Things not to use after brushing glycolic acid toner
Glycolic acid toner is often used for skin care due to its unique effect. However, after use, there are many things to avoid in order to keep the skin healthy.

First of all, note that high-concentration acidic products are not available. Glycolic acid has already had an effect on the stratum corneum of the skin, making the skin in a relatively sensitive state. At this time, if high-concentration salicylic acid, retinoic acid and other acidic products are superimposed, the skin will experience a sharp increase in irritation. Excessive exfoliation of the stratum corneum may cause redness, tingling, and even inflammation. It is like an already soft embankment, which will be hard to bear if it is hit by a flood again.

Strong alkaline cleansing products should also be discarded. Glycolic acid makes the surface of the skin a weakly acidic environment, which is beneficial to the skin's self-protection. Strong alkaline cleansing products will break the acid-base balance and weaken the skin barrier. In the long run, the skin is prone to dryness and itching, and the ability to resist external stimuli is greatly reduced.

Skin care products with too much alcohol content are also not suitable. Although alcohol has the effect of cooling and astringent, glycolic acid has made the skin more fragile, and the stimulation of alcohol may exacerbate skin discomfort. And alcohol can easily cause moisture loss to the skin, making the skin dry and tight. In the long run, it may affect the normal metabolism of the skin.

Scrub products are also taboo. Scrub products exfoliate through physical friction, superimposed with the chemical exfoliation of glycolic acid, excessive removal of the stratum corneum, the skin becomes too thin, prone to redness, more sensitive to hot and cold, ultraviolet rays, etc.

In short, after using glycolic acid toner, in order to protect the health of the skin, the above types of products should be avoided, so that the skin can steadily improve in a mild environment.
