On the suitability of toner and glycolic acid
In today's skin care, both toner and glycolic acid are commonly used. However, whether the two can be used together is really related to the profit and loss of the skin, which cannot be ignored.
Toner has many effects of cleansing, hydrating, and balancing the acid and alkali of the skin. Its texture is light and can quickly penetrate the skin, laying the foundation for subsequent skin care. Glycolic acid, a type of fruit acid, can exfoliate, promote skin metabolism, and refresh the skin.
If the two are properly adapted, the effects may be superimposed. The toner first hydrates the skin and moisturizes its surface. Glycolic acid then acts. When exfoliating, it may help the skin better absorb toner nutrients, making the skin hydrated and delicate.
However, there are also risks in adapting. Glycolic acid is strong. If the skin is sensitive, if the toner cannot be fully soothed first, then use glycolic acid, or cause the skin to be intolerant, showing redness, swelling and tingling. And some toners contain special ingredients, which meet with glycolic acid, or react chemically, damaging the skin barrier.
If you want to use toner and glycolic acid, you should first carefully review the characteristics of the skin. Sensitive skin, it is advisable to be cautious, try it on a small scale first, and observe the skin's reaction. If the skin tolerates it well, you can gradually explore the adaptation method, initially reduce the amount and frequency of use, and then make adjustments depending on the degree of skin adaptation.
In short, the adaptation of toner and glycolic acid needs to be treated with scientific methods and caution, in order to achieve the beauty of skin care and protect the health of the skin.
