Alcohol is one of the worst ingredients and the best skin firming lotion or gel will not contain specific alcohols such as methanol, isopropyl, benzyl, ethanol and ethyl alcohol. They cause your skin to become very dry and irritated.
What happens is the alcohol removes the skins natural acid mantle, which makes you more susceptible to viruses, moulds and bacteria.
Alcohols that are ok to use are stearly and cetearyl alcohol. These particular alcohols are actually waxes that are not related to the harmful types.
Fragrances are another ingredient that the best skin firming lotion or gel will not contain. Actually, around four thousand different ingredients can be labelled fragrances. Many of these fragrances are potentially carcinogenic.
Triclosan is an anti bacterial agent that is often found in skin care products. In fact, it is also used in weed killer. Triclosan can contribute to creating strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. Certainly, this is a substance to avoid.
