"On the Use of Glycolic Acid for Lips"

Lips, people's appearance is tied, and the method of lip care is important to everyone. In modern times, glycolic acid has attracted much attention in the field of skin care, but there are various opinions on its use for lips.

However, the skin of the lip is different from the skin of the face. The skin of the lip is thin and delicate, and there are no sebaceous glands, and the self-protection ability is weak.

If glycolic acid is used for the lips, there may be many considerations. First, the glycolic acid is strong, and the lip skin may be difficult to tolerate. If used, it may cause tingling, redness and swelling of the lips, or even molting, which will damage the health of the lip skin. Second, the lip mucosa is sensitive, and glycolic acid may cause allergies, such as itching, rash, etc., which will increase the disease of the lips.

However, there are also opinions that, if used cautiously and at an appropriate concentration, glycolic acid may improve the rough and dull state of the lips. For example, applying a very dilute glycolic acid solution to the lips for a short time and following up with proper care may promote the renewal of the cuticles of the lips, making the lip color more moist and the texture softer.

In summary, glycolic acid is used for the lips, and the advantages and disadvantages coexist. If you want to use it, you should carefully observe the characteristics of your lip skin, consult a professional, and weigh the pros and cons before you can do it. You must not act rashly to avoid hurting your lip skin and regret it.
