On the Method of Using Glycolic Acid on the Face
If you want to apply glycolic acid to your face, you should do it carefully.
First, cleanse your face. First, use a mild cleansing agent, gently rub it on your face, remove its dirt and oil, and rinse it with water to make your face dry. This move paves a smooth way for the application of glycolic acid to make it more effective.
Second rule, the sensitivity test should not be ignored. Take a little glycolic acid product, apply it behind the ear or in the secret part of the jaw, and wait for two hours. If the skin is not red, swollen, itchy, or tingling, you can use it to prevent allergies.
And when applying, either dip a cotton sheet in an appropriate amount of glycolic acid solution, or directly take an appropriate amount of glycolic acid essence, and apply it lightly to the face. Start from the cheeks, and then go to the forehead, chin, and both sides of the nose. The movement should be slow and even to avoid the delicate skin around the eyes and lips.
The amount of application should be moderate. For beginners, the amount should be small, and the amount should be increased gradually to make the skin respond slowly. The frequency of application should be used at the beginning or every two or three days. When the skin adapts, it can be gradually increased to once a day or as directed by the doctor.
After applying, the skin may feel a little warm and slightly prickly, which is a normal sign. If you feel unwell, wash it quickly with water. And it is advisable to apply a mild moisturizer after use to help the skin lock in water and prevent it from drying. Also, be careful to avoid sunlight. Glycolic acid makes the skin sensitive to light. It is especially necessary to apply sunscreen during the day to avoid sunburn and pigmentation.
In this way, use glycolic acid on the face in a careful way to obtain its benefits and avoid its harm, and nourish smooth skin.
