On the method of dilution of fruit acid
Fruit acid is strong and widely used, and it is beneficial for nourishing the skin. However, its concentration is quite high, and it is used improperly, or it may cause skin damage. Therefore, I often wonder whether it can be diluted to suit the needs of different skin.

Among fruit acids, glycolic acid is common. It has the power of exfoliating and rejuvenating the skin. However, high concentrations of glycolic acid, such as strong medicine, are used directly, and those with delicate skin may find it difficult to withstand its force, causing redness, swelling, pain, etc.

To dilute glycolic acid, the first dose used. For water, a common dilution is also. However, when using purified water or distilled water, because it has few impurities, it will not chemically react with glycolic acid and cause confusion. Take an appropriate amount of water, slowly inject it into the glycolic acid, and stir it to ensure that the two are evenly mixed. When stirring, gently, do not splash the solution.

In addition to water, it can also be diluted with a special skin care base solution. This base solution contains many moisturizing and soothing ingredients. When combined with glycolic acid, it can not only reduce its concentration, but also supplement its curing ability. When diluted with the base solution, when mixed in a certain proportion, it depends on the tolerance of the skin. For those with strong skin tolerance, the ratio of glycolic acid can be slightly increased; for those who are weak, it should be adjusted with the base liquid.

Furthermore, when diluting, it must be measured carefully. Precision instruments such as measuring cups and droppers can be used. Accurate measurement ensures that the concentration of glycolic acid after dilution is appropriate. If the concentration is too high, there is still a risk of hurting the skin; if it is too low, the effect will be difficult to show.

Also, the diluted glycolic acid should be properly stored. It should be placed in a cool, dry and dark place to prevent its deterioration. Before use, check its color, taste and state. If there is any difference, do not use it.

In short, diluting glycolic acid is related to the safety and efficacy of the skin. It must be done with scientific methods and prudence in order to make it in the way of skin care and do its best to avoid its harm.
