Multitasking means - to use or not?
Another issue that I want to ask the experts: Due to lack of time, would like to use means "2 in 1", as a rule, cleansers with exfoliating effect. How effective are these tools?

The answer is found in the book of Dr. Debra Dzhaliman.

 - Cleansing with chemical exfoliants useless!
When we talk about chemical exfoliation, we have primarily acid AHA and BHA (alpha and beta gidrokisloty). These acids are dissolved dead skin cells, removing them from the skin. By alfagidrokislotam include, for example, such as lactic acid or glycolic acid. They not only exfoliate, but moisturize, and even stimulate the production of collagen. AHA-acid is most suitable for people with sensitive and sun-damaged skin.

Salicylic acid belongs to betagidrokislotam, it is more suitable for people with oily skin because of its ability to penetrate into the pores by removing dirt there, the excess fat and dead cells. Such action prevents the formation of pimples and blackheads.

So why these acids in the detergent composition gels, foams or mousses do not work? The fact is that they should remain on the skin for longer than 30 seconds. Cleaning components in multi-tasking tools do not allow chemical exfoliants to "work", they wash them. Well, the washing procedure usually takes us seconds.

Salicylic acid acts on the skin if left for a few minutes and when it remains at the desired concentration. Glycolic acid is neutralized with water at all, so even if the cleanser with glycolic acid left on the skin longer, it will have no effect.

Thus, the advice from dermatologists: Save your money, use separate cleaners and acid separately for chemical peeling. However, there is good news.

 - Cleansing with natural exfoliants - effectively.
The physical we include abrasive particles or grains which are not to remain on the skin to exfoliate. We just massaging the skin with these particles and grains, which are mechanically cleanse the skin of dead cells.

But be careful to detergents with natural exfoliants. Some particles can injure the skin, which will cause more harm than good. If the product is irritating to the skin - immediately stop using it.

Output from Debra Dzhaliman:   attentive to multitasking detergents. Often manufacturers impose our waste products.
