Glycolic Acid on Sunburn
On the use of fruit acid in sunburn areas
Recently, people have paid more attention to skin care, and sunburn conditions are also common, so there is a question about whether fruit acid can be applied to sunburn areas.

Fruit acid has a variety of effects. First, it can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, accelerate the renewal of the stratum corneum, and make the skin surface smooth. Second, it can stimulate the synthesis of collagen in the dermis, which helps the skin to be firm and elastic. However, it is also irritating. If used improperly, it is easy to cause skin discomfort.

Sunburned skin, the epidermal barrier is damaged, showing redness, swelling and pain. At this time, the skin is sensitive and fragile. If fruit acid is used rashly, the irritation of fruit acid or the skin damage will be exacerbated. After sunburn, the skin's inflammatory reaction is on the rise, and fruit acid may interfere with the skin's self-repair process, causing even redness, swelling, tingling, and even peeling, allergies, etc.

Therefore, at the beginning of sunburn, fruit acid should not be used at all. You can try it cautiously only when the sunburn symptoms subside and the skin returns to normal. When trying it out, test it on a small area of skin first to see if it has any discomfort. If there is no abnormality, then gradually expand the scope of use, and the frequency should be low, and the concentration should be thin. In this way, you can avoid accidents when protecting your muscles.
