Identify cosmetic hormones with clean water

In modern life, since many people like to invest in themselves, they use a lot of cosmetics to beautify themselves. However, we also know that cosmetics are still harmful to the body. Some cosmetics contain hormones. Then everyone also knows that hormones are also harmful to the human body and can cause endocrine disorders, obesity and other problems. So how do we identify it? Next, let's learn how to use clean water to identify whether the cosmetics we usually use contain hormones?

Just a glass of water will do the trick. Why use water? Because we use water to wash our faces every day, and the molecules of water are close to the molecules of skin, so anything that can be dissolved by water can be absorbed by the skin. Put an appropriate amount of the foundation or lotion you usually use into the water and observe its reaction. Generally, three situations will occur: sticking to the edge of the cup, floating on the water surface, or sinking to the bottom of the cup.

These three situations explain the ingredients it contains: what sticks to the edge of the cup is animal oil; what floats on the water is mineral oil; what sinks to the bottom of the cup is heavy metals, lead, mercury, etc.

2. Cleanser

① It has a light fragrance and should be water-soluble when squeezed on your hands, without any greasy feeling. ② Burn it with fire. Put the facial cleanser into a spoon and burn it with fire. If oil splashes out, it is not a good facial cleanser. If it becomes more and more like milk as it burns, it means it is a good facial cleanser. ③Try it with pH test paper and you will know. Just squeeze it onto the test paper and you will know.

①Shake vigorously and look at the bubbles after shaking. a. Few bubbles indicate less nutrients. b. If there are many large bubbles, it means it contains salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is effective in cleansing the skin, but it is very irritating and can cause allergies. c. If there are many fine bubbles that disappear quickly, it means it contains alcohol. Do not use it for a long time as it may damage the skin's protective film. d. The bubbles are fine and rich, forming a thick layer that lasts for a long time, which means the water is good.

②Good quality without alcohol taste. Bad use has a cooling sensation and smells a bit like alcohol.

③ Generally, lotions are colored. If they are not stored in the right place, are frequently exposed to sunlight, or are stored for too long, the color will fade.

④The toner bottle is not transparent, so don’t buy it. Because it cannot be identified.

①Smell the smell. Good products have pure ingredients and do not require strong fragrances to suppress product odor.

② If it is a lotion, take a glass of clean water and pour a little bit of the lotion into the water. If it floats on the water, it proves that it contains oleyl ester (which is not recommended for use in current cosmetics). Shake it and the water turns milky white, it proves that it contains emulsifier. Such cosmetics are not good. If the emulsion sinks to the bottom when poured into water, it does not contain oleyl ester and can be used. Experts say that oleol can damage the skin and cause it to become dry and dehydrated, because it is the main cause of clogged pores. Over time, the pores will become larger and larger.
