What is sd alcohol 40 b and is it healthy for skin?

SD alcohol-40 usually refers to isopropyl alcohol, which is present in many acne-control products as a vehicle or base. Its drying effects are thought to reduce the oilyness contributing to acne. Actually, acne is more related to hormone production and less to oil or foods (think chocolate) , so the alcohol may act to disinfect the skin. Used repeatedly, its cumulative drying effect may actually leave the skin more susceptible to bacterial invasion. Products like this (as Stridex) are generally considered outdated, in preference of benzoyl peroxide products which act like hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria on the skin.

This can be done using a drying oven to remove moisture from the sample and then calculating the weight difference before and after drying to determine the percent solids.

Why might a person who breaths through his or her mouth at night tend to have a sore throat in the morning?

The nose warms and moisturizes the air you breath in. It could be that the cool dry air coming directly from the mouth is drying the throat and irritating it. Alternately, it could be that the reason for the mouth breathing is that the nasal passages are stuffy and mucus from them is dripping into the throat at night when you lie back (post nasal drip). This can be irritating.


What factors can be controlled by the person to avoid having acne?

Adolescence acne may be caused when changes in hormone levels stimulate sebum production within the body. Sebum is an oily substance that keeps the skin and hair from drying out. It comes from the sebaceous glands, which are found all over the body but are most numerous on the face and scalp. Acne cannot be prevented by a controlled diet and is not a sign of uncleanliness, but good hygiene should be practiced to prevent more serious infections. Antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, or vitamin A derivatives may be used on the advice of a doctor to treat severe acne.
