Film Forming Agent - #6742
I’ve been researching natural skincare, and the term "film forming agent" keeps coming up. Can anyone explain how it works in Ayurvedic products? I’m particularly interested because I’ve been trying to find something to protect my skin from pollution and harsh weather. From what I understand, a film forming agent creates a barrier on the skin. Does it mean it locks in moisture too? I’ve got super dry skin that’s also sensitive to almost everything. If there are Ayurvedic film forming agents, how are they different from the chemical ones in regular cosmetics? Also, is it true that some herbs act as a natural film forming agent? I’ve seen a few products with terms like "herbal shield," but I don’t know if that’s marketing or an actual benefit. Can these agents be used daily, or do they clog the skin over time? If anyone here knows about specific Ayurvedic products or treatments with a film forming agent, I’d love to know what worked for you. How do you use it—like a lotion, or is it mixed into something else? I’m also curious if it’s effective for preventing wrinkles or just environmental damage.
