On the relationship between glycolic acid and dark skin
The color of the skin is different in different shades, and its reasons are complicated. The effect of glycolic acid on the skin is gradually becoming more and more important for everyone, especially for dark skin, which cannot be ignored.
Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and has unique properties. Its molecules are tiny and can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin. For dark skin, this trait has far-reaching effects. First, glycolic acid can promote the renewal of the stratum corneum. For dark skin, the stratum corneum may be slightly metabolized, accumulated and thickened for various reasons, resulting in a dull complexion. Glycolic acid can loosen the connections between the keratinocytes, causing the old keratin to fall off in an orderly manner, and the skin will regain its luster and become more uniform in color.
Furthermore, glycolic acid can stimulate collagen production. Collagen is the key to skin support. With the passage of time and the invasion of the environment, collagen in dark skin is gradually lost, the skin is loose, and the color is not what it used to be. The effect of glycolic acid can activate related cells, promote collagen regeneration, and tighten the skin. At the same time, the color is more vivid and shiny.
However, when using glycolic acid on dark skin, caution is also required. Dark skin melanocytes are active, improper use of glycolic acid may cause abnormal melanogenesis and cause pigmentation. Therefore, when initially used, the concentration should be low and need to be gradually increased. At the same time, sun protection is the priority. Glycolic acid makes the skin more sensitive. Under ultraviolet rays, it is easy to cause damage and cause melanin reaction.
In general, glycolic acid has the ability to improve dark skin, and it is well used. Treat it with caution and use it reasonably according to the characteristics of the skin to achieve the effect of skin beauty and make dark skin radiant.
