it doesnt, it is actually a lubricant!
No. Alcohol will cause dry skin.
Alcohol can dissolve and break down skin oils that retain moisture by preventing evaporation. Although it's important to remember that this only applies to ethanol alcohol. Cetyl alcohol, the kind you find in moisturizer, will not dry out your skin.
No. It is a "fatty alcohol" used in hand lotions and stuff like that. It's called an alcohol because it's an organic compound with a hydroxyl group (an OH) on the end of it.
Sanitizers with alcohol as an ingredient will cause your hands to dry out more. All hand cleaning products such as sanitizers and soaps will cause more dry skin conditions if used frequently. While alcohol free hand sanitizer will cause less irritation of dry skin than those with alcohol, it will be beneficial to you to use lotion after using those products.
There is no such chemical.
Alcohol and oils. Some water will eventually be absorbed but not immediately.
It probably will, because it also dries out your skin. If you have problem with dry nails or cuticles, use a hand cream regularly.
If you skin is sensitive enough you can get a chemical burn. Otherwise, it will remove the oils your skin produces which will make it dry.
rubbing alcohol. it might dry out your skin a little...but it has always worked for me.
There are a lot of foundation number 7's out there. Remember products with alcohol dry the skin and oil clogs up pores.
I wouldn't recommend it. It tends to seriously dry out you skin, and if you have any breaks in your skin, it burns like blazes. Keep it away from any natural orifices or, you're likely to have some very painful problems.
It can give you dry skin, that's what it did to me.
