On the Usage of Glycolic Acid in the Armpit
Glycolic acid is mild in nature and has a unique effect. It has attracted more and more attention in the field of armpit care. Here is a detailed description of its usage for everyone's reference.
Note before use, armpit skin is more sensitive, and when using glycolic acid products for the first time, be sure to do a local skin test first. Take a small amount of preparation containing glycolic acid, apply it to a small area of hidden skin in the armpit, and wait for 24 hours. If there are no discomfort symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and tingling during this period, it can be used normally.
When officially using, it is recommended to keep the armpits clean and dry. You can wash the armpits with mild bath products first, gently dry the water, and avoid excessive friction damage to the skin
For the solution containing glycolic acid, you can dip an appropriate amount with the help of a cotton ball or cotton pad, and apply it gently to the armpits. The action should be slow to ensure that the application is uniform, especially paying attention to the wrinkles. After applying, wait a moment to allow the glycolic acid to fully act on the skin.
If using glycolic acid cream or gel, squeeze out an appropriate amount of product on the fingertips, gently rub it warm, apply it evenly to the armpits, massage in circles to promote absorption.
The frequency of use also needs to be controlled. In the early stage, the skin has not yet adapted, so it can be used every two or three days. As the skin's tolerance increases, it can be gradually increased to once a day, but it should not be used too frequently to prevent skin damage.
After use, if the armpit skin feels slightly tight, it is normal. You can apply a gentle moisturizing lotion to relieve discomfort and maintain skin hydration.
Use glycol acid to care for the armpit skin. If there is any serious discomfort during the process, such as large area of redness and swelling, increased pain, etc., you should stop using it immediately and seek medical attention in time. Follow the above usage to safely and effectively use glycol acid to care for the armpit skin.
