On the age of glycolic acid
The use of glycolic acid has attracted much attention in the field of skin care. However, there are different opinions on the age of its application, and it needs to be analyzed in detail.
Young people have delicate skin and strong metabolism. If you use glycolic acid too early, it may have the ability to exfoliate or damage the skin barrier. Therefore, when you are young (about ten to twenty years old), you should use it with caution if it is not a special need for skin diseases. At this age, the skin has its own ability to repair and renew, and excessive intervention is not beautiful.
As for the thirties (about twenty to forty years old), the skin's metabolism gradually slows down, or appears dull and rough. At this time, glycolic acid can help. It can gently exfoliate, promote skin renewal, and make skin tone even and delicate. However, when using it initially, you should also be cautious. Start with a low concentration to see if the skin tolerates it or not. Step by step, you can get the benefits of maintenance without the worry of damage.
Over the age of 40 (over 40 years old), the loss of collagen in the skin intensifies, sagging and wrinkles gradually appear. Glycolic acid can stimulate collagen production in addition to keratin, which has a certain effect on improving skin relaxation. However, skin at this age is more fragile, and it is especially necessary to carefully adjust the concentration and frequency according to individual skin conditions.
All in all, the age of glycolic acid is not fixed, and it should be carefully determined according to the characteristics, needs and tolerance of the skin of each age. If used properly, the skin can be radiant; if not done carelessly, it may damage the foundation of the skin. Be scientific and prudent, and use this skin care agent to achieve a healthy and moisturized skin.
