Glycolic acid and endogenous hair

Glycolic acid have attracted much attention in the field of skin care. The disease of endogenous hair is common to everyone. Hair does not penetrate the skin normally, but grows inside the skin, causing redness, swelling and pain. And glycolic acid may be beneficial for this disease.

Glycolic acid belongs to the group of fruit acids and has excellent exfoliation effect. It can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, causing the accumulated stratum corneum to gradually fall off. In the case of endogenous hair, excessive thickness of the stratum corneum is often one of the triggers. Thick keratin prevents the hair from penetrating the skin smoothly, causing it to become endogenous. Glycolic acid can make the stratum corneum thinner, the texture is looser, and the hair is easier to break through the obstacles, grow normally, and reduce the chance of endogenous hair.

And glycolic acid can promote skin metabolism. It stimulates skin cell renewal and accelerates the migration of new cells from the basal layer to the surface. In this way, the overall state of the skin is improved and its vitality is enhanced. For the areas where endogenous hair has been born, the acceleration of metabolism helps to repair damaged skin tissue and relieve discomfort such as redness, swelling and pain. New cells replace damaged cells, the skin resumes normal physiological functions, and the adverse symptoms caused by endogenous hair gradually reduce.

Furthermore, glycolic acid may regulate skin oil secretion. Imbalance of oil secretion is also related to endogenous hair. Moderately adjust the oil to keep the hair follicle mouth unobstructed, optimize the hair growth environment, and indirectly prevent the formation of endogenous hair.

However, when applying glycolic acid, caution is also required. Because it is irritating to a certain extent, a skin test should be performed before use. Initial use, the concentration should be low, and then gradually adjusted according to the skin tolerance. And during use, sun protection is required to prevent the skin from being more sensitive to ultraviolet rays and damaged.

In summary, glycolic acid may have a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of endogenous hair, but reasonable and appropriate use is the key to benefit the skin and avoid the disturbance of endogenous hair.
