Glycolic Acid 7% Toner Use Guide
Glycolic Acid 7% Toner is a skin care product with significant efficacy. If you want to give full play to its advantages, you need to follow the correct use method. The following are detailed use guidelines:

1. Prepare before use
1. ** Skin test **: Before using this toner for the first time, be sure to perform a skin sensitivity test. Apply a small amount of toner to more sensitive areas of the skin, such as behind the ear or inside the wrist, and wait for 24-48 hours. If there is no discomfort such as redness, swelling, itching, and tingling during this period, it can only be used on the face. This move is designed to prevent allergies that may be caused by individual skin differences and ensure safe use.
2. ** Cleansing **: Use gentle cleansing products to thoroughly clean the facial skin and remove dirt, oil and cosmetic residues. Pay attention to avoid excessive cleaning, so as not to damage the natural barrier of the skin. After rinsing off with water, gently dry the facial moisture to prepare for the subsequent use of toner.

2. How to use
1. ** Wiping method **: Take an appropriate amount of glycolic acid 7% toner on a cotton pad and gently wet the cotton pad. Starting from the center of the face, gently wipe the facial skin, including the forehead, cheeks, chin, both sides of the nose and other parts in the order from inside to outside. The wiping process should be gentle to avoid pulling the skin too hard. This method helps to remove aging keratin on the surface of the skin, promote skin metabolism, and evenly replenish moisture and nutrients to the skin.
2. ** Pat method **: Pour an appropriate amount of toner directly into the palm of your hand, gently rub your hands, so that the toner is evenly distributed in the palm. Then gently place your hands on your face, and gently pat your skin with your fingertips in the order of your forehead, cheeks, and chin until the toner is fully absorbed by the skin. When pat with moderate force, you can promote the skin's absorption of the toner, enhance the skin care effect, and stimulate facial blood circulation, making the skin more ruddy and shiny.

3. Frequency of use
1. ** Initial adaptation stage **: For people who are exposed to glycolic acid products for the first time or have more sensitive skin, it is recommended to start with a lower frequency of use. For the first week, you can use glycolic acid 7% toner every 2-3 days to let the skin gradually adapt to the action of glycolic acid. During this period, pay close attention to the skin's reaction, such as slight peeling, redness, etc., which is a normal skin adaptation process, but if the discomfort symptoms are serious, you should stop using it immediately and consult a professional dermatologist for advice.
2. ** Stable use stage **: After the initial adaptation, if the skin does not have adverse reactions, you can gradually increase the frequency of use. Generally, it can be used once a day. It is usually recommended to use it at night, because night is the peak period of skin metabolism. At this time, the use can better exert the effect of glycolic acid and help the skin repair and renew. However, the specific frequency of use needs to be adjusted according to personal skin conditions. For example, oily skin may have better tolerance to glycolic acid, and the number of uses can be appropriately increased; while dry or sensitive skin needs to be carefully adjusted to avoid excessive irritation of the skin.

4. Follow-up care
1. ** Moisturizing **: After using glycolic acid 7% toner, the moisture of the skin may be lost, so it is essential to do a good job of moisturizing in time. You can choose a lotion or cream with a refreshing texture and good moisturizing effect. Apply an appropriate amount evenly to the face and gently massage until fully absorbed. Moisturizing products can form a protective film on the surface of the skin, lock in moisture and prevent dry skin. At the same time, they work synergistically with toner to improve the overall health of the skin.
2. ** Sunscreen **: Since glycolic acid can make the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet rays, after using toner, no matter day or night, take good sun protection measures. When going out during the day, you should apply sunscreen, choose a product with an appropriate sun protection index (above SPF30) and a broad-spectrum sun protection function (both UVA and UVB can protect), wear a sun hat and sunglasses, and try to avoid going out during the period when the ultraviolet rays are strongest (10 am to 4 pm). Even indoors, you should pay attention to the ultraviolet rays passing through the windows, and you can use curtains to block them appropriately. Sunscreen work can not only prevent sunburn and tanning of the skin, but also reduce the chance of skin aging and pigmentation caused by ultraviolet damage, and maintain the good condition of the skin.

Following the above guidelines for the use of glycolic acid 7% toner, the correct use of this product will help improve the texture of the skin, enhance the gloss of the skin, and keep the skin in a healthy and youthful state. However, everyone's skin condition is different. If you have any questions or discomfort during use, you should always consult a professional skincare professional or dermatologist.
