using a small amount of this type of hormone will not cause any harm to the skin, but can promote the body's metabolism. This article introduces the relevant content, let’s take a look

The hormones added to cosmetics are mainly glucocorticoids. This type of drug can reduce capillary permeability, exudation and cell infiltration when applied externally. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, immunosuppressive and antibiotic effects. Topical ointments and creams made with glucocorticoids are widely used in dermatology clinically.

Glucocorticoids have been used in clinical practice for decades. They are powerful immunosuppressants and anti-inflammatory drugs, but are also one of the most frequently abused drugs. This is due to its powerful immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects.

1. Check the record before purchasing

All regular domestic and imported cosmetics can be registered on the official website of the Food and Drug Administration. Of course, filing does not mean absolute safety, because the inspection items during filing are very basic. But at least it means that the product is under supervision and is not a three-no product.

2. Symptoms after discontinuation

In general, the suspension and observation method can be adopted. That is, if erythema, papules, itching, exudation, capillary dilation and pigmentation appear on the skin for a few days (usually 3 to 15 days) after stopping the use of cosmetics, it is the clinical manifestation of hormone-dependent dermatitis.

3. Avoid all kinds of quick-acting miracle products

If you see a product that can whiten your skin quickly (in a few hours or days) and can also quickly fight allergies and remove acne, then this product is very dangerous. In addition, quick-acting facial masks are the hardest hit, because facial masks are used 1 or 2 times a week, and the outbreak of problems is hidden, so more attention needs to be paid.

Glucocorticoids are like an extremely sharp "double-edged sword". While relieving the original symptoms, they can also cause new lesions. Abuse of topical preparations containing glucocorticoids can lead to glucocorticoid-dependent dermatitis.
