Alcohol in Skincare -What Types are Good and Bad for You

ArianneUpdated on January 16, 2019January 16, 2019

Beauty Quickie: When it comes to alcohol in skincare products, do you know which ones are good or bad for your skin? Yes, not all alcohols are created equal or necessarily bad; even though, oftentimes alcohol becomes like a dirty word when it comes to skincare products.

Well, today we are going to change all of that for you. We are going to give you a comprehensive list of good as well as bad alcohols normally found in skincare items. Additionally, we will briefly you tell you exactly what they are capable of doing to or for your skin.

Alcohol in Skincare -What Types are Good and Bad for You

Do you want the good news or bad news first? Well, let’s get the bad out the way. Bad alcohols unfortunately zap and evaporate moisture from the skin and can irritate it. Yikes. Here is a list of baddies to avoid:

Alcohol
Alcohol Denat
Ethanol
Ethanol Alcohol
Denature Alcohol
Methanol
Benzyl Alcohol
Isopropyl Alcohol
SD Alcohol
SD Alcohol 40

Now for the good. The good alcohols you find in products can bring some benefit to your skin. They are actually “fatty alcohols” that work as emollients that are naturally hydrating and moisturizing. So then, if you could use a little help in the hydration department you will want to look for a product that includes at least one of the following:

Glycol
C12-16
Cetyl Alcohol
Stearyl Alcohol
Lauryl Alcohol
Cetearyl Alcohol
Myristyl Alcohol
Butylene Glycol
Propanediol

There you have it. The good and the bad. As one can see, it is always very important to know what is in your skincare products. Always check the ingredients list on the back to ensure your skin is being treated properly.

Did you know there are two different types of aging? Well, in today’s Beauty Quickie we are going to briefly breakdown down to the two types of aging you must know.

Beauty Quickie: Aging Face -The Two Types You Must Know

There are two types of aging, Intrinsic and Extrinsic. Intrinsic is chronological aging. It is a natural process responsible for 20% of aging. This type can be very difficult to control because it is already determined by genes.

That brings to Extrinsic aging. Extrinsic is influenced by external factors. 80% of premature aging is caused by lifestyle choices. Which means you are still very much in control of what your face will look like. Factors include such things as sun exposure, smoking, repetitive facial expressions, a poor skin regimen as well as an unhealthy diet.

Oftentimes women as well as men ignore taking care of their skin as a teenager or while in their twenties. Uh, wrong move babe! While it is never too late to start a skincare routine that will eliminate various skin issues. Prevention is still the best way to stave off any future problems.

Therefore, take the information in this post and use it to your advantage. Be aware of any factors that may cause premature aging and steer clear. Plus, regardless of your age you are never too young to start taking amazing care of your skin. If you do you can avoid a badly aging face and maintain a more youthful appearance.

Skincare Products: Thanks to genetics your skin may not “crack” but it is always good to help the process anyway. Don’t know where to start? Check out the Image Skincare Ageless Collection. The collection’s product range which includes serum, masque, cleanser and moisturizer; is specially formulated for aging skin.

What are the benefits of using herbal beauty products? For one, you are saying a big fat no to chemicals. Second, harsh ingredients can have harsh effects on skin. In some cases even causing irritation and outbreaks. In short, natural products work with your skin not against it.

Herbal ingredients in body care products date back to even thousands of years ago. Queens and royalty of ancient times would indulge in luxurious, all natural skin care treatments. As a result, such treatments were performed to keep skin youthful and from aging prematurely.

Herbal treatments early beginnings can be traced back to ancient Egypt and Ethiopia to name a few regions. Herbs and plants were put to good use in order to cleanse, heal, protect and at times even prevent wrinkles from appearing in skin. Furthermore, what works for any royal is worth giving a go right?

The Story of Taitu Botanicals

Speaking of royals, the rich meaning behind the Taitu Botanicals name is simply exquisite! Taitu Botanicals founder, Montez Teferi based the name of her deluxe body care line after Empress Taitu the wife of Ethopian Emperor Menelik II. The beloved Empress Taitu was and still is remembered for her love of Africa and stunning beauty.

Montz Teferi

Her collection of products blends only the finest fragrant oils as well as herbs found from all over the world. We tested out a few of her amazing products and loved them!

Taitu Botanicals Sea Breeze Natural Soap

First of all we absolutely love the fragrance of this soap! The earthy, fresh scent takes you away to a very relaxing place. Plus, it is the perfect soap for sensitive skin, which many of us here at 1966 have to worry about. The soap caused ZERO irritation and caused not one single negative reaction. Therefore, if skin sensitivity is an issue this soap is definitely the answer.

The packaging is also very lovely. The Sea Breeze Natural Soap comes wrapped inside a woven pouch. The pouch is closed with a pretty bow. Immediately it felt as though we were unwrapping a luxurious gift for ourselves. We love great presentation and this product possesses just that.

We always love products that can serve more than one purpose. When you live a hectic schedule such products can help you save time without sacrificing pampering or results. Taitu Botanicals Rosemary Peppermint oil can be used on the body and your hair.

Beauty Question: What on Earth is an Emulsifier?

Arianne Suggs September 24, 2015September 24, 2015Leave a Comment

Beauty Answer: Emulsifiers are soap-based substances that are added to numerous beauty products to ensure any water-based or oils remain binded together. Naturally, oil and water do not mix with one another. For instance, if you have ever boiled pasta you must likely added oil to the water to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Nevertheless, if you took a closer look into the pot most likely you noticed that the oil and water did not combine or mix. The oil stayed completely intact in little oil droplets.

So then, this means that emulsifiers help achieve something that is not a natural process. Since emulsifiers are added it allows users the convenience of not having to constantly shake a product in order to get the product ingredients to bind back together. Although they obviously help to save time, does this mean they are completely harmless?

Not quite, our beauty lovelies, here is something you might not know about emulsifiers. These substances can be found in products that we use everyday such as lotions, creams and body washes. Once these products are applied to the skin and any oil or water is absorbed or evaporated the emulsifiers are left behind leaving residue. This very residue can cause damage to your skin’s protective layer and produce dryness. When we are young our skin tends to produce more oils but as we get older or skin is dryer which causes our skin to age faster. Therefore, avoiding dryness is like protecting our fountain of youth.

Get Clear Radiant Skin All Over Naturally

Arianne Suggs June 16, 2015June 16, 2015Leave a Comment

“Wow I absolutely love the bumpy pimple look!” Said literally no woman ever…acne can seem to spring up over night and without warning. Oh and if it was only a problem that could be found on our faces. Blemishes can reveal themselves also in the neck, chest and back regions to name a few. Therefore, is there anything that can be done to control acne naturally?

You could hit the beauty aisle but the products and skin medications you find there may contain chemicals that have the ability to diminish pimples, but many women find them to be excessively drying. Or such products could be too strong for sensitive skin causing irritation. Simply replace those options with a little known natural ingredient…witch hazel. All you have to do is rub witch hazel on your back, face, chest or neck to help prevent acne.
