Alcohol is a major ingredient in many skin care products, like anti aging products and even organic lotions. Even natural skin care treatments can have alcohol in them. Alcohol is the worst ingredient for any skin care product because alcohol is a drying agent itself. It evaporates quickly and takes any moisture in your skin with it.

You want a natural skin care treatment that contains natural oils to hold moisture in the skin along with actually adding moisture. Skin dried with alcohol is prone to chafing, stinging and itching. This leads to opening the skin from scratching. Mildly irritated skin becomes damaged skin when alcohol is applied.

Acne prone people should not be tempted to use alcohol based skin treatment either. Yes, alcohol is a cleaning agent, but it will removed oils in your skin that heal as well! This will leave your skin dry and susceptible to more skin problems and less able to heal acne.

If alcohol is used with other harmful ingredients, like parabens or commercial chemicals, the irritation from alcohol opens the skin up to even more harmful exposure. These chemicals more easily enter the bloodstream and surrounding skin leading to serious conditions that could have been avoided. Dry skin is always best treated with natural oils and natural scrubs. Try switching and watch the problems disappear.

A sure way to avoid alcohol in your skin care products is to make your own natural spa products.
