Recently, the well-known actor Lin Yun shared his experience of trying acid brushing for the first time in order to solve the problem of closed mouth, which aroused the attention and discussion of the majority of netizens.
Lin Yun described the process and effect of brushing acid in the post, "After brushing for three days in a row, I started to peel the next day, thinking that it was a change of season, but I didn't expect the acid brushing to be so fierce."
And expressed his gratitude to mandelic acid, and successfully "planted" this skin care method.
Just from the comparison of the forehead shared by Lin Yun, the skin looks much more delicate after brushing acid.
However, many experts point out that please do not "brush acid treatment" at home!
"Brushing acid", can you really "change your face"?
Recently, the official website of the State Food and Drug Administration released an article "Scientific Understanding of "Acid Brushing" Beauty", emphasizing that "acid brushing treatment" needs to be operated by trained professionals in hospitals or clinics with medical qualifications, and the "acid" used is not cosmetics.
In this regard, Xu Shunming, director of the Department of Dermatology of Pudong New Area People's Hospital, also suggested: Please do not "brush acid treatment" at home, and do not "brush acid treatment" with each other at will.

Following the "beauty blogger" to brush acid, the young girl is in danger of being disfigured
Dermatologists: Nearly 100 cases a year
Earlier, according to the statistics of the Department of Dermatology of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, nearly 100 patients with different degrees of contact dermatitis caused by improper acid brushing were received in a year, and the cases were mainly "post-90s" and "post-00s".
I got contact dermatitis after brushing acid, courtesy of the interviewee
followed the "beauty blogger" to brush the acid, and the result was almost disfigured
The redness of the face and the scabbing of the white cheeks began to scab, which was the first impression of Xiao Wang by Xu Danfeng, the attending physician of the Department of Dermatology of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. A few days ago, Xiao Wang, a girl in her 20s, rushed to the dermatology clinic.
Xiao Wang has high requirements for his appearance, and he has been upset recently because of a few acne on his face. Due to her busy work and the trouble of going to a beauty shop, she listened to the recommendation of a "beauty blogger", bought 30% high-concentration fruit acid online, and then operated the acid brush herself at home according to the "beauty blogger" hand-in-hand demonstration.
I thought that the acne would subside like this, but who would have thought that after Xiao Wang brushed it once, his face immediately burned and reddened, and his cheeks were even a little red, swollen and white, and the white places on his cheeks began to scab the next day. Looking in the mirror, she couldn't help but scream: "Oops, disfigured!"
Xiao Wang felt that the problem was more serious, and immediately went to the dermatology department of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital for treatment.
"This is actually 'contact dermatitis' caused by acid brushing. Tao Xiaohua, chief physician of the Department of Dermatology of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, said that in fact, 30% of the fruit acid has reached the concentration of medical brush acid, which has strong ablative, corrosive and irritating, which has led to Xiao Wang's facial redness and scabs. "Although it will improve after later treatment, there is still a risk of leaving pigmentation and skin sensitivity. ”
The concepts of "acid application" and "acid brushing" need to be clarified
Director Tao Xiaohua said that the so-called "acid brushing" is a chemical peel, also known as chemical peeling, which is to apply chemical agents to the surface of the skin to promote new skin regeneration after causing controllable damage to the skin. The type of chemical, its concentration, and the length of time it stays on the skin can all affect the depth of the peel. According to the depth of action of chemical peels, they can be divided into superficial peels, middle peels, and deep peels. The deeper the peeling effect, the more pronounced the effect and the greater the chance of adverse reactions.
"In fact, problems such as acne and closed acne can be improved with appropriate use of acid products. But 'acid application' and 'acid brushing' are not really the same concept. Director Tao Xiaohua introduced that this year, the Food and Drug Administration issued a special document to popularize science, and the only skin care products that can be added to daily skin care products can be skin care products that use acid-containing ingredients - anoretic acid. "We think you can apply acid moderately, but medical concentration of acid, such as more than 20% fruit acid, 30% salicylic acid can be regarded as brushing acid. Acid brushing is a medical practice and must be performed in a hospital. ”
Director Tao Xiaohua said that when the "acid brushing" treatment is carried out in medical institutions, professionals will choose the appropriate concentration and program according to the actual situation of the patient, and can scientifically observe and judge the reaction process of the skin under treatment, and intervene or terminate it in time if necessary. "Like Xiao Wang, it is absolutely not recommended to use high-concentration medical acid products on your own as a doctor. ”
Applying acid, skin problems may also occur
Even if the home acid is applied, there may still be some skin problems, Director Tao Xiaohua reminded that these "side reactions" are worth noting:
The first is acne, because acids have a certain keratin exfoliation effect, so in the early stage of using acid products, there may be a short-term acne aggravation increase, which is a normal skin reaction, and will gradually improve after 2-3 months of use.
The second is redness and peeling, which is due to the exfoliation of acids, and many people will experience skin intolerance reactions in the early stages of using acid products. It may manifest as dry, peeling, or even redness of the skin, so it is generally recommended to discontinue use in time and use it at intervals after strengthening the moisturizing skin to return to its normal state.
The third is redness, swelling and itching, some people may even be allergic to acids, such people may not be suitable for using acid products, if the reaction is serious, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
In fact, in addition to choosing the right skin care products, it may be more effective to pay attention to reasonable rest, healthy diet, and appropriate exercise. Director Tao Xiaohua said.
So beauty is at risk
Don't look at the star Meimeimei, you are impulsive, remember that you still have to listen to the doctor and go to a regular hospital.
