Many people like to follow the trend. They watch others poop and poke their buttocks . When they hear people say that acid can make them tender and thin, they are eager to follow suit. So can acid be used randomly? If your skin is fine, I suggest you don’t brush it.
Unless you have closed lips/clogged pores/thick stratum corneum/enlarged pores and your skin can tolerate it well, then consider acid treatment.
Suitable for acid brushing: 1. Closed mouth:
Closed mouth usually means that the pores are closed, and the sebum mixed with scurf secreted by the sebaceous glands cannot be discharged smoothly, and the "suffocation" becomes painless, itchy, and long-lasting acne. This kind of acid brushing can clear the pores.
Typical closed mouth
Typical closed mouth acne
Closed mouth acne
Suitable for acid brushing situation 2: The pores are obviously clogged:
Visible grease plugs block the pores, which is very serious
Case 3 for acid brushing: Too thick cuticle, uneven complexion, enlarged pores
The main function of acid brushing ispromotes the peeling and metabolism of old cuticles, and promotes skin regeneration. Generally speaking, new skin is much softer and smoother, and there are fewer related problems.
So many people say that the skin becomes finer after acid treatment. It is for this reason that the pores of new skin are smaller, so it is reasonable to use acid treatment to refine the pores.
This picture is just a schematic diagram to show the comparison between old and new skin. Acid brushing does not really remove a layer, but slowly metabolizes it.
In addition, acid brushing promotes the peeling off of old dead cuticles, and most of the stratum corneum has strong pigmentation. Generally, dark yellow and poor complexion can be effectively improved after acid brushing removes old dead cuticles.
If you haven’t understood it yet, then I don’t know that you haven’t come into contact with foot mask .
Foot mask is actually a kind of high-concentration acid brushing. You can think of it as a facial mask for the feet, but it uses a high-concentration acid solution:
Foot mask is usually applied once a day or two, and each time takes about 10-30 minutes. Some people will peel off their skin after doing it several times (some people will peel off after doing it more than ten times):
Even some people’s thick dead skin calluses will be peeled off:
When the peeling is completed, the feet become tender and smooth:
If you imagine this process, this is probably the principle of acid treatment.
Of course, the soreness on the face will definitely not be as "violent" as the soreness on the feet, and the process will be much more "easy".
Don’t be afraid when you see the word acid when using acid. It is not sulfuric acid or nitric acid. The main acid used is fruit acid (AHA) or salicylic acid (BHA). Fruit acid is divided into glycolic acid, malic acid , tartaric acid, citric acid , and is mostly extracted from plants or fruits and vegetables.
Generally speaking, acid rejuvenation is divided into two types: medical beauty acid rejuvenation (fruit acid peel) and daily maintenance acid rejuvenation:
Generally, fruit acid peels performed in beauty salons use relatively high-concentration fruit acids, such as glycol acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid, etc. Different types of fruit acids have different properties. Of course, the same fruit acid has different effects at different concentrations.
Fruit acid peel
High concentration of fruit acid can promote the shedding of the old cuticle on the face, accelerate the skin's metabolism , and promote the replacement of epidermal cells. Therefore, many people can try to use acid brushing to improve skin problems such as acne/closed lips/thick stratum corneum/enlarged pores.
70% concentration of fruit acid, the concentration is directly proportional to the risk
However, not everyone can do fruit acid peeling. Before proceeding, you must first go to a professional institution for a skin test, and only after passing it can proceed.
Some fruit acid concentrations are even as high as 75%
Acid brushing is relatively technical and cannot be done privately. It needs to be cared for by a professional beautician.
The steps are roughly as follows: first test - cleanse the skin - apply high-concentration fruit acid - spray neutralizing solution to terminate the effect of the acid. During the process of fruit acid peeling, accompanying reactions such as tingling, redness, itching, and hotness often occur. Some excessive operations may even lead to peeling. The beautician will also use ice compresses or targeted nutritional creams to alleviate the problem. Therefore, high-concentration acid application is risky. Do not use it privately. I emphasize again.
Although fruit acid peels use powerful ingredients, they are not satisfactory only once or twice. They are usually performed once every 4-6 weeks, and the concentration of the fruit acids used also gradually increases. During this period, be sure to moisturize and protect yourself from the sun. The specific recovery status varies from person to person, and the beautician will generally inform you of this when you go to the beauty salon for consultation.
Common side effects after a fruit acid peel are as shown in the two pictures above, redness or breakouts.
Compared with going to a beauty institution for a fruit acid peel, Daily maintenance of acid peels is much simpler 2, use some products containing low concentration (generally controlled within the safe tolerance range of 1-3) fruit acid, just use it like daily lotion. Although the effect is slower than fruit acid peeling, it is safer. There is no need to go to a beauty salon. If you insist on using it every morning and night, you will not feel anything, but the skin will improve bit by bit, and if you persist, you can achieve very satisfactory results. (For example, the same year of regular fruit acid peels and a year of daily maintenance of fruit acid yogurt, the results are greatly improved)
As mentioned above, there are many kinds of fruit acids, glycolic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid and so on. , the efficacy is different:
Comparison of the efficacy of various fruit acids |
Glycolic acid: small molecular weight, very good at penetrating, softening, dredging, peeling off the cuticle, and dissolving oil |
Lactic acid: whitening, moisturizing, pH adjustment |
Citric acid: pH adjustment, dry wrinkle care, anti-aging adjustment for young skin |
Tartaric acid: The effect is not great when used alone, but when combined with other fruit acids, it can enhance the efficacy of other fruit acids |
Mandelic acid: anti-aging and improve fine lines |
Malic acid: not effective alone, combined with mandelic acid has stronger anti-wrinkle ability, combined with glycolic acid tartaric acid, whitening and tenderizing effect Fruit is better |
Therefore, even if the concentration of acid is low, it is still a technical job to use it alone, and it is difficult for ordinary people to figure out how to mix and use it. At this time, you might as well use Lazy Compound Fruit Yogurt . According to the scientific matching ratio of various fruit acids, you can use it instead of ordinary lotion:
Lazy Compound Fruit Yogurt, which contains a variety of fruit acid complexes. Combined, the effect is wider, you can just use this one
Lazy Compound Fruit Yogurt is a compound of a variety of low-concentration fruit acids. In fact, it has nothing to do with "brushing". There is no need to brush it at all, and it does not need to be neutralized. It can be used as an ordinary lotion in the morning and evening.
How to use it is very simple: After cleansing your face in the morning, apply some toner, then apply a thin layer of fruit yoghurt, pat until absorbed, bingo, done, stick to it, your skin will look like a new baby.
The effect will be much slower, but it is safer. Since you need to use lotion every day, it is better to use this targeted lotion directly.
Of course, don’t be impatient and follow the principle of skin gradient improvement. After all, it will take more than a year for you to go to a beauty institution for a fruit acid peel.
Lazy man's complex fruit yoghurt generally lasts for 3-6 months, and the skin's tenderness can be improved by two to three degrees
Of course, just like any skin care, you can't do it too hastily, work slowly and carefully, and maintain good skin.
Things to note after applying acid |
There are many things to pay attention to after applying acid, otherwise the new skin will also be damaged by external stimulation.
Beauty institution after acid peel : Be sure to protect yourself from the sun, avoid direct sunlight, cover your face tightly with a hat, mask, and towel:
The tighter the mask, the better
Daily maintenance After acid peel : No special care is required. There is no need to cover it as tightly as above.
Of course, it will be better if you use sunscreen every day:
Remember to use sunscreen every day
If you really don’t want to wear sunscreen, just try to avoid sun exposure, and there is no need to take care of it deliberately.
Okay, my sister will share it here, let’s get started~~~~~
