It’s good to be a “tight” woman, so be careful about applying beauty cream

It’s “tight” to be a woman. But how can you make your breasts firmer, easier, and pain-free? Many people choose to use beauty cream, which is much easier to apply at home than surgical procedures. However, not all beauty creams are as perfect as advertised.

Almost all beauty creams say they do not contain hormones. But according to an authoritative person in the domestic plastic surgery community who did not want to be named, beauty cream will not work if it does not contain hormones. According to this doctor's clinical observation for many years, some patients' breasts become pigmented after using beauty cream, and their areolas and nipples become dark, like the color of pregnant women's breasts. This effect would not have occurred if it were not for the action of hormones. In the instruction manual of beauty creams, there is usually something like this: If individual women experience menstrual disorders and pregnancy-like reactions, they are caused by sensitive constitutions and are normal reactions of the body... Hormones should be responsible for changing women's menstrual cycles. Is this reaction normal?

The Ministry of Health of my country classifies breast-beautifying cosmetics as special-purpose cosmetics, and breast-beautifying cream is the main type of breast-beautifying cosmetics. Beauty creams generally consist of a paste base, nutrients and beauty cream additives. The active ingredient is a breast-beautifying additive, which can stimulate the secretion function of the pituitary gland and gonads, thereby increasing the level of estrogen in the body, promoting breast development, preventing sagging of the breasts, and making them plump and elastic.

At present, there are three main categories of commonly used additives for breast enhancement, biochemical preparations, active plant ingredients and hormones. It is generally believed that estrogen has side effects, while biochemical additives and active plant ingredients are safe for the human body. Most beauty creams sold on the market contain the first two categories of active ingredients. Biochemical additives include placenta extract, royal jelly, collagen, serum, collagen, fruit acid, DNA, seaweed polysaccharide, etc., and the production cost is relatively high; the active ingredients extracted from plants include salvia, safflower, yuanhu, red peony root, and turmeric. etc., the cost is relatively low. Sex hormones with recognized side effects include estrone, estradiol, estriol, diethylstilbestrol, testosterone, methyltestosterone, progesterone, etc. Their use in cosmetics is prohibited according to relevant national regulations. The description in the instructions of the beauty cream that it does not contain hormones means that it does not contain these chemically synthesized prohibited ingredients.

Although the instructions say it does not contain hormone ingredients, many people have systemic reactions after using it, such as ovarian dysfunction, irregular menstruation, pigmentation, etc., which are all caused by abnormal hormone secretion, that is, Commonly referred to as endocrine disorders. An expert on a well-known brand of beauty cream told reporters that this is because although biological agents are not artificially synthesized hormones, they indirectly provide estrogen-like products and can also improve the response level of the breast to estrogen.

Experts suggest that using beauty cream can usually achieve the desired effect in one cycle, and it can be used for up to two consecutive cycles. Be careful when using breast enhancement products and avoid long-term use.
