On the effect of glycolic acid on rough skin
People want to solve the problem of rough skin. Glycolic acid, in the way of skin care, has attracted much attention.
Glycolic acid, a type of fruit acid, has unique properties. Its molecules are tiny and can travel unimpeded, penetrating deep into the surface of the skin. For rough skin, glycolic acid can loosen the connection between keratinocytes. In normal times, the keratin of rough skin accumulates, causing the surface to be uneven. Glycolic acid can gently peel off thick keratin, restoring a smooth state to the skin.
And glycolic acid can stimulate the metabolism of the skin. Slow metabolism is one of the causes of rough skin. Glycolic acid can stimulate the division of basal cells, accelerate the generation of new cells, and bring out new ones, making the skin rejuvenated. New cells carry sufficient moisture and nutrients, making the skin full and moist, and the feeling of roughness gradually disappears.
Furthermore, glycolic acid can promote collagen synthesis. Collagen is the support pillar of the skin. With the passage of time or due to external interference, its synthesis decreases, and the skin is loose and rough. The function of glycolic acid can stimulate relevant mechanisms, increase collagen production, enhance skin elasticity, and improve roughness.
However, when using glycolic acid to care for rough skin, caution is also required. Because of its certain irritation, those with sensitive skin may need to try it on a small scale first to observe its reaction. Initial use, the concentration should be low, gradually increase, so that the skin can adapt.
In summary, glycolic acid does have the ability to improve rough skin, but it can be used rationally and according to the characteristics of the skin to obtain its best effect, making the skin smooth and delicate again.
