What are the disadvantages of using alcohol to wipe your face

Alcohol is a substance with relatively active chemical properties, and people love it very much because it can be used to make various alcoholic beverages, adding a lot of fun and enjoyment to people's diet. Alcohol also has other uses. For example, people who love beauty like to use alcohol to wipe their faces because alcohol has a disinfecting effect. But in fact, wiping your face with alcohol is not a correct practice. Let’s take a look at the disadvantages of wiping your face with alcohol.

1. The benefits of applying alcohol on your face : it can kill bacteria and disinfect, lower skin temperature, and clean facial oils.

Alcohol has a good bactericidal effect. Therefore, wiping your face with alcohol frequently can remove bacteria and other microorganisms on the face, and has a certain effect in preventing acne. But don’t forget that alcohol is also fat-soluble and will dissolve the oil on your face, which will cause the skin to become too dry.

2. Disadvantages of applying alcohol on the face:

1. Alcohol has a strong penetrating power and can penetrate into the cells. The protein coagulates and denatures, causing the cells to dehydrate, and the skin will gradually lose its elasticity.

2. Alcohol is highly volatile, which takes away the heat and moisture of the skin, causing dry and rough skin, vigorous sebum secretion, and enlarged pores;

3. When cosmetics containing alcohol are applied on the skin, a photosensitivity reaction will occur, causing the skin pigmentation to darken and produce spots.

4. Alcohol paralyzes cells, making it difficult for cells to distinguish between good and bad nutrients, thus absorbing some substances that are harmful to the skin, making the skin no longer healthy;

5. Alcohol is irritating to the skin and can cause rough skin and severe premature aging.

Prevention and control of alcohol hazards

1. When the skin is in contact with the product too much, take off the contaminated clothes and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water;

2. If alcohol is accidentally dropped into the eyes, lift the eyelids and rinse with running water or saline. If the situation is serious, seek medical attention immediately;

3. When a large amount of alcohol is inhaled through the nose, quickly leave the scene to a place with fresh air and keep the airway open. If breathing difficulties or respiratory arrest occur, perform artificial respiration immediately and seek medical attention in time.

4. If you accidentally ingest alcohol, drink plenty of warm water to induce vomiting. If that doesn’t work, seek medical attention immediately.
