Why do small grains appear after applying the mask?

If small bumps appear on your skin after using a facial mask, you must be vigilant. In recent years, more and more people have used facial masks, which has also found a market for some counterfeit products. If we use facial masks made from counterfeit products, it will not only fail to maintain the skin, but will also have side effects on the skin. For example, some facial masks contain hormones. This is very harmful to skin care.

Side effects of facial mask on the body

1. Facial mask fluorescent agent may cause liver damage

Tests showed that facial masks containing fluorescent agents all clearly mentioned the "whitening effect" in their promotions, and some even said "make a slightly yellow face as white as snow." Zheng Libo, director of the cosmetics department of the Beijing Daily Chemical Association, said that facial masks that make your skin look brighter after use are likely to have problems. The fluorescent agent absorbs ultraviolet rays and reflects light blue fluorescence, which neutralizes the yellow color of the skin and makes the skin look radiant and bright.

If fluorescent agents come into contact with the skin for a long time, they can easily irritate the epidermis and cause allergies; once they enter the human body, they may even accumulate in the liver and cause damage.

2. There are no clear regulations on adding fluorescent agents to cosmetics

The reporter consulted the food and drug supervision and administration department and learned that since it is difficult to determine whether the fluorescent effect is caused by a fluorescent agent, and the source of the fluorescent agent in the product is also difficult to define, there are currently no regulations that clearly stipulate the addition of fluorescent agents to cosmetics.

However, at present, the State Food and Drug Administration has published the relevant information on the list of raw materials used in existing qualified cosmetics (draft for comments), and fluorescent agents are not included in the list. This means that once the list is determined, cosmetic manufacturers must report to the relevant departments to add fluorescent agents to the raw material list if they want to add them to their products.

3. Compressed non-woven fabric self-made water film can only replenish water for a short time

Some beauty lovers like to use ordinary compressed non-woven fabrics to make their own lotion or even pure water mask. Experts tell us that doing so can only achieve a short-term hydrating effect. It is recommended that you use some viscous essence when making facial masks at home, rather than just using ordinary skin care water or purified water.

4. Continuous application of facial masks can easily burden the skin

Experts also recommend: Unless your skin is in an extremely tired state, you can apply a facial mask for several days in a row, otherwise too many nutrients will cause a burden on the skin.
