Czy wcierki do włosów się spłukuje? Kompletny poradnik pielęgnacji skóry głowy

Czy wcierki do włosów się spłukuje? Kompletny poradnik pielęgnacji skóry głowy

by Magdalenia Kania - trycholog kliniczny

Wcierki do włosów wracają do łask. Na TikToku pojawiają się setki filmików z baby hair, na YouTubie ludzie pokazują kuracje przeciw wypadaniu włosów, a marki prześcigają się w tworzeniu coraz bardziej zaawansowanych formuł. Zainteresowanie jest ogromne, ale… pytania też.

Najczęstsze pytanie brzmi:
„czy wcierki do włosów się spłukuje?”

Można się uśmiechnąć, bo wydaje się to oczywiste, a jednak to pytanie ma sens. Wcierki różnią się strukturą, składem, sposobem działania i tym, jak powinny być stosowane. Niektóre faktycznie można stosować przed myciem, ale większości nie wolno spłukiwać, jeśli chcemy zobaczyć jakikolwiek efekt.

W tym wpisie  wyjaśniam krok po kroku wszystko, co musisz wiedzieć o wcierkach.
Prosto, obrazowo, konkretnie.

Dlaczego w ogóle używamy wcierek?

Wcierka to kosmetyk, który działa bezpośrednio na skórę głowy - miejsce, gdzie rodzi się włos. To tam znajduje się mieszek włosowy, cebulka, mikrokrążenie i cały „system zarządzający” wzrostem włosa.

W praktyce wcierka może:

  • ograniczyć wypadanie włosów
  • przyspieszyć porost
  • pobudzić krążenie
  • zagęścić włosy
  • zmniejszyć przetłuszczanie
  • poprawić nawilżenie skóry głowy
  • wzmocnić cebulkę
  • zmniejszyć miniaturyzację włosa (początek łysienia)

To kosmetyk, który realnie działa, ale tylko wtedy, kiedy stosuje się go poprawnie. I tu wracamy do pytania dnia…

Czy wcierki do włosów się spłukuje? Krótka odpowiedź

Nie. Większości wcierek DO WŁOSÓW NIE SPŁUKUJEMY.

Wcierki powstają po to, aby:

  • pozostać na skórze głowy,
  • wchłaniać się przez wiele godzin,
  • stopniowo oddziaływać na mieszek włosowy.

Spłukanie jej po 10 minutach to jak wypicie kawy i natychmiastowe umycie zębów – niby coś się zadziało, ale nie zadziałało tak, jak miało.

Wyjątki istnieją, ale są rzadkie. Są to głównie wcierki:

  • olejowe (używane przed myciem)
  • alkoholowe „pre-wash”
  • z bardzo intensywnymi olejkami, jeśli skóra jest nadwrażliwa

Ale jeśli kupujesz klasyczną wcierkę przeciw wypadaniu, tonik trychologiczny lub booster do skóry głowy - nie spłukujesz.

Rodzaje wcierek a zasada spłukiwania

Wcierki wodne (najpopularniejsze) - NIE spłukujemy

To lekkie produkty: toniki, esencje, boostery.
Szybko się wchłaniają, nie obciążają włosów.
To właśnie one budują najwięcej baby hair.

Wcierki na bazie hydrolatów - NIE spłukujemy

Delikatne, często ziołowe. Idealne do codziennego stosowania.

Wcierki olejowe - zwykle spłukujemy

Stosuje się je przed myciem, aby nakarmić cebulki olejami, ale…
to nie są klasyczne wcierki trychologiczne.

Wcierki z alkoholem - zależy od instrukcji

Niektóre wcierki alkoholowe są przeznaczone do stosowania przed myciem. Inne, po.
Trzeba czytać etykietę.

Jak stosować wcierkę, żeby działała? (instrukcja krok po kroku)

Umyj włosy i skórę głowy

Czysta skóra = lepsze wchłanianie.

Osusz włosy ręcznikiem

Wcierkę nakładamy na skórę suchą lub lekko wilgotną.

Podziel włosy na przedziałki

Najlepiej 4–6 przedziałków.

Aplikuj wcierkę bezpośrednio na skórę głowy

Kroplomierz, atomizer lub pipeta - nie na długości, tylko NA SKÓRĘ.

Wmasuj delikatnie

Ruchy okrężne, 30–60 sekund.
To aktywuje mikrokrążenie.

NIE spłukuj

To najważniejsze.
Wcierka ma działać przez wiele godzin, nawet w nocy.

Najczęstsze błędy, przez które wcierki nie działają

Spłukiwanie po kilku minutach

  • Nakładanie na włosy, zamiast na skórę
  • Zbyt duża ilość (obciążenie)
  • Stosowanie raz na tydzień
  • Łączenie wcierki z ciężkimi olejami na skórze głowy
  • Używanie wcierki na brudną skórę
  • Zbyt krótkie kuracje (musi być minimum 6 tygodni)

Jak dobrać wcierkę do rodzaju skóry głowy?

Skóra tłusta

Wybieraj lekkie formulacje wodne z niacynamidem, ekstraktami roślinnymi, kofeiną.

Skóra wrażliwa

Unikaj alkoholu i intensywnych olejków eterycznych.
Postaw na humektanty, liczi, aloes, pantenol.

Skóra sucha

Delikatne toniki + raz w tygodniu olejek stymulujący (przed myciem).

Skóra z wypadaniem

Regularne, codzienne wcierki, najlepiej trychologiczne.

Jak często stosować wcierki?

  • codziennie - wcierki wodne, lekkie
  • 3–4 razy w tygodniu - wcierki stymulujące
  • 1–2 razy w tygodniu - wcierki olejowe (pre-wash)

Kuracja powinna trwać minimum 6 tygodni, a najlepiej 12 tygodni.

Wcierki Orientana - skuteczne i lekkie

Orientana ma dwie wcierki, które świetnie wpisują się w trendy pielęgnacji skóry głowy:

Trychologiczna wcierka do włosów Liczi

(NIE spłukujemy)
Lekka, wodna, nieobciążająca.
Zwiększa porost, ogranicza wypadanie, reguluje sebum.

Ajurwedyjski tonik-wcierka Amla

(NIE spłukujemy)
Esencja ziołowa inspirowana Ajurwedą.
Pobudza cebulki, wzmacnia i poprawia ukrwienie skóry.

Czy wcierka może obciążać włosy?

Tak, ale tylko w trzech przypadkach:

  • używasz za dużo
  • wcierka jest olejowa
  • nakładasz ją na włosy, zamiast na skórę

Lekkie toniki trychologiczne takich problemów nie powodują.

Kiedy zobaczysz pierwsze efekty?

niesienie u nasady - po zastosowaniu wcierki

baby hair - 3–6 tygodni

mniej wypadania - zwykle 4–8 tygodni

widoczne zagęszczenie - 8–12 tygodni

Regularność = efekt.

Zależy od składu. Delikatne toniki są zwykle OK.

9. Czy wcierka działa na zakola?

Tak, to jedne z miejsc, gdzie działa najlepiej.

Tak, ale delikatne i bez alkoholu.

12. Jak długo trzymać wcierkę na skórze?

Przez cały czas – działa aż do kolejnego mycia.

13. Czy wcierka nadaje się do włosów farbowanych?

Tak. Nie wpływa na kolor.

14. Czy wcierka pachnie intensywnie?

Zależy od składu. Ajurwedyjskie – mocniej, trychologiczne – delikatnie.

15. Czy wcierka może przyspieszyć przetłuszczanie włosów?

Tylko olejowa. Lekkie wcierki regulują sebum.

Podsumowanie

Wcierki do włosów to jeden z najskuteczniejszych sposobów na wzmocnienie cebulek, ograniczenie wypadania i pobudzenie porostu. Ale działają tylko wtedy, kiedy stosuje się je poprawnie.
A poprawnie znaczy:

NIE spłukujemy.
Stosujemy regularnie.
Nakładamy na skórę, nie na włosy.

Jeśli  chcesz zacząć skuteczną kurację wypróbuj kosmetyki Orientana.

Oiling your hair - The Indian secret to beautiful and healthy hair

Oiling hair is one of the oldest hair care rituals in India, used for thousands of years. It comes from Ayurveda – ancient Indian medicine, according to which healthy hair is a reflection of the overall condition of the body. Oiling is not only a way to beautiful, shiny hair, but also to relax, improve well-being and maintain harmony of body and mind. In India, this practice is passed down from generation to generation – mothers teach their daughters how to care for their hair from an early age. Some historical sources indicate that the tradition of oiling hair dates back as far as 5,000 years . Ancient Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita mention the use of vegetable oils to strengthen hair and improve its condition. Women of higher castes used precious oils such as sandalwood or jasmine oil to not only condition their hair but also to give it a beautiful scent. It was believed that the right oils could attract positive energy and increase life force. Hair Oiling in India - History and Importance Oiling hair has always been considered more than just a cosmetic treatment – ​​it has been treated as a care ritual that helps maintain hair health, but also emotional and spiritual balance . In India, it is believed that a head massage with oil calms the mind, reduces stress and helps with better sleep . In the past, young girls were required to oil their hair at least three times a week , and on holidays, older women helped them with this ritual. It was a time of building family bonds – older generations passed on knowledge about hair care and choosing the right oils to younger ones. Hair oiling usually took place in the evening, by candlelight and aromatic incense, which created an extremely relaxing atmosphere. Interestingly, you can still meet women with incredibly long, shiny hair who oil it regularly from childhood. In some regions of India, it is still believed that a woman with beautiful, healthy hair is a symbol of prosperity and happiness in the family. Benefits of oiling your hair Oiling your hair brings many benefits to both your scalp and your hair. First of all, it deeply moisturizes and nourishes your scalp, which prevents it from drying out and problems like dandruff or itching. Regular use of oils strengthens hair follicles, which reduces hair loss and accelerates growth. It is worth mentioning that some oils, such as amla oil, are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which prevent premature graying and loss of color. Oiling creates a protective layer on the hair that protects it from harmful external factors, such as strong UV radiation, pollution or frequent styling . Women in India who use oiling throughout their lives often have thick, healthy hair even in old age. It is not without reason that it is said that the secret of their thick hair lies in the regular use of natural oils. To this day, when Indian women leave home with their children and the sun is beating down, they smooth their children's hair with coconut oil for protection. Additionally, massaging the scalp with oil improves blood circulation , which affects better oxygenation of the hair follicles and stimulates hair growth. In India, there is even a special head massage technique called "Champi" , which involves vigorously rubbing oil into the scalp. It is from this word that the English term "shampoo" comes from, meaning shampoo! What oils to use for oiling hair? Here is a detailed description of the effects of individual oils on hair, based on scientific research: Coconut oil ( Cocos Nucifera Oil ) Studies have shown that coconut oil has an exceptional ability to penetrate hair, which is due to its low molecular weight structure and high lauric acid content. According to research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science , coconut oil reduces protein loss in both healthy and damaged hair, protecting it from breakage and mechanical damage. Sesame oil ( Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil ) Rich in antioxidants, especially sesamin and vitamin E, sesame oil has been shown to protect against UV radiation. Studies conducted by the International Journal of Trichology confirm its ability to absorb ultraviolet radiation, making it an effective natural sunscreen for hair. Cardamom seed oil ( Elettaria Cardamomum Seed Oil ) Research published in Phytotherapy Research indicates that cardamom oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can prevent scalp infections and eliminate dandruff. In addition, its stimulating effect improves microcirculation in the scalp, which promotes hair growth. Wheat Germ Oil ( Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil ) Known for its richness in vitamin E and fatty acids, wheat germ oil effectively regenerates hair structure. Studies published in the Journal of Dermatological Science confirm that this oil increases hair moisture and elasticity, reducing brittleness and dryness. Lemon peel oil ( Citrus Medica Vulgaris Peel Oil ) This oil has a sebum-regulating effect, making it an effective ingredient in the care of oily hair. Studies in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science have shown that lemon oil has antiseptic properties, which helps treat inflammation of the scalp and eliminate dandruff. Camphor oil ( Cinnamomum Camphora Bark Oil ) Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine studies have confirmed that camphor oil improves blood circulation in the scalp, which translates into better oxygenation of hair follicles and stimulation of their growth. It also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Jatamansi oil ( Nardostachys Jatamansi Oil ) Jatamansi has long been used in Ayurveda as an anti-hair loss remedy. Research published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology has shown that the oil stimulates the anagen (growth) phase of hair, leading to increased hair density and strength. Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil Due to its high flavonoid content and antiseptic properties, this oil is effective in treating scalp infections. Research conducted by the Indian Journal of Dermatology indicates that pongamia extracts can reduce skin inflammation and reduce excessive hair loss caused by bacterial infections. Calamus Root Oil ( Acorus Calamus Root Oil ) Studies in the Journal of Essential Oil Research have shown that calamus oil has strong antioxidant properties, which protect hair from oxidative stress and free radicals. Additionally, it supports the regeneration of the scalp and has anti-dandruff effects. In summary, each of these oils has been scientifically proven to support hair health, from strengthening and moisturizing to protecting against environmental damage. Regular use can significantly improve the condition of your hair and scalp. How to properly oil your hair? Proper hair oiling requires several steps that increase the effectiveness of this ritual. First of all, you need to choose the right oil for your hair type. Coconut oil will work well for low porosity hair, while oils such as amla or bhringraj will be ideal for high porosity hair. The best effect is achieved when we slightly warm the oil so that it penetrates the scalp better. Then we massage it in circular motions for a few minutes, and then spread it over the entire length of the hair. In India, women often leave the oil overnight so that the hair can take full advantage of its properties. After oiling, we wash the hair with a gentle shampoo (sometimes it is necessary to wash it twice). Regularity is key – it’s best to oil your hair once or twice a week . This will make it stronger, shinier and healthier. Oiling hair is an ancient ritual that is still the basis of care in India. It is not only a way to have healthy and beautiful hair, but also to relax and unwind. No wonder that India has been famous for women with incredibly shiny and long hair for centuries. If you dream of strong, healthy and damage-resistant hair - it is worth including oiling in your care routine! 🌿✨ Other methods of oiling hair Oiling hair can be done using several different methods. One of the most popular techniques is dry hair oiling. Simply spread a little oil on dry hair and rub it in your hands beforehand. It is easier to spread small amounts of oil on your hair and then rub the oil into the hair strands so that the oiling is thorough. This is also the fastest method of oiling hair, but you must remember that the residue of the oil is very difficult to remove from your hair. The second method of oiling hair involves oiling hair with a mist. To do this, simply mix oil with water and add aloe or glycerin to the mixture. This method is good because you can much more easily control the amount of oil distributed on the hair. This method is quite time-consuming and less durable than traditional dry oiling. The third method of oiling is wet hair oiling. Simply apply oil to washed hair, then drain excess oil with a T-shirt or paper towel. There is also a two-step method of hair oiling, which is more labor-intensive. This technique involves using one of the above methods, then washing the hair with conditioner, washing the oil and conditioner from the hair, and finally washing the hair with a very gentle shampoo (especially the hair at the roots). What cosmetics should you choose for oiling your hair? Proper preparation for hair oiling will be facilitated by carefully selected natural cosmetics. If your hair has been weakened and often falls out, then oiling will help you take care of better hair condition. It is also worth using the power of carefully selected plant extracts, herbs and oils in daily care. Avoid synthetic ingredients for hair oiling. For example, Moroccanoil Treatment contains argan oil combined with silicones. Beaver Professional offers hair oils, such as the 24K variant with added argan oil, which contain synthetic ingredients that support hair care and styling. Hipertin : Their product Mineral Oil (Diamond Extract) - Hipertin 100ml contains mineral oil, which moisturizes and intensively shines the hair. Initialiste Kerastase Serum contains mineral oil. No to mineral oil Mineral oil is the name given to a variety of liquid mixtures created as a byproduct of crude oil distillation. It is a highly purified substance used in cosmetics. Unlike crude oil, mineral oil undergoes refining processes that remove any impurities and potentially harmful ingredients. The process of obtaining it includes: Distillation of crude oil , in which various fractions are separated, including gasoline, kerosene, and heavier oils. Refining and purification that eliminate sulfur compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Filtration and stabilization , which ensure that the oil meets quality standards (especially in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries). Does mineral oil have a nourishing effect on hair? Mineral oil does not nourish hair. Unlike the natural oils mentioned above, it does not contain vitamins, fatty acids or antioxidants that could actually affect the condition of hair. Its main function is to create an occlusive layer that covers the hair with a thin layer, making it appear smoother. Mineral oil can also give hair shine, but it will not improve its structure. It can protect hair from external factors - for example, mechanical damage to the hair resulting from friction. However, it does not penetrate deep into the hair like natural oils, which means that it does not provide it with nutrients, but only acts on the surface. It is worth knowing that mineral oil is a synthetic emollient that does not nourish the hair, but creates a protective and smoothing layer. Its origin from petroleum makes it a less ecological choice compared to natural vegetable oils. The best cosmetics for oiling hair Gotu Kola Ayurvedic Hair Therapy This is a natural oil created for the care of weakened and falling hair.

Kurkuma - na co pomaga? Właściwości zdrowotne i kosmetyczne złota Ajurwedy

Kurkuma - na co pomaga? Właściwości zdrowotne i kosmetyczne złota Ajurwedy

Kurkuma na co pomaga? To pytanie pojawia się coraz częściej – zarówno w kontekście zdrowia, jak i pielęgnacji skóry. Kurkuma (Curcuma longa), nazywana złotem Ajurwedy, od tysięcy lat wykorzystywana jest w medycynie naturalnej Indii i Azji Południowej. Dziś jej właściwości potwierdzają także współczesne badania naukowe, a sama kurkuma znajduje zastosowanie nie tylko w kuchni, ale również w nowoczesnych kosmetykach pielęgnacyjnych. W tym artykule wyjaśniamy na co pomaga kurkuma, jak działa na organizm, skórę i mikrobiom oraz dlaczego stała się jednym z najważniejszych składników w kosmetykach Orientana. Kurkuma - co to jest i dlaczego jest tak cenna? Kurkuma to korzeń rośliny z rodziny imbirowatych. Jej intensywnie żółty kolor pochodzi od kurkuminoidów, z których najważniejsza jest kurkumina - związek o silnym działaniu biologicznym. W Ajurwedzie kurkuma uznawana jest za roślinę: równoważącą organizm, wspierającą trawienie, oczyszczającą krew i skórę, wzmacniającą odporność. To właśnie holistyczne podejście sprawia, że kurkuma działa jednocześnie od wewnątrz i od zewnątrz. Kurkuma na co pomaga? Właściwości zdrowotne Kurkuma a działanie przeciwzapalne Jednym z najlepiej udokumentowanych efektów kurkumy jest jej działanie przeciwzapalne. Kurkumina wpływa na szlaki zapalne w organizmie, co sprawia, że kurkuma bywa stosowana wspomagająco przy: przewlekłych stanach zapalnych, bólach stawów, dolegliwościach mięśniowych, chorobach o podłożu zapalnym. Dlatego pytanie „kurkuma na co pomaga?” bardzo często pojawia się w kontekście naturalnego wsparcia organizmu. Kurkuma a odporność Kurkuma wykazuje działanie antyoksydacyjne i immunomodulujące, wspierając naturalne mechanizmy obronne organizmu. Regularne spożywanie kurkumy: pomaga neutralizować wolne rodniki, wspiera odpowiedź immunologiczną, może wspomagać organizm w okresach osłabienia. Kurkuma a trawienie i wątroba W tradycyjnej medycynie kurkuma stosowana jest jako przyprawa: wspierająca trawienie tłuszczów, pobudzająca wydzielanie żółci, wspomagająca pracę wątroby. To dlatego tak często pojawia się w daniach kuchni indyjskiej - nie tylko dla smaku, ale także dla równowagi metabolicznej. Kurkuma na co pomaga skórze? Kiedy pytamy „kurkuma na co pomaga”, odpowiedź w kontekście skóry jest równie imponująca. Kurkuma a stany zapalne skóry Kurkuma stosowana zewnętrznie: łagodzi zaczerwienienia, wspiera skórę problematyczną, pomaga przy skórze wrażliwej i reaktywnej, wspomaga pielęgnację skóry z tendencją do niedoskonałości. Dlatego od wieków była składnikiem ajurwedyjskich masek i past do twarzy. Kurkuma a antyoksydacja i starzenie się skóry Dzięki silnym właściwościom antyoksydacyjnym kurkuma: chroni skórę przed stresem oksydacyjnym, wspiera naturalne mechanizmy regeneracyjne, pomaga zachować zdrowy koloryt skóry, wspiera pielęgnację anti-aging. Kurkuma a bariera skórna Nowoczesne kosmetyki z kurkumą nie działają drażniąco - przeciwnie. Odpowiednio dobrane ekstrakty: wspierają mikrobiom skóry, wzmacniają barierę hydrolipidową, poprawiają komfort skóry suchej i wrażliwej. Kurkuma w kosmetykach - Ajurweda w nowoczesnej pielęgnacji W Orientana kurkuma jest składnikiem, który łączy tradycję Ajurwedy z nowoczesną kosmetologią. Nie jest dodatkiem marketingowym – to aktywny składnik funkcjonalny, dobrany do realnych potrzeb skóry. Krem do twarzy Drzewo Sandałowe i Kurkuma Orientana To jeden z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych ajurwedyjskich kosmetyków marki Orientana. Kurkuma w połączeniu z drzewem sandałowym: koi skórę, wspiera redukcję podrażnień, pomaga przy skórze wrażliwej i skłonnej do zaczerwienień, wzmacnia naturalną równowagę skóry. Ten krem jest przykładem, jak kurkuma pomaga skórze nie poprzez agresywne działanie, lecz przez przywracanie harmonii. Kurkuma w kosmetykach Orientana - dlaczego to działa? Orientana wykorzystuje kurkumę: w formie odpowiednio standaryzowanych ekstraktów, w połączeniu z innymi składnikami ajurwedyjskimi, w formulacjach wspierających barierę skóry, a nie ją osłabiających. Dzięki temu kurkuma w kosmetykach nie barwi skóry, nie podrażnia i działa zgodnie z jej fizjologią. Kurkuma w kuchni a kurkuma w kosmetykach - czym się różnią? Choć źródło jest to samo, zastosowanie jest inne: kurkuma jako przyprawa działa głównie od wewnątrz - wspiera trawienie, odporność i równowagę organizmu, kurkuma w kosmetykach działa miejscowo - wspiera skórę, jej barierę, mikrobiom i procesy regeneracyjne. W obu przypadkach kluczowe jest regularne, świadome stosowanie, a nie jednorazowy „trend”. Czy kurkuma jest dla każdego? W pielęgnacji zewnętrznej kurkuma jest dobrze tolerowana, szczególnie w nowoczesnych formułach kosmetycznych. W diecie warto pamiętać, że: jej biodostępność zwiększa się w połączeniu z tłuszczami, często łączy się ją z pieprzem czarnym, jak każdy składnik aktywny, powinna być stosowana z umiarem. Kurkuma - dlaczego wraca do łask? W czasach, gdy coraz więcej osób szuka naturalnych, skutecznych i holistycznych rozwiązań, kurkuma idealnie wpisuje się w potrzeby współczesnej pielęgnacji i stylu życia. To składnik, który: ma długą historię, potwierdzone działanie, i realne zastosowanie zarówno w zdrowiu, jak i kosmetologii.

Skin irritation or allergy?

The use of facial skin care cosmetics can lead to adverse skin reactions, which most often take the form of contact irritation or contact allergy. Although the symptoms of both reactions may be similar, their immunological mechanisms, causes, and clinical consequences differ significantly. Understanding the differences between these conditions is crucial for both consumers and dermatology and cosmetology professionals. Skin irritation and allergy after using cosmetics - differences, mechanisms and epidemiological data Contact Skin Irritation skin irritation mechanism Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is the most common skin reaction caused by cosmetics. Its mechanism is not immunological, but results from direct damage to the epidermal barrier by chemicals contained in the product. The most common irritant ingredients include alcohols, preservatives, fragrances, and acids and bases used in cosmetics. Applying several cosmetics to the skin at the same time or in a short period of time can also lead to irritation, especially if their ingredients interact. The mechanism of this phenomenon may result from several factors, such as the accumulation of irritants, a change in skin pH, destabilization of the cosmetic formulation or chemical reactions between ingredients. Some cosmetic ingredients have the potential to irritate on their own, but their combination can intensify the effect. For example, alcohols (e.g. ethanol, alcohol denat.) used in toners or anti-acne products can increase the skin's permeability to other substances and intensify irritation. AHA/BHA acids (e.g. glycolic, lactic, salicylic acid) used simultaneously in different products can cause excessive exfoliation and weaken the skin's protective barrier. Some ingredients require a specific pH to be effective, and mixing them can lead to adverse reactions. Vitamin C works best at a low pH (<3.5), while niacinamide prefers higher values ​​(~5-7). Combining them can lead to an increase in pH and loss of effectiveness of both substances, as well as temporary skin irritation. Using retinoids after AHA/BHA acids increases the risk of irritation if used concurrently with retinoids, which are strongly irritating on their own. Some ingredients can react with each other to create substances with potentially irritating effects. An example of this is the reaction between benzoyl peroxide and retinoids. Benzoyl peroxide can oxidize retinol, which leads to its inactivation and at the same time increases the risk of irritation. Mineral oils, i.e. petroleum derivatives, create an occlusion, which may increase the penetration of active substances and their potentially irritating effect. Some ingredients, especially in occlusive creams, can cause substances applied earlier to penetrate deeper into the skin than normal, which can lead to irritation or an allergic reaction. Silicones and paraffin in moisturizers can trap irritants on the skin, prolonging their effects. Emollients and acids used together can cause occlusion to increase the exfoliating effects of acids, leading to dryness and irritation. How to avoid irritation resulting from ingredient interactions? Skin irritation caused by interactions of cosmetic ingredients can be minimized by conscious care planning and appropriate use of products. The order of application of cosmetics, avoiding an excessive number of active substances in one routine, gradual introduction of new preparations, as well as protection of the skin from external factors, such as UV radiation, are of key importance. The correct order of applying cosmetics affects their effectiveness and minimizes the risk of irritation. Products should be applied according to their consistency and effect on the skin. Generally, cosmetics with a lower pH are used first, which penetrate deeper layers of the skin more easily and can actively affect its structure. Examples are AHA and BHA acids and vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid, which work best in an acidic environment (pH 3-4). After applying low pH cosmetics, you should wait a few minutes for the ingredients to absorb and work effectively. Then you can move on to moisturizing products that restore skin balance and help rebuild the hydrolipid barrier. Finally, protective cosmetics are used, such as sunscreens, which prevent the degradation of active ingredients and protect the skin from the negative effects of external factors. Combining several powerful active ingredients in one skincare routine can lead to excessive skin burden and irritation. An example of an unfavorable combination is the simultaneous use of retinol and AHA/BHA acids. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, has a regenerative effect and stimulates cell renewal, but it can also cause redness and peeling of the skin. AHA and BHA acids, which exfoliate dead skin cells, additionally increase the risk of irritation if used at the same time as retinol. A similar risk is posed by combining vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid with niacinamide – these ingredients have different pH requirements, which can lead to their destabilization and reduced effectiveness. To avoid irritation, it is best to use these ingredients at different times of the day, e.g. vitamin C in the morning and retinol or acids in the evening. New cosmetics should be introduced into your skincare routine gradually to assess how well your skin tolerates them. You should test each new product for at least a few days, preferably by first applying it to a small area of ​​skin (e.g. behind the ear or on the inside of your wrist). If there are no adverse reactions after 24-48 hours, such as redness, burning or itching, you can gradually add the product to your daily skincare routine. Special care should be taken with cosmetics containing strong active ingredients, such as retinoids, exfoliating acids or benzoyl peroxide. It is best to introduce them at intervals of a few days, so that the skin has time to adapt. Otherwise, it may cause irritation, dryness of the skin or weaken its natural protective barrier. Sun protection is a key part of your skincare routine, especially when using ingredients that can make your skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Retinoids, AHA/BHA acids, and vitamin C can make your skin more susceptible to sun damage, leading to the risk of discoloration, photoaging, and irritation. Let us remember that conscious skin care, including the correct order of applying cosmetics, avoiding unfavourable combinations of active ingredients, gradual introduction of new products and regular use of sun protection, helps minimise the risk of irritation and increases the effectiveness of cosmetics. symptoms of skin irritation Symptoms of ICD include redness, burning, tightness, and in more severe cases, swelling, peeling, and vesicles. Unlike an allergy, the reaction occurs immediately or within hours of contact with the irritant and is usually limited to the site of application. Chronic irritation can lead to thickening of the epidermis and increased dryness of the skin (Johansen et al., 2022). Contact allergy - mechanism and symptoms Contact allergy ( ACD ) is a type IV (delayed) hypersensitivity reaction that is T-cell dependent. It occurs after previous sensitization to a given substance – initial contact with the allergen leads to its presentation by Langerhans cells and activation of the immune system. Subsequent exposure to the allergen results in an inflammatory reaction in the skin, the symptoms of which usually appear after 24–72 hours of contact (Peiser et al., 2012). The most common allergens in cosmetics are fragrances (e.g. linalool, geraniol), preservatives (e.g. methylisothiazolinone, parabens) and dyes and excipients (Heisterberg et al., 2011). Symptoms of skin allergy include erythema, swelling, itching, and in more severe cases – blisters and exudates. Unlike contact irritation, the reaction can also occur outside the place of application of the cosmetic. Epidemiology and Statistics of Adverse Skin Reactions According to epidemiological studies, contact irritation accounts for the vast majority of adverse reactions to cosmetics. It is estimated that ICD accounts for about 80% of contact dermatitis cases , while ACD accounts for about 20% (Diepgen et al., 2016). Data from the European Network on Contact Allergy (ESSCA) indicate that allergy to cosmetic ingredients affects 1 to 4% of the population , depending on the region and study methodology (Uter et al., 2020). People with atopic predisposition and people who frequently use products containing highly allergenic substances, such as hairdressers, beauticians and chemical industry workers, are particularly at risk. In studies conducted in the United States, preservatives and fragrances were the most common cause of allergic reactions – formaldehyde allergy was detected in 8–9% of patients tested for cosmetic allergens, while methylisothiazolinone was responsible for approximately 6% of cases (Warshaw et al., 2017). What else can cause redness and burning of the skin after using a cosmetic? One of the reasons may be providing too large a dose of active ingredients to which our skin is not accustomed, because so far we have only used ordinary drugstore creams, the effects of which are much weaker than the effects of natural cosmetics full of natural plant extracts. Such skin is not accustomed to such a strong dose of active ingredients and may react with redness and irritation. Sometimes the solution is to mix the cream with the active ingredient with another simple cosmetic, e.g. hyaluronic acid or shea butter. Both irritation and contact allergy after cosmetics are significant dermatological problems. Irritation is a direct reaction resulting from damage to the epidermal barrier, while allergy is an immunological mechanism that requires prior sensitization. Due to the high incidence of skin reactions to cosmetics, it is crucial to consciously choose products with a mild composition and to use patch tests to identify allergenic substances.

Natural cosmetics contain a very high concentration of active ingredients (significantly higher than in drugstore products) to have an intensive, strong effect. Unfortunately, there is no rule and some people may react more strongly to such a change and feel greater discomfort, while for some the skin will definitely switch to a solid dose of good ingredients more quickly. Also, when the skin is in worse condition, it can also react with stronger irritation. Both irritation and allergic reactions are individual issues. Each skin is different, reacts differently and can also react with irritation when we combine different cosmetics with different natural ingredients. Not every natural ingredient will like and react correctly with another natural ingredient from another cosmetic. With capricious, sensitive skin, you have to test a lot to find the right product for yourself. IRRITATION HAS OCCURRED - WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? Should you absolutely stop using the cream or use it anyway? The most important thing is to carefully observe your skin when using it for the first time. If after applying the cream you feel a slight burning sensation, tingling or redness appears on the skin, which disappears within 40 minutes, it does not necessarily mean an allergy. Some active ingredients have a very strong effect and cause intentional, temporary hyperemia of the skin, which indicates that the active substances have started to work. We should stop using the cream when the redness does not disappear, we feel a prolonged burning sensation and additionally a rash appears. It is also worth adding, which few of us know, that in most cases we are dealing with ordinary contact irritation. What does that mean? Redness and burning appear only in the application sites. When we are dealing with an allergy, the skin reaction can be much more extensive and also appear in other places than the application sites. Let's also remember to use the products according to their intended use! For example, a face cream contains a higher concentration of active ingredients than a cream from the same series dedicated to the eyes, because the skin under the eyes is much thinner and more delicate than the skin of the face and needs different, more delicate care. Using a face cream under the eyes can cause burning, redness, and even other more serious irritation! LET'S GIVE NATURAL COSMETICS A CHANCE! If we already know that we are not dealing with an allergy, it is worth giving the cream a chance and using it for a while. This slight redness at the beginning of use shows that the cream is working. The problem is that the skin was not ready and accustomed to such a large dose of active ingredients - before using the cosmetic, it could have been excessively dry, irritated or damaged. Therefore, let's give natural cosmetics a chance to develop their capabilities and slowly switch it to the action of strong active ingredients, and consequently improve its condition and support its natural metabolism. ALLERGIC TO ANY INGREDIENTS In addition, we must remember that natural cosmetics are made from natural ingredients, such as honey, propolis, rose oil, which can cause allergies in people who are allergic to these ingredients. It is worth knowing that not only chemical substances can cause allergies, but also natural ones! Even those that have a soothing and calming effect will not show such properties in people who are allergic to this substance, and can irritate our skin. So find out what your body is allergic to! Don't rule out natural products!
