On the relationship between glycolic acid and sun sensitivity
The man of glycolic acid is gradually emerging in the way of skin care. However, there are many opinions, and its relationship with sun sensitivity is obvious to everyone.
Glycolic acid is active and often used in skin care products. It can rejuvenate the skin and make the skin delicate and shiny. Those who use it may worry about whether it increases the sensitivity to sun.
Looking at various studies, it is said that after glycolic acid is used, the skin does have a sensitive appearance in the sun. Glycolic acid loosens the stratum corneum, and the skin is exposed to light, which is easily attacked by ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight, such as sharp blades, hurt even more when the skin barrier is weak. After using glycolic acid, the skin seems to remove thin armor, which is vulnerable to light, redness, tingling, and dry skin.
However, there are also research tables. If used properly and with protection, this worry can be reduced. If glycolic acid products are used, high-multiple sunscreen is used during the day, and both physical sunscreen and chemical sunscreen are used. Parasols, sunscreen clothing and other materials are also provided. When going out to avoid the hot sun, the skin can be safe.
And the concentration of glycolic acid is different, and the degree of sensitivity to sunlight is also different. For low concentrations, the skin may be easy to adapt, and the sensitivity is slightly lighter; for high concentrations, although the skin is rejuvenated, the sensitivity to sunlight also increases.
In summary, glycolic acid or sun sensitivity is not uncontrollable. Users need to understand its properties, choose the product with the appropriate concentration according to their skin type, and pay attention to daytime protection, so that they can enjoy the benefits of glycolic acid rejuvenation and avoid the harm of sun sensitivity.
