Surfactants are chemicals that make it easier for water and oil to mix. Those created artificially are called synthetic surfactants. Since milky lotions and creams are made by mixing water and oil, many cosmetics product use synthetic surfactants. An important characteristic of synthetic surfactants is their strong skin permeating abilities. However, the problem is that these chemicals are not very good for the skin.
“The more synthetic surfactants a product contains, the easier it is for customers to use and the better it feels on the skin. It ‘seems’ like a good product, but actually, the synthetic surfactants inside are damaging the skin, causing spots, freckles, and wrinkles,” says Fujio Sugai, the director of Shiba Dermatology Clinic.
Why do synthetic surfactant-containing products cause spots, freckles, and wrinkles?
One of the most important parts of the skin is the intercellular lipids between your skin cells. If skin cells were tiles, this intercellular lipid would be the glue gluing the tiles down.
”产品包含了更多的合成表面活性剂，它就容易被客户使用跟在皮肤上的感觉更好。这似乎是一个不错的产品，但实际上，里面的合成表面活性剂会损害皮肤，造成黑斑，雀斑，皱纹“，据 Fujio Sugai，director of Shiba Dermatology Clinic所说。
为什么合成表面活性剂产品会造成斑点，雀斑和皱纹？
皮肤最重要的部件之一是你的皮肤细胞之间的细胞间脂质。如果皮肤细胞的瓷砖，这间脂质，将胶水粘合瓷砖下来。
The problem with synthetic surfactants is that it removes skin cells and dissolves this “glue”. What happens to tiles when the glue is gone? It comes off. Just like this, the skin’s barrier abilities are destroyed.
This is the answer to why synthetic surfactant-containing cosmetics seem to permeate the skin better. It’s destroying the skin’s barrier on the way.
Why does this cause spots, freckles, and wrinkles? When the skin's barriers are damaged, this causes toxins and bacteria to enter the skin easily, leading to acne and other skin problems.
与合成表面活性剂的问题是，它消除皮肤细胞和溶解这种“胶水”。胶水被消除时那瓷砖呢，会发生什么？了。就这样，皮肤的屏障能力被摧毁。
这是为什么合成表面活性剂含有化妆品似乎更好地渗透到皮肤的答案。它摧毁的道路上皮肤的屏障。
为什么会造成黑斑，雀斑，皱纹呢？当皮肤的屏障被破坏，这会导致毒素和细菌容易进入皮肤，导致痤疮等皮肤问题。
Toxins, bacteria, and synthetic surfactants that reach the depths of your skin stimulate your melanin cells, thus creating spots and freckles. The production of melanin is the second stage of your skin’s barrier. Melanin cells produce melanin when it detects harmful matters entering the skin. This is how the body tried to prevent these substances from entering the deeper layers of your skin.
Because synthetic surfactants destroy the skin’s natural barrier, using products containing these chemicals not only allow harmful substances enter the body, but it also prevents the skin from staying moisturized. This causes a state of continual dryness, which in turn, causes wrinkles.
毒素，细菌和合成表面活性剂达到你的皮肤深处刺激黑色素细胞，从而形成斑点和雀斑。黑色素的产生是第二阶段皮肤的屏障。当它检测到有害物质进入皮肤的黑色素细胞产生黑色素。这是身体如何设法防止这些物质进入皮肤深层。
因为合成表面活性剂会破坏皮肤的天然屏障，使用含有这些化学物质的产品不仅使有害物质进入人体，但它也阻止住滋润肌肤。这会导致持续干燥，这反过来，导致皱纹的状态。
