Odokotela Besikhumba: Ingabe Kufanele Ugweme Utshwala Esikhumbeni?

Uma unomile noma isikhumba esithambile, maningi amathuba okuthi utshelwe ukuthi uqhelelane nemikhiqizo equkethe utshwala. Futhi hhayi like utshwala obuphuzayo (nakuba kungase kube kubi nasesikhunjeni sakho), kodwa utshwala, obungezwa emikhiqizweni yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba futhi buvame ukusetshenziswa njengesixazululi noma ukuthuthukisa ukuthungwa kwefomula. Lolu hlobo lotshwala lungaba ome futhi ucasule isikhumbakodwa ngokusho kwabanye ochwepheshe bethu be-Skincare.com, akusona i-villain yesikhumba ongase uyicabange. Qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole ukuthi utshwala bungathinta kanjani isikhumba nokuthi kungani abanye, ngokusho kochwepheshe, befuna ukubugwema. 

Kungani utshwala busetshenziswa ekunakekeleni isikhumba?

Kunezigaba ezimbili zotshwala obuvame ukusetshenziswa ekunakekelweni kwesikhumba: utshwala obunesisindo esiphansi se-molecular (njenge-ethanol kanye notshwala obuyi-denatured) kanye ne-high molecular weight alcohol (njenge- i-glycerin kanye ne-cetyl alcohol). Ngamunye ufeza inhloso ehlukile futhi ungaba nemiphumela ehlukene esikhumbeni. 

“Ama-alcohol anesisindo esiphansi yizincibilikisi ezisiza izinto ezingancibiliki emanzini,” kusho UDkt. Ranella Hirsch, udokotela wesikhumba onesitifiketi sebhodi ozinze e-Boston. Lezi zidakamizwa nazo zingama-antimicrobial agents.

Ama-alcohol anesisindo samangqamuzana aphezulu, aziwa nangokuthi ama-alcohol anamafutha, ayenzeka ngokwemvelo. UDkt. Hirsch uthi: “Zingasetshenziswa njengezithako noma njengezithako. Utshwala bungasiza ukushelela isikhumba futhi bunikeze umkhiqizo wakho ukuthungwa kwamanzi okuncane. 

Yimiphi imiphumela emibi engaba khona yotshwala emikhiqizweni yokunakekela isikhumba? 

I-Ethanol, utshwala obuyi-denatured, nezinye izinto ezinesisindo esiphansi zingama futhi zicasule isikhumba. Uma kuqhathaniswa, utshwala obunamafutha bungaba nomphumela ophambene. Ngenxa yezakhiwo zayo ze-emollient, U-Krupa Caestline, usokhemisi wezimonyo nomsunguli KKT Consultants, Kusho lokho zingaba usizo esikhumbeni esomile. Kodwa-ke, lapho kugxilwe kakhulu, "kungabangela ukuqubuka nokushaywa," kusho uDkt. Hirsch. 

Ubani Okufanele Agweme Utshwala Ekunakekelweni Kwesikhumba?

UDkt. Hirsch uthi ngempela yehlela kwifomula, i.e. ukugcwala kotshwala obusetshenzisiwe nokuthi yiziphi ezinye izithako ezifakiwe. “Ungaba nesithako esicasulayo, kodwa ukusifaka efomini eliphelele kungenza singacasuli,” kuchaza yena. Uma ungabaza, thintana nodokotela wesikhumba noma uhlole umkhiqizo ngaphambi kokuwusebenzisa ebusweni noma emzimbeni wonke.
