Irritants include a wide range of ingredients, among them essential oils, drying alcohols (such as denatured or SD-types of alcohol), harsh scrub ingredients, menthol, camphor, and fragrance ingredients, both natural and synthetic. The effects of irritants in many cases are immediately apparent – you can feel skin tightening, tingling, or burning – but in many other instances, the irritation occurs over time and might not be noticeable, yet damage is happening below skin’s surface. Many people who describe their skin as sensitive have used irritating ingredients that have done damage over weeks, months, or years of use, creating a chronic state of reactive, sensitized skin. The result of using irritants includes more than redness and sensitivity. For those with oily skin, irritation can trigger a process that increases oiliness and breakouts; for those with dry skin, their skin gets drier, feeling tight and even flaky. When choosing skin care products, irritants are always ingredients to avoid! Relaterade ingredienser: Alcohol Menthol Essential Oil Camphor
