On the Causes and Countermeasures of Thermal Rash Caused by Glycolic Acid
Recently, most people are disturbed by heat rash caused by glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is active and is often seen in various skin care agents. It is originally born to rejuvenate the skin and promote keratin metabolism. However, if it is used carelessly, it will cause a heat rash.
Investigate the reasons for this. First, the tolerance of the skin is different. People have different skin types, whether oily or dry, sensitive or healthy. Glycolic acid has the power to exfoliate, and it may be acceptable to those with strong tolerance; however, sensitive skin, thin stratum corneum, weak external resistance, when encountering glycolic acid, the skin barrier is easily damaged. The epidermis is damaged, the qi is solidified, and evil heat is easy to invade, resulting in a heat rash. The two are used too much or too often. The way of skin care is more expensive than moderation. If you are greedy for its quick-acting, frequent use of high-concentration glycol acid products, the skin can't bear its strength, and the heat toxicity is inherent. It accumulates in the skin, and it develops into a heat rash.
Knowing the cause, you should find a way to deal with it. When you feel unwell on the skin at first, it is suspected of a heat rash, that is, stop the products containing glycol acid, so that the skin can rest. Then, use gentle methods to soothe. Cleanse the face with water, remove its dirt, and prevent the residual glycol acid from disturbing the skin again. You can apply soothing masks, such as those containing aloe vera and chamomile, to take their effect of cooling and detoxifying and soothing the skin. You should also be careful in your diet, and avoid spicy, greasy, and spicy things to prevent fire from generating heat and aggravating the rash. It is advisable to eat light fruits and vegetables, such as pears, watermelons, bitter gourd, etc., to clear away heat and dampness, so that the inherent heat comes out of the urine. If the rash is severe and cannot be cured, you should ask all doctors and take medicine according to the doctor's instructions. You must not be arrogant.
In summary, using glycol acid for skin care must inform your own skin type and observe the principle of moderation, so as to avoid the disease of heat rash and obtain health for your skin.
