On the Effect of Glycolic Acid on Oily Scalp
In recent times, many people suffer from oily scalp diseases, such as excessive oil in the scalp, itching and odor, and hair loss. Therefore, it is hoped that everyone can find a good remedy to solve this disease. Glycolic acid has long been famous in the field of skin care, and is now gradually used in scalp care. Its effect on oily scalp is worth exploring.
Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid with small molecules and strong permeability. It can dredge the mouth of the hair follicle and exfoliate. Oily scalp is often blocked by the accumulation of keratin, resulting in poor oil excretion. Glycolic acid can solve this obstacle and make oil secretion return to normal. If the skin uses glycolic acid products, it can rejuvenate the skin, and the scalp is the same. After exfoliation, the hair follicles are unobstructed, and the oil can flow out smoothly without accumulating. The condition of head oil may be improved.
Furthermore, glycolic acid can regulate the microecology of the scalp. Imbalance of scalp flora is also one of the causes of oily scalp. Glycolic acid can create a suitable environment, inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, and help the growth of beneficial bacteria. Under a healthy microecology, scalp oil secretion stabilizes. Such as fertile soil Yuliang seedlings, a good microecology is conducive to scalp health, and oily problems may be relieved.
However, the use of glycolic acid on the scalp also requires caution. It is irritating, and the scalp skin is delicate, or intolerant. Beginners should try it on a small scale first to see if there is any discomfort, such as tingling, redness and swelling. And the frequency and concentration of use also need to be determined. Too high concentration, too frequent use, or damage the scalp barrier, causing more serious problems.
In short, glycolic acid in oily scalp care may be an effective way. Those who use it, when they understand its advantages and disadvantages, according to their own scalp condition, use it cautiously, in order to improve the best effect of oily scalp, and also the scalp is refreshing and healthy.
