Can use glycolic acid after shaving
Shaving is a common thing for men to cleanse their faces every day. However, the skin condition after shaving is special, and people often have doubts about whether glycolic acid can be used.
Glycolic acid is a fruit acid, which has the effect of exfoliating and promoting metabolism. It can make the skin smooth and improve skin quality. However, the skin is prone to micro-trauma after shaving. If glycolic acid is used at this time, it is acidic or irritates the wound, causing skin discomfort, such as tingling, redness, itching, or even allergies.
If you want to use glycolic acid after shaving, you need to check the skin condition first. If the skin is not damaged or red and swollen after shaving, you can try a small amount. Take a little glycolic acid product and apply it behind the ear or on the inside of the wrist, and observe for 24 hours. If there is no adverse reaction, it can be used on the face. But the dosage should be small and the frequency should be low, 1-2 times a week at the beginning.
If the skin is damaged, red and swollen after shaving, or if it is sensitive skin, glycolic acid should be avoided at this time. After the skin recovers, you can try it gradually according to your own tolerance.
In short, you need to be cautious when using glycolic acid after shaving. You should choose according to your personal skin condition to ensure skin health.
