Facial skin is more sensitive after shaving, so use glycolic acid with caution at this time.
During shaving, the blade rubs against the skin, which may cause minor wounds on the skin surface and temporarily weaken the skin's barrier function. Glycolic acid is a kind of fruit acid, which has certain irritation. It can promote the renewal of the stratum corneum and improve the texture of the skin, but it may cause skin tingling, redness and other uncomfortable reactions when used immediately after shaving.
If the skin is not damaged or swollen after shaving, and the individual skin has a good tolerance to glycolic acid, you can try it on a small area of skin after shaving for a period of time, such as 3-4 hours apart, until the skin returns to calm, and observe for 15-20 minutes. If there is no discomfort, then cautiously expand the scope of use. However, if the skin is damaged, redness, pain, etc. after shaving, the use of glycolic acid should be avoided. Consider using it after the skin has fully recovered to avoid aggravating skin damage and causing infections. In short, the use of glycolic acid after shaving depends on the individual skin condition to ensure skin safety.
