Seborrheic keratosis: how to treat this common aesthetic concern
07/09/2023
Cosmetic fasting is a dermatological technique useful when facial skin goes into crisis due to the use of cosmetic products.
The use of multiple cosmetic products, both skincare and decorative, in a daily routine exposes skin cells to dozens of chemical ingredients, regardless of whether they are of plant, animal, or synthetic origin.
This repeated daily and long-term overexposure leads to the saturation of the detoxifying properties of epidermal cells, and disorders begin.
Indice
Cosmetic Dermatitis
Cosmetic dermatitis is polymorphic and is often confused with typical facial dermatitis such as Acne, Rosacea, Acne Rosacea, Seborrheic Dermatitis, Atopic Dermatitis, and Psoriasis. Generally, a cosmetic manifestation can simulate one of the aforementioned dermatitis or worsen the various dermatitis already in progress.
Dermatitis and Cosmetic: a vicious cycle
When facial dermatitis appears, possibly not induced by cosmetics, for example, Late Acne, the subject may attempt to cover the imperfections of Late Acne by increasing the use of cosmetic products, in this example, concealing foundation. At this point, the Late Acne worsens due to the foundation. The same applies to other facial dermatitis.
How to Understand if Dermatitis is Caused or Aggravated by Cosmetics?
The best and quickest way to understand if dermatitis is caused or aggravated by cosmetics is to suspend all cosmetics, i.e., switch to Cosmetic Fasting.
How Long Should Cosmetic Fasting Last?
Usually, in two or three weeks of complete cessation of the entire cosmetic routine, i.e., washing morning and evening with tap water, it is possible to understand how much the dermatitis was determined by cosmetics or how much the dermatitis was worsened by cosmetics. This observation is important for the dermatologist to suggest specific remedies without confusion. In many cases, after Cosmetic Fasting, the total regression of dermatitis is observed, which in this case was caused and maintained by the use of cosmetics. It is important that Cosmetic Fasting is genuinely complete, and the only exception that can be allowed is the application of Mineral Makeup. DermaClub suggests using Sun Clay, which also has an anti-inflammatory action due to its high clay content.
