Mite removal: How can cosmetics be “all-inclusive”?

Although our lives are surrounded by mites, there is no need to make a big deal out of it. Perhaps mites, like the dust in our air, can be at peace with each other if they are properly treated. And this treatment, not necessarily with those relatively expensive mite removal cosmetics, and certainly not with these cosmetics is sufficient to solve the problem.

1, consumers are not satisfied with the effect of mite removal cosmetics Our reporter came to the Tiankelong supermarket located near Beijing Second Foreign Language Institute, where we saw a number of products about mite removal such as facial cleansers, soaps and shower gels. When the reporter asked the salesperson what kind of people need to get rid of mites, the salesperson said that all people can get rid of mites, and many of us have mites on our faces. Subsequently, the reporter asked a Miss Li who was picking skin care products whether she had used mite removal products, Miss Li said she had used them before, but did not feel any difference with other products, and did not know whether she should get rid of mites, just bought with curiosity to try.

A Miss Lin also told this reporter that a year ago she had some small bumps on her face, and when she went to the mall to buy cosmetics, she saw a free mite test, so she took a test. When Miss Lin saw the mites moving under the microscope felt very uncomfortable and even a little fear. So, without letting the salesperson talk much, she bought the product that is said to be very effective in removing mites. When she first started using it, her face was a little sore, and after a while, the bumps on her face grew more and more itchy and painful, and she was only cured at the hospital. The doctor said that she is allergic, due to the indiscriminate use of mite cosmetics, disrupting the acid-base balance of the face, the original allergic reaction to the skin is naturally worse. Miss Li complained that when buying the business should have made it clear to consumers that mite removal products can cause allergic reactions, not just for the sake of sales without regard for the interests of consumers. Ms. Lin said that if her classmates in the same dormitory now want to buy mite products, she will advise them to consider carefully.

2, only when certain symptoms appear need to remove mites Although the mite cosmetic advertising flooded the media, some mite products also hit the “mite, the first step in skin care” slogan. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and popular products. The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the mites, which are permanent parasites in the human body and impossible to get rid of, and the possibility of mutual infection exists. a microscope magnified countless times, it infinitely magnifies your fears.

If the number of facial mites is small, there are usually no obvious symptoms that appear and there is no need to get rid of it. It is only when there are more insects, more oil secretion, more mite metabolites and inflammatory skin reactions, such as red spots, thickened skin, subcutaneous capillaries vaguely visible, enlarged hair follicles, that mites need to be removed.

3, effective mite removal can not rely solely on mite skin care products Zhang Wanxia, director of the current market mite removal products are cosmetics, they may have little possibility of side effects, but they are not drugs to treat mite infections, so their mite removal effect will not be very good, and may only have a little effect on very mild inflammation. Mite removal cosmetics must contain metronidazole, sulfur and other ingredients to have a therapeutic effect. If the manufacturer does not indicate the ingredients contained in its products, do not believe too much in the role of the cosmetic, consumers may as well buy some more allopathic drugs with the money used to buy cosmetics.

Yang Zhigang, vice president of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce Beauty and Cosmetics Chamber of Commerce, told this reporter that the Ministry of Health has recently stipulated that cosmetics are not allowed to propose such content as the removal of bacteria, and the same is true for mites. Businesses have gone a bit too far in promoting the side effects of mites, making it seem like everyone needs to get rid of mites. In fact, whether cosmetics can get rid of mites, what the effect is and how necessary it is to get rid of mites, experts in the industry are still exploring.

Zhang Wanxia, the director, stressed that if there are some skin disease symptoms caused by mite infection, it is best to go to a regular dermatologist for consultation. The specialist will choose the right dosage of relevant drugs to treat the symptoms. After all, cosmetics for mites are not a panacea, and if you use a dosage form that does not match your skin inflammation, it will be counterproductive and aggravate your symptoms.

Director Zhang Wanxia reminded consumers that in life, do not share bathing utensils; diet should be light, keep less oil, low fat, low sugar, and drink less or no alcohol.

4, mite cosmetics advertising is too much For the effect of mite cosmetics, Zhang Tianyi, director of the China Fragrance, Flavor and Cosmetics Industry Association, said clearly that cosmetics and drugs are essentially different, drugs have side effects and medical effects; while cosmetics can only improve the skin, it is not a cure. Zhang also explained that China has very strict requirements for cosmetics, and for some special functions of cosmetics, the state also has special management regulations, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Health. Currently in the national regulations on special purpose cosmetics, there are no mite removal products included in them. The phenomenon of misleading consumers in some mite removal advertisements and promotions is the result of irresponsible behavior of individual cosmetic manufacturers. They go so far as to use scenes of mites crawling all over their faces on their product advertisements to exaggerate the publicity, which is against science. Zhang Tianyi said that the phenomenon of misleading cosmetics advertising is not only in the mite products, in the bath, soap, toothpaste and other products, similar to the mite, bacteria, these problems are often seen, some skin problems even medical institutions can not solve, cosmetics can not exceed the authority?
