Health damage when using wet wipes
Many of you are used to using wet wipes anytime, anywhere... but did you know that using wet wipes carelessly can be harmful to your health?
Wet wipes have become a convenient item for personal hygiene. However, we sometimes rely too much on the convenience of wet wipes and use them indiscriminately, causing harm to our health.
Use wet wipes to remove makeup
Wet wipes with makeup remover solution are a "savior" for girls when they are "lazy": no need for makeup remover, cleanser or cotton pads, just wipe with wet wipes and your face will be "clean".
However, using wet tissues without rinsing with cleanser and clean water cannot completely remove dirt and cosmetics deep in the pores. Over time, this will clog pores and cause acne.

Many chemicals used in wet wipes can also cause skin irritation. When this happens, the skin shows signs of discomfort such as dryness, itching, and many pimples, etc.
One of the substances commonly used in tissues is alcohol, which has an effective and quick cleaning effect, but prolonged exposure will make the skin dry, weak and thin, making it vulnerable to damage and sunburn.
Use wet wipes to clean private areas
The skin in the genital area is especially fragile and sensitive, easily irritated by ingredients in wet wipes including preservatives, fragrances, strong detergents, etc.
Specifically, wet wipes contain too many preservatives that can be toxic to the liver, affect the reproductive system, and potentially cause endocrine disorders...
Poor quality fragrances are very likely to cause allergies, irritate the skin area, causing redness, itching, and inflammation.
If the tissue box is not completely closed, opening and closing will cause bacteria to "reside" on the surface of the tissue. When the tissue comes into contact with the humid environment of the private area, bacteria will have more opportunities to grow, causing fungus and gynecological diseases.
More dangerously, bacteria can pass through the private area to attack the internal reproductive organs of the body, causing serious diseases such as endometritis and oophoritis.
Use wet wipes to clean the wound
Open wounds are the "gateway" for chemicals, dirt and bacteria from the outside to enter the body. Therefore, when you have an open wound, it is best not to use wet wipes that contain too many chemicals, as this will make the wound more painful and take longer to heal.
Instead, you should quickly wash the wound with clean water, use a bandage or gauze to cover it, and avoid exposing the wound to air, which can cause more serious infection.
Depending on the situation, use wet wipes, and choose products with little fragrance and no alcohol-based ingredients!
