Will skin care products make the skin addictive?

Under normal circumstances, the skin does not become dependent on skin care products. On the contrary, for skin troubled by skin diseases, reasonable skin care products can also play a role in gently conditioning and repairing the skin, and enhance the skin's own natural resistance. For some chronic skin diseases such as dermatitis and eczema, the targeted use of skin care products must be a long-term process, and long-term use is required before they are completely cured. Long-term use of skin care products is very beneficial to your skin, provided that you use the right skin care products and can effectively target your skin problems. But why do some people feel addicted to skincare products? That's because improper use of skin care products makes your skin sensitive.

Why using skin care products can make your skin sensitive

1. Impaired skin barrier function

Damage to the skin's barrier function leads to skin sensitivity. The skin is the first barrier of our body, which can protect various tissues and organs in the body from harmful external factors. The skin barrier often refers to the barrier structure in a narrow sense, which is composed of the sebum membrane, stratum corneum cells (which can be described as bricks), and intercellular matrix (described as mortar). The unique brick wall structure can prevent the loss of water in the body and block the invasion of foreign substances.

2. Exposure to hormone-based skin care products

When the skin comes into contact with hormone products, the skin cells are damaged, the stratum corneum becomes thinner, the skin's moisture level decreases, and ultimately the skin's barrier function weakens, making it unable to fundamentally resist external stimuli. Then the nerve fibers of the skin will often be disturbed by the outside world, causing skin sensitivity problems. Skin sensitivity problems may be caused by contact with hormones or irritating skin care products. The root cause is that the quality of the skin care products is not up to standard. You should reflect on whether you have bought fake skin care products or three-no skin care products. The hormones we often talk about generally refer to glucocorticoids, also known as corticosteroids, which are a type of adrenal cortex hormones and one of many types of hormones. Glucocorticoids are very cheap and can be extracted from the adrenal cortex of animals. Other hormones that we are familiar with include androgens, estrogens, progestersone, melatonin, thyroid hormone, etc. The experience we get from using hormone-based skin care products is that our skin feels great after a few days of use, but once we stop using them, the skin will quickly get worse, so we have to continue using them. This gives us the feeling that our skin has become dependent on the skin care products.

3. Excessive cleaning and skin care lead to skin sensitivity

Excessive skin care and the use of a large amount of skin care products will cause the cells in the stratum corneum of the skin to become saturated, resulting in hydration dermatitis. The skin's metabolic capacity is weakened, which in turn brings more burden to the skin. After you stop or reduce the use of skin care products, the skin's metabolic function will return to normal and the skin will improve. For example, you only need to use a facial mask 2-3 times a week, and wash your face in the morning and evening and apply lotion and cream for basic skin care. Don't believe in various skin care tips and remedies, which will cause your originally good face to become sensitive skin. Also, it is best to use facial cleanser twice a day, and do not use various excessive cleansing products. If you insist on doing so, then our skin's stratum corneum will be damaged, the barrier function will be weakened, and skin sensitivity problems will easily occur.

How to avoid buying skin care products containing hormones

First of all, we should not be greedy for cheapness, and secondly, we should not be greedy for quick results. Many skin care products claim to be effective in a few days, so they must be skin care products with added hormones, otherwise it will not be so easy to see the effects. Avoid contact with skin care products containing hormones, so you won’t become dependent on them. In short, skin care products will not make your skin dependent, unless you buy hormone-containing skin care products. It is recommended that people with sensitive skin use some brands specially designed for sensitive skin, such as Yuze, Kangfumei, La Roche-Posay, Curel and other hormone-free products for sensitive skin.
