After using ordinary glycolic acid, the skin is in a more sensitive and accelerated state of metabolism. At this time, the choice of follow-up care products is very critical.
When cleansing, you should choose a gentle and moisturizing cleansing product to prevent excessive cleaning and damage to the skin barrier. Because it can gently remove dirt on the surface of the skin, while retaining the necessary moisture of the skin, maintain the skin's water and oil balance.
Toner needs to pay attention to soothing and repairing, and toner containing natural plant extracts, ceramides and other ingredients is appropriate. These ingredients can quickly replenish moisture to the skin, relieve the slight irritation that may be caused by glycolic acid, strengthen the skin barrier function, and return the skin to a stable state.
In terms of essence, avoid products with strong irritation, and choose essence containing niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and other ingredients. Niacinamide helps to even out skin tone and improve skin dullness, while hyaluronic acid focuses on deeply hydrating the skin, improving skin moisture and gloss.
Lotions or creams should have good moisturizing and water-locking properties. Products like squalane, Vaseline and other ingredients can form a protective film on the surface of the skin to prevent skin moisture loss, consolidate the skin's moisturizing effect, and keep the skin hydrated for a long time.
Sunscreen is even more indispensable. After using glycolic acid, the skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet rays. It is necessary to choose a mild and protective sunscreen. Physical sunscreen is a good choice, which can effectively block the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin and prevent skin problems caused by ultraviolet rays, such as tanning, sunburn, photoaging, etc.
