On the frequency of fruit acid used to improve pigmentation
The disease of skin pigmentation has plagued everyone for a long time. Fruit acid is quite beneficial in improving this disease, but the frequency of its use is very particular.
Cover fruit acid, which has the ability to exfoliate and promote skin metabolism, can help reduce pigmentation. However, if it is used too frequently, the skin will not be able to be disturbed by it, and it is easy to cause redness, swelling, tingling, and allergies; if it is used too little, it will be difficult to achieve the expected effect.
For those who use fruit acid for the first time, the skin is delicate and sensitive, and it should be started at a low concentration and low frequency. It is better to use it once every seven days to make the skin gradually adapt to the stimulation of fruit acid. After several weeks of adaptation, if the skin is well tolerated, you can gradually increase the frequency of use to once every five days.
However, the skin condition, your mileage may vary. Dry skin, less sebum secretion, thin stratum corneum, use fruit acid frequency should be slow, to once every eight or nine days is appropriate, and pay attention to moisturizing when using, to prevent dry skin desquamation. Oily skin, strong oil secretion, slightly thick stratum corneum, you can try fruit acid every six days to help control oil and keratin metabolism.
If the skin has inflammation, such as acne attacks and eczema, the skin is fragile at this time, rashly using fruit acid will only increase inflammation, so it is necessary to wait for the inflammation to dissipate, and then you can decide the frequency of use of fruit acid according to your own condition.
In general, if you want to use fruit acid to improve pigmentation, you need to carefully observe your own skin characteristics, gradually adjust the frequency of use, and take care of it after use, so that you can achieve the effect of skin beauty without the worry of skin damage.
