Are There Any Potential Side Effects of Using a Cleanser for Dry Skin?

Side Effects of Using a Cleanser for Dry Skin

Skin is the largest organ in our body and acts as a barrier in our body. Therefore, we owe our skin the best skin care products to maintain healthy-looking skin.

We know we have different skin types, from normal, to combination, to sensitive to dry and oily skin, and how we care for it is different.

Now, we will focus on discovering the side effects of using the wrong cleanser for dry skin.

Learn and Turn Your Skin Care Products

We must develop the habit of understanding our product's ingredients to clean our faces and body. We must also understand that our facial skin differs from our body skin.

The skin on our face is a lot thinner than our body. So if we have dry skin and we use the incorrect product, the tendency is that it makes our skin drier and causes it to be more irritated.

The ingredients that we have to watch out for in cleansers, most especially when we have dry skin, to avoid irritation, are:

·         SLS or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

·         Phthalates

·         Parabens

·         Propylene glycol

·         Formaldehyde

·         Toluene

·         DEA, MEA and TEA

·         Talc

·         Fragrance

The Side Effects of Using Wrong Cleansers for Dry Skin

Some of the cleansers sold in the market still contain the harmful ingredients mentioned above. The effects of these for a person with dry skin are:

·         Damaging lipids and proteins in the skin

·         Tightness of the skin

·         Barrier damage to the skin

·         Extreme irritation

·         Itchiness and redness 

·         The dryness can develop into skin peeling

·         Burning sensation

The Skin Care Product For Dry Skin

Prevent your skin from the horrible side effects that may affect your daily life and activities. If you see that the ingredient list contains harmful components, do not use those products anymore.

A skincare product we can use that is safe for dry skin is Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 236ml. This product is fragrance-free, non-irritating, vegan, dermatologically tested, and does not clog pores.

Cetaphil's hydrating products, free from harmful ingredients, are available at Pearl Chemist Group's online store.

How Covid-19 affects Women’s Sexual Health?

The novel Corona virus that has shook the world in a very short span of time, does not discriminate between the human beings it affects. However, gender seems to be playing a role in how it multiplies and kills a man and woman. Covid-19 virus affects men and women differently. It has been seen that the virus affects both men and women equally but the responses after entering the two different bodies is quite different. In men, the virus is seen to have more devastating effects than in women. The difference is due to the hormone – Oestrogen or Estrogens produced in women. The hormone makes it difficult for the virus to replicate in the cell. Conversely, Corona virus has affected women differently as the societal norms towards women are discriminatory and deliberately harmful towards women. Being stuck in a lockdown imposed due to the virus makes her more at risk of being impregnated or subjugated to other sorts of violence. Healthy sex practices have seen a down low due to the lack of
