Why Is "Alcohol Free" So Important?

Why Is "Alcohol Free" So Important?

If you've taken a spin around ScentedTowel.com, you've probably noticed that we brag about all of our products being alcohol free.

But why did we bother to create a bunch of fancy alcohol free graphics?  Why is this such a selling point?

-  You get to keep your skin's natural moisture intact

Alcohol strips skin of its own natural moisturizers every time you rub it onto your delicate face -- leaving it feeling tight, dry, and downright uncomfortable.  In fact, alcohol can actually dehydrate your cells so much that they die! 

Making matters worse, stripping away all of that moisture can send your skin into "overdrive", meaning it will start producing more oil to combat the dryness.  Unfortunately, when that happens, your skin can wind up looking greasy and, soon enough, completely broken out!

-  Your skin won't sting

Even if you don't have sensitive skin, alcohol can make it sting like crazy.  In fact, it can even burn your skin -- meaning it won't just hurt, but it will look red and scaly, too!  You want your face to be clean, but you don’t want to assault it.  That means you've got to keep the alcohol far, far away!

-  You won't have to worry about sinking more stuff into your skin

We've already talked about how your skin is like a giant sponge.  However, if you rub alcohol onto it, your skin will become even more absorbent.  That means it's easier for things like makeup and dirt to penetrate your skin -- and wind up floating around inside your body!  Yuck!
