When the Rubbing Mud Bath was first launched in 2009, everyone thought this product was amazing. It can easily rub off so many dead skins on the body. It is really a skin savior. As more and more people use it It's not that I can return your white and tender skin as I imagined, but just give you a bunch of disgusting "mud". Later, various exfoliating creams appeared one after another, and even some explosive skin care products can show exaggerated "mud rubbing" phenomenon, so what is going on with mud rubbing?
Carbomer is the most common thickener. Almost all brands, large and small, as well as various types of cosmetics-toners, masks, creams, lotions, essences, etc. are added. The purpose of adding carbomer is to make the product look sticky, textured and nutritious. Some skin care products will add cationic surfactants (cationic surfactants). Cationic surfactants are the main ingredients of conditioners and softeners. They have antistatic and softening effects. They are also found in many skin care products and are also used to increase the skin. Soft and smooth to the touch. When carbomer and cationic watch live in love, on the skin with pH>4, their love crystallization-"flocculent precipitation" was born, and the product itself contains a lot of solid powder, the scene is even more spectacular, in addition , If a product itself has more carbomers, no CP is needed, the product itself can be rubbed out.
What ingredient/product is the easiest to rub mud?
In fact, each brand has its own formula, and each prefers certain ingredients. If they are mixed and matched, it will cause mud rubbing. For example, Innisfree, Neutrogena, Yue Muzhiyuan, as well as Biore's sunscreen, I love Carbomer. And brands like Clinique, Estee Lauder, and OLAY love to use cation watch. If you mix and match brands, one with carbomer and one with cation watch, then congratulate you on playing mud happily, so everyone’s best It is safer to use a whole set of brands.
How to avoid rubbing mud:
1. Avoid rubbing mud CP products
It is not easy to rub mud with the full range of products of a certain brand alone, but if you mix and match your own, you should avoid the encounter of muddy CPs. For example, don't mix and match Innisfree when using Clinique.
2. Avoid brands that love rubbing mud
If you find that the brand or product you bought happens to belong to the love-rubbing family mentioned earlier, and there is a better alternative on hand, then change it first.
3. Time for skin absorption
One reason for rubbing mud is that skin care products are thick and form a film on the surface of the skin. Like glue, it is easy to rub mud. It is recommended to take each step slowly and wait until it is absorbed before the next step.
4. Smudge technique
The "rubbing and rubbing" method is very easy to rub mud. If it is a skin care product, you can apply it evenly on your hands now. After preheating, gently spread it and apply it again to promote absorption.
5. Exfoliating
If you find that you are rubbing the mud, and you have not absorbed any skin care products recently, and your face is darker and yellow, it may be that the stratum corneum is thicker. You can use a gentle method to remove it.
In fact, carbomer is added in a normal proportion and under normal circumstances, carbomer is very stable. It will stay on your face honestly until it is washed off by the facial cleanser at night. Cationic surfactants are also found in many skin care products to increase the softness and smoothness of the skin.
