On the order of use of glycolic acid and moisturizing cream
The way of skin care is very critical in the use of glycolic acid and moisturizing cream successively. Glycolic acid has unique properties, which can rejuvenate the skin and promote metabolism. However, it also has strong effects. If used improperly, it may cause skin discomfort.
Moisturizing cream nourishes the skin and keeps it hydrated. The two are used in a proper order to complement each other.
Glycolic acid should be used first. Because it can exfoliate and open the door to skin absorption. After use, the skin's pores are slightly opened. At this time, followed by moisturizing cream, nutrients can be more easily entered and play a moisturizing and nourishing effect. If you apply a moisturizing cream first, the stratum corneum is separated, and the glycolic acid cannot reach the deep layers of the skin, and the effect is halved. And after using glycolic acid, the skin may feel dry, and the moisturizing cream can be used in a timely manner to relieve this discomfort.
When using glycolic acid, check the skin's tolerance. At the beginning, it should be thin, and the concentration and frequency should be gradually increased. Use glycolic acid first, wait for a while, the skin is slightly dry, and then apply the moisturizing cream evenly to help it absorb. In this way, the work of skin care can be achieved, and the skin is expected to be radiant.
