After the skin is covered by glycolic acid, the stratum corneum becomes thinner and its resistance to ultraviolet rays in the sun gradually weakens. If you are walking under the hot sun and are exposed to direct ultraviolet rays, the skin seems to lose its strong barrier and is vulnerable to it. In light cases, the skin is red and hot, as if it is lightly burned by fire; in severe cases, it may cause sunburn, tanning, and even worse, long-term accumulation, which may increase the risk of skin diseases, such as deepening pigmentation and premature aging of the skin.
