When it comes to the mixed use of glycolic acid and witch hazel
for skin care, everyone seeks its good. Glycolic acid is active, and has a great effect on the metabolism of the skin's keratin, the delicacy of texture, and the brightening of color. However, it is strong in nature, or causes skin discomfort, so it should be used with caution.
Witch hazel has the power to soothe and calm, and converge. It can relieve the dryness of the skin, inhibit the secretion of oil, and tighten the skin.
As for whether the two can be mixed, it needs to be carefully considered. Alcohol acidity is a fruit acid, which is corrosive to a certain extent. Although witch hazel is a mild thing, when mixed, or due to the interaction of the two chemicals, it will cause unpredictable changes.
If mixed rashly, those with delicate skin may develop redness, tingling, and itching. Therefore, before mixing, try it on a small scale in a hidden place of the skin. If there is no abnormality in the skin within a few hours, you can try it gradually. And when mixing, it is advisable to dilute its concentration first and observe the tolerance of the skin.
The method of mixing is also exquisite. You can first clean the face with a cleansing product, let it dry, take an appropriate amount of witch hazel water, pat it on the face, and wait for it to seep into the skin. Then take a small amount of glycolic acid products and apply them evenly. The technique should be light, avoiding sensitive areas around the eyes and lips.
In short, skin care is related to skin health. Whether glycolic acid is mixed with witch hazel or not should be used according to personal skin characteristics, and it must not be blindly followed, resulting in skin damage.
