Microorganisms on the surface of the skin
Introduction
The use of perfumes or fragrances is very common in society, since it is a product frequently used by humans to transpire pleasant fragrances for themselves and the people around them, because it is applied directly to the skin surfaceEspecially in the areas of the neck, face, dolls and the back of the ears, it is possible that due to the chemical compounds with which these are made which are mostly based on alcohols, they can act as microbicidal agents oftopical application that can control large number of microorganisms.
Developing
These can stay in the body parts, especially in the back of the auditory pavilion, where due to the skin folds that form between the ear and the neck dueThe common people without anticipating it, when applying perfume in these areas the alcohol that these perfumes contain could destroy or inhibit the growth of microbial flora in this area of the body. Likewise, this can happen in the area of the face later to the shave, where small cuts in the skin could cause irritation and subsequent generation of infection in these areas, which when applying the perfume could inhibit the formation of microorganisms in the areasAffected.
Serving thus as antiseptic agents without knowing it, in this way by using these fragrances while we are satisfying a personal or vanity taste, we could be helping skin protection. In the development of this work, it will seek to determine experimentally if there is a relationship between the effectiveness of the alcohols present in the perfumes and the elimination of bacterial germs in some parts of the body especially in the back of the ears and the face;In order to determine this, a sample crop of organisms will be executed and the growth of these organisms will be compared under the application of different amounts and varieties of perfumes, giving priority to concentrated perfumes where there is a percentage of ethyl alcohol at 90-95% v /v In each of them.
conclusion
Given in order to determine whether the application of these influences in the inhibition of microorganisms in the areas indicated above really. Ethyl alcohol is done because it has a good antiseptic level, which means a good level of disinfection, “rectified ethyl alcohol (95%) causes great dehydration in microorganisms, so that it prevents its penetration into them. Therefore, the most effective concentrations are those that range between 60 and 80% in distilled water, the most effective preparation being 70%. ”(Vignoli, R.) Due to the aforementioned mind, it is decided to work on concentrated perfumes where there is a higher percentage of this.
