On the Application of Glycolic Acid to Postshave Bumps
Postshave Bumps are those who suffer from postshave. The skin is stimulated by the razor, and every time there is redness, swelling and pain, it plagues many beards. Since modern times, the application of glycolic acid to such diseases has gradually attracted the attention of doctors.
Glycolic acid is a kind of fruit acid, its molecule is delicate, and it penetrates the skin with strong power. Applied to the skin, it can loosen the connection between the keratinocytes, make the aging stratum corneum fall off, and smooth the surface of the skin. This effect on postshave bumps can improve the blockage of the hair follicle mouth. The cause of the mass behind the beard is often caused by the blockage of the hair follicle, the accumulation of keratinocytes, which hinders the normal growth of the hair, resulting in inflammation. Glycolic acid can remove the scale of the hair follicle mouth, the hair can flow out smoothly, and the mass can be relieved.
And glycolic acid has the ability to stimulate the proliferation of collagen in the dermis. When shaving, the microstructure of the skin may be damaged. Glycolic acid can promote the regeneration of collagen in the damaged part, enhance the toughness and elasticity of the skin, and help it repair. The skin around the mass after shaving can gradually return to normal due to inflammation or texture changes.
However, the use of glycolic acid should also be cautious. Its acidity can irritate the skin. If the concentration is too high, the use is too frequent, or the skin is already sensitive, it is easy to cause adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, tingling, and itching. Therefore, when using it for the first time, it is advisable to try it on a small area of skin to observe its reaction. If there is no discomfort, then expand the scope of use. And the use cycle also needs to be reasonably arranged and should not be over-reliant.
In short, glycolic acid is effective in improving the mass after shave. However, the user must know its advantages and disadvantages in detail and act prudently to achieve the purpose of optimal skin care and disease removal.
