On the method of sharing glycolic acid with AHA and BHA
If you want to use glycolic acid with AHA and BHA, you should clarify its properties and do it cautiously. Glycolic acid is a kind of AHA, which has the ability to exfoliate and promote metabolism, but its properties are strong. AHA is mostly derived from natural fruit acids, which can brighten the skin; BHA is salicylic acid, which is good at penetrating deep into pores, clearing oil and anti-inflammation.
Before using it, you must know the quality of the skin. If the skin is sensitive and weak, it should be used together rashly, which may cause discomfort, such as redness, tingling, and desquamation. Therefore, those who are sensitive to the skin should try it on a small scale first and observe the response of the skin.
The method of combining, the concentration should be low at the beginning. Glycolic acid can be gradually increased from a low concentration. The same is true for AHA and BHA. And the frequency of use should not be too dense. At the beginning, you can use it once a day, until the skin gets used to it, and then increase the frequency.
The order of use is also exquisite. Or first use a gentle cleansing to clear the skin. After drying, apply glycolic acid products first, and then use AHA or BHA after a while. Or vice versa, it should be noted that the time when the two contact the skin should not be too long.
Also, when used together, protection is essential. Sunscreen must be used during the day to avoid UV damage to the skin and the risk of pigmentation. And skin moisturizing should not be ignored, it is appropriate to use moisturizing products to protect the skin's barrier.
In general, the use of glycolic acid and AHA and BHA should follow the rules of concentration, frequency and sequence according to the nature of the skin, and also pay attention to protection and moisturization, so as to obtain its benefits and avoid its harm.
