Mixing Glycolic Acid and Aloe Vera
On the combination of glycolic acid and aloe vera
The nourishment of the skin is related to the combination of various things. Glycolic acid is strong and can rejuvenate the skin, peel off the old layer and refresh the new face, make the skin smooth and shiny; aloe vera is moist and soothing, clears heat and poisons and protects the skin surface, making the skin comfortable and moisturized. The use of both is the choice of nourishing the skin, but can it be mixed and used?

Glycolic acid has corrosive properties. Although it can promote keratin metabolism, excessive use will hurt the skin, cause redness, swelling and tingling. Aloe vera contains polysaccharides, flavonoids and other substances, which have anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects, and is often a good medicine for skin discomfort. Mixing the two requires detailed investigation.

It is said that the two can be combined. The moisturizing of aloe vera can slow down the intensity of glycolic acid. When rejuvenating the skin, it protects the foundation of the skin and prevents it from being damaged too much. And the moisturizing of aloe vera can replenish the loss of moisturization of the skin after exfoliation with glycolic acid, making the skin new and moist, which complements each other.

It is also said that the two are not suitable for combination. The alcohol acidity is too strong, or the composition structure of aloe vera is broken, reducing its soothing effect. And after mixing, its chemical properties change, or cause unknown harm, endangering the health of the skin.

If you want to know whether the two can be mixed, you should review their properties in detail. Try it on a small part of the skin first to see if it is uncomfortable. If there is no redness, swelling or itching, it can be used gradually. And when using it, it is appropriate to control the amount. Glycolic acid is not too strong, and aloe vera is not too small. Seeking a balanced state is a good way to maintain skin. In general, skin care should not be done carelessly. The use of combining the two things should be done with scientific methods and a cautious heart.
