Glycolic Acid Dry or Wet Skin
On the effect of glycolic acid on dry and wet skin
In this world, there are many opinions on the method of skin care. Among them, the use of glycolic acid has attracted much attention. However, when applied to dry and wet skin, the effect is very different, which cannot be ignored.

For dry skin, its texture may be fine. If applied with glycolic acid, it needs to be evaluated according to the situation. Because it has a certain peeling effect, it is used for dry skin, and it may feel tight at first. If the concentration is slightly higher and not well protected, it may cause skin discomfort, such as redness and tingling. However, if used in moderation and properly nourished in the follow-up, you can remove the old waste keratin on the surface, make the skin regain its luster, and the texture gradually smooths. However, the act of nourishing and moisturizing should not be slack.

As for wet skin, water covers it, and the texture is relatively flexible. Glycolic acid works faster when wet skin. With the help of water molecules, glycolic acid is more likely to penetrate into the shallow layers of the skin and accelerate keratin metabolism. However, when wet skin is used, although absorption is good, it is also necessary to pay attention to the concentration and duration. If used too much, the skin barrier may be damaged, which will exacerbate the loss of water and make the skin more sensitive.

Therefore, when using glycol acid on dry or wet skin, the skin characteristics should be carefully observed, its concentration should be controlled, and its use should be controlled. Dry skin is heavily nourished to protect its moisturization, and wet skin should be used with caution to prevent damage to the barrier. In this way, the benefits of glycol acid skin care can be obtained and its harm can be avoided.
