Even though it may seem like a wonder the simple fact of removing makeup using a wet wipe, after a tiring day, in fact, the effect can be the exact opposite. Using makeup remover wipes regularly can seriously damage your skin and cause a variety of problems.
O awesome.club discovered six reasons why you should think twice before using this type of product to remove makeup. Check out!
1. May cause dryness
Wet wipes contain alcohol and this substance, in addition to removing makeup, also eliminates the skin’s natural oils. The lack of moisture can cause the skin to dry out. Even so, these wipes don’t clean your face effectively and still leave residue, making your skin less absorbent. Therefore, the effect of the moisturizer, after cleaning the face with makeup remover wipes, may not be as effective as you would like.
2. May cause allergic reactions
Wet wipes can cause allergic reactions. Redness and pigmentation are common, but severe reactions can also occur. In 2015, a woman suffered an adverse reaction and using the baby wipes left her with burn blisters on her fingers and face. If you really need to use this wipe for facial cleansing, it is recommended, first of all, to read the label and check the ingredients, to make sure there are no substances that can irritate your skin. When in doubt, test on a neutral area of the body to see if any unexpected reactions will occur.
3. It can clog pores and cause pimples
People use facial wipes to get rid of dirt, excess oil, makeup and so on, but they don’t realize that this product always leaves residue on the skin. Sometimes the result will be the opposite of what you want: the wipe can clog pores and cause pimples.
4. Can cause cancer
The “dampness” in these wipes is the result of chemicals and preservatives, which can often be harmful to the skin. Parabens, a class of chemicals used in cosmetics and present in some of these wipes, have been linked to breast cancer because they mimic the properties of estrogen and can cause breast cells to enlarge.
5. May cause premature aging in the eye area
Using makeup remover wipes can make you age prematurely in the eye area due to a physical factor: by repeatedly rubbing the tissue in this area of the face daily, the force of movement will irritate the skin and contribute to possible inflammation, causing changes in the structure of the tissue and even wrinkles.
6. There’s nothing better than washing your face
It is clinical consensus that makeup remover wipes never really clean the skin. As recently demonstrated by Dr. Tijion Esho in a video, they only serve to spread dirt, bacteria, oil and makeup all over the skin of the face, giving a false impression of cleanliness. Washing your face is still the best and most recommended way to remove any product, according to dermatologists.
