Book: Can You get Hooked on Lip Balm?

A few weeks back I came across this book at a utilized book store: Can You get Hooked on Lip Balm?

I couldn’t withstand as well as bought it.  I’ve checked out many of it now as well as while there’s a great deal of just typical sense guidance “Do curling shampoos truly work?” (no) or “Is it risk-free to utilize lipstick on your cheeks?” (yes), I likewise discovered a few things. Today I’m sharing this about the notorious Aspirin mask.

The book is written by the two guy who are behind the blog The charm Brains, Perry Romanowski as well as Randy Schueller.  It’s fascinating to see things from the point of view of chemists, who are purely focused on the science behind cosmetic products, and with no program (ie. pushing their own products).

On pg 59, the concern is:

Is an Aspirin mask great for the skin?

Response (paraphrased):

The active component in aspirin is the medication called acetylsalicylic acid.  After you swallow an aspirin tablet, it travels to your little intestine where this component is damaged down to produce salicylic acid…  which belongs to the class of chemicals understood as beta hydroxy acids, or BHAs.  BHAs are similar to AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids).  Both BHAs as well as AHAs are understood for their capability to to assist slough off dead skin cells when used topically.

In theory, crushing aspirin tablets as well as scrubing them on your deal with might be advantageous since you’re providing a skin-smoothing BHA, right?  Well, not exactly.

You’re truly providing acetylsalicylic acid to the skin – not salicylic acid, which is the active BHA.  And just scrubing the acetyl version on your skin won’t make it convert to the salicylic acid version… a few of the salicylic acid is present, however it definitely isn’t an optimized doze.

The book goes on to suggest just purchasing a BHA product formulated for the skin.

Dobrze! I utilized to crush aspirins as well as mix it with water or aloe vera as well as slather it on my face, I believed I was so clever! Did any type of of you make your own aspirin mask?

I’ll publish a few much more snippets from this book if you’re interested!

EDIT: because so numerous of  you are asking, so can you get hooked on lip balm?  The charm Brains’ response: SORTA.
They stated that continuously hydrating the lips doesn’t enable the dry skin to slough off, therefore disrupting the natural renewal cycle, making the lips feel much more dry – thus reapplying much more lip balm. producing a vicious cycle.
