How to judge whether the mask contains fluorescent agent? The harm of fluorescent agent to the skin

Many people do not know whether there are fluorescent agents in facial masks. Fluorescent agents are ingredients banned by the country, but many businesses add fluorescent agents to facial masks. As users, we should learn how to identify fluorescent agents. The following methods will teach you.

How to determine whether the mask contains fluorescent agent

Method 1: Determine whether the mask contains fluorescent agent

Just turn off the lights and look at the colors in the dark. Masks containing excessive amounts of fluorescent powder will appear green or blue light. It is even more convenient with a banknote detector light, as the fluorescent powder will reflect light clearly under purple light.

Method 2: Determine whether the mask contains lead and mercury

Find a new dime and use the front of the coin to scratch the facial mask paper back and forth. If there is no change, it does not contain lead or mercury; if it turns black, it means it contains lead and mercury. The darker the color, the higher the lead and mercury content.

Method 3: Determine whether the mask contains hormones

After using a facial mask for a while, stopping using it may make your skin worse than if you had never used it in the first place. If you experience an allergic reaction when switching to other brands of skin care products, it is most likely due to hormones.

Method 4: Determine the antioxidant properties of the mask

Drop a drop of iodine on the facial mask. If the iodine fades or even becomes transparent, it can be considered that the facial mask has good antioxidant properties.

The harm of fluorescent agent to skin

1. Cause cell mutation

Long-term use of fluorescent facial masks will cause the fluorescent agent to be absorbed by the skin and enter the human body. After combining with proteins, it will cause cell mutations, which will not only harm other body organs, but the accumulated toxins may become carcinogenic factors, the most common of which is skin cancer.

2. Facial skin allergies

Fluorescent agent is a kind of dye with bleaching effect. After using the fluorescent mask, the fluorescent agent comes into direct contact with the skin. After the skin is irritated, it is very likely to produce a series of allergic phenomena, such as rashes, erythema, itching, pain, etc. If the fluorescent mask is used for a long time, it may even cause dermatitis, and in severe cases it may even induce skin cancer.

3. Discoloration of facial skin

I believe everyone has seen a news report before about a woman who used a fluorescent facial mask for a long time, and as a result, her facial skin was stained. After long-term use of fluorescent masks, the fluorescent agent on the mask will adhere to the surface of the skin, making the skin appear sparkling during the day, but once at night, the skin will become green or blue. This is the effect of the fluorescent agent on the face.

4. Harm to health

After using a fluorescent mask, the fluorescent agent not only exists on the surface of the skin, but is also likely to be absorbed by the skin over time and with dosage. Once the fluorescent agent enters the human body, it is difficult to be excreted through metabolism. The more fluorescent agent in the body, the more toxins accumulate. Various body organs will gradually fail due to the accumulation of toxins, thereby endangering health.
