Silicone in Skincare
On silicon in skin care
The way of skin care today, the application of silicon is becoming more and more widespread. Silicon, in the field of skin care, has different effects.

Silicon is used in skin care products, one of which can improve the texture. When applied to the skin, it feels silky to the touch, just like a layer of delicate tulle covering the skin, making it smooth and unhindered when applied, without a sense of stagnation. And it can make the texture of skin care products lighter, not heavy and sticky, even if applied in multiple layers, there is no burden.

In addition, silicon has good film-forming properties. When applied to the surface of the skin, a thin protective film can be quietly formed. This film does not hinder the skin's breathing, but acts as a guard, which can resist the invasion of external dust and pollutants, and still build a barrier for the skin. At the same time, it helps to lock in the skin's own moisture, reduce moisture loss, and maintain the skin's hydrated state.

However, silicon is also controversial. After using silicone-containing skin care products for a long time, some people feel that the skin's air permeability is slightly poor, and the pores seem to be blocked. Because of the dense film formation of silicon, it may affect the discharge of normal metabolic wastes from the skin. And if it is not clean, the residual silicon will remain on the skin, and in the long run, it may cause skin problems to breed.

Those who want to use silicone-containing skin care products need to make a careful choice according to their own skin type. Those with oily skin are prone to clogging pores due to their strong sebaceous glands. When using silicone-containing products, you should be especially cautious and pay attention to cleaning to prevent pores from being blocked. For dry and sensitive skin, if the composition of silicone is moderate, you can use it to moisturize and protect the skin, moisturize the skin, and soothe sensitivity.

In short, when it comes to skin care, the application of silicon should be comprehensively weighed and used rationally to achieve the best condition of skin care, rejuvenate the skin, and maintain its healthy and moist state.
