True or False? You should avoid products containing alcohol, because it dries skin.

False.Certain forms of alcohol such as isopropyl, ethyl & SD alcohols are volatile and should be avoided if you have dry or sensitive skin. Oily and combination skin types, however, may benefit from small amounts of volatile alcohol to disperse excess oil on the skin's surface. Other forms of alcohol, such as cetyl, are actually moisturizing. Always consult your skin care practitioner to determine which skin care products are best for your skin.
