How Long to Wait to Apply Moisturizer After Glycolic Acid
On how often to use moisturizing products after using fruit acid
Fruit acid is a commonly used product in skin care, which can improve many skin problems, such as roughness and dullness. However, after using fruit acid, it is crucial when to use moisturizing products.
Generally speaking, after using fruit acid, you need to wait a little before applying moisturizing products. When caffeic acid acts on the skin, it will affect the stratum corneum of the skin, making the skin temporarily more sensitive. If you apply moisturizing products immediately at this time, it may interfere with the effectiveness of fruit acid and even cause discomfort.
It is generally recommended to wait about 15 to 20 minutes after using fruit acid. During this time, fruit acid can give full play to its conditioning effect on the stratum corneum of the skin, promote aging keratin shedding, and accelerate skin metabolism. After the effect of fruit acid is stabilized, apply moisturizing products to effectively lock in skin moisture, enhance skin barrier function, and avoid skin moisture loss due to acid stimulation.
When applying moisturizing products, the action should be gentle to ensure that the product evenly covers the skin, so that it can not only achieve moisturizing effect, but also reduce the stimulation of sensitive skin after the action of fruit acid, so that the skin maintains a hydrated and healthy state.
