Good evening.~
Recently, the wind of "brush acid" is particularly strong, and yesterday I knew that I had a bunch of questions about sensitive myosocial brush acid.
Regarding the problem of "sensitive brush acid", some people say that of course it is possible, and some people say that it is absolutely not. But as adults, we should know that many things are not just black and white answers, but also a lot of gray areas. The same is true for the matter of brushing acid, we still have to analyze it on a case-by-case basis.
Today I will talk to you about "sensitive creatine acid". Today's content includes:
Classification and role of acids;
How can sensitive skin tell if they need to brush acid?
What should I do with sensitive creatine?
If you're interested in the above, read on
First, the classification of acids and the role of different acids?
At present, the acids we often mention in brush acid mainly refer to two categories: fruit acid and salicylic acid.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71" >frucic acid;</h1>
Fruit acid is a general term for a class of acids. Its structure is simple, with strong permeability, transdermal absorption, can accelerate the epidermal keratinocyte renewal, stimulate the production of collagen and mucopolysaccharides in the dermis layer, can effectively improve various skin problems.
The common fruit acids in skin care products on the market are arranged in order of molecules from small to large: glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid and so on.
In terms of efficacy:
Glycolic Acid: Promotes skin renewal, conditiones dead skin, unclogged clogged follicle openings, and smooths and rejuvenates the skin. Its molecular weight is the smallest, the effect is the best, and of course the irritation is also the strongest;
Citric acid: can brighten the skin tone and fight against skin oxidation problems;
Amygdallic acid and tartaric acid regulate keratin, remove excess oil, prevent blockage of the sebaceous glandular mouth, and have anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic effects.
The above-mentioned category is actually called the first generation of fruit acid (AHA) in the fruit acid family, and the first generation of fruit acid is indeed strong, but the irritation is also strong, and it is indeed not suitable for sensitive skin.
Later, Strychnine developed the second generation of fructic acid gluconolactone (PHA) and the third generation of fructic acid lactate, the main role is more inclined to moisturizing and barrier repair, more suitable for dry sensitive skin use.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" >salicylic acid;</h1>
Salicylic acid first came from willow bark, in addition to willow bark also contains salicylic acid in fruits and vegetables such as myrtle, blackberry, cantaloupe, guava and so on.
Salicylic acid is a fat-soluble ingredient whose main roles include:
It can release the bridge granules between keratinocytes, help dissolve the blackheads that are clogged in the pores, and promote keratin metabolism to achieve acne removal effect.
Salicylic acid can inhibit skin inflammatory factors, thereby achieving anti-inflammatory and bacteriostatic effects.
The high concentration of salicylic acid can promote the exfoliation of the skin, thereby playing a whitening and anti-photoaging effect.
When it comes to salicylic acid, many people always mention that cuticle peeling makes the stratum corneum of the skin thinner. In fact, there are two sides to the matter of cuticle peeling. If the surface of the skin is very thick, it is actually necessary to promote the regeneration of the horn by peeling it.
In addition, the low concentration of salicylic acid in skin care products cannot actually achieve the role of keratin peeling, mainly in oil control and anti-sequencing, moisturizing and accelerating skin metabolism.
Second, how to judge whether sensitive skin skin care needs to brush acid?
Before talking about whether sensitive skin can brush acid, we should first talk about the focus of sensitive skin care.
Old friends know that we have been stressing that the root of sensitivity is the damage to the barrier. Therefore, the focus of sensitive skin skin care should first be on barrier repair. Of course, this is not to say that sensitive skin can not brush acid at all.
The following 2 questions should be considered before sensitive creatine:
Do you really need to brush acid?
Can the irritation of brush acids be tolerated by your skin?
Many small partners actually do not know what they need, only know what is hot at the moment, and watch others do what they want to do. In fact, skin care is the most taboo to blindly follow the trend.
Earlier we talked about the different effects of different acids, but to sum up the main effects of acids include:
Accelerates the metabolism of keratin in the skin and promotes keratin renewal;
Anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic;
Unclog pores;
Smoothes and brightens the skin tone;
Before deciding whether to use acid or not, see which effects are your current skincare needs? Also consider whether if you use acids, are you receptive to the intolerance and irritation of acid products when the barrier is damaged?
If you are really sensitive and stinging with anything you usually use, it is recommended to give up brushing acid for the time being, and then consider brushing acid after the skin is in a stable state after repair. When the skin is in a state of damaged barrier, acid products on the face will not only bring you a strong tingling sensation, but also may also lead to inflammation due to intolerance. Therefore, brushing acid at this time actually does more harm than good.
Of course, there are also small partners who say that I am sensitive muscle and want to solve the problem of blackheads. In this case, you can use acid topically, but I feel that it is completely unnecessary. It is not impossible to treat it after the skin is repaired, and skin care is really a long-term protracted battle, there is no need to rush it.
In addition, skincare ingredients or products are not irreplaceable. Sometimes A can't be used, maybe B or C can be solved. Therefore, if it is sensitive skin, there is really no need to follow the trend of brushing acid.
3. How to choose acid products for sensitive skin?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="105" > low concentration, low frequency;</h1>
Again, when first used, the tolerance is established at low concentration, low frequency, and low dose. It is not harmful to feel a slight sting, but if there is obvious tingling, large redness and swelling, it is recommended to wash it immediately.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="107" > avoid areas of intolerance for topical use;</h1>
In addition to low concentrations and low frequencies, another recommendation is to avoid intolerant areas and do zoned skin care. For example, most people actually have a lot of oil in the T-zone, and the intolerant area is often in the center of the cheek and the triangle under the eye. It can be used locally in the T-zone by avoiding areas prone to sensitivity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="109" > choose a mild acid;</h1>
Strive for skin care, in addition to method products are also very important. As mentioned earlier, the second and third generations of fruit acids are actually relatively mild and more suitable for sensitive muscles. Here are also a few recommended for everyone:
Core Silk Glue Essence;
Speaking of acid, how can you not mention the core Strychnut? Other brands of acid re-fire ancestors or core Silk, helpless core Silk is really too low-key.
The glue essence of the core silk is a relatively popular one. This 10% lactic acid is formulated with a combination of retinyl acetate and vitamin C vitamin E derivatives. Lactate is a mild acid suitable for sensitive muscles, and although it is not as effective as a generation of acids in helping keratin renewal, it is a highlight of mildness.
The texture, as the name suggests, is as sticky as glue. It is not recommended to rub the upper face back and forth, the skin feeling experience will be bad, it is recommended to press the upper face.
Pei Li Kang Blue Run Conditioning Essence;
Peregrine Blue Run Conditioning Serum mainly uses gluconolactone + protease to achieve safe and gentle keratin conditioning effect. At the same time, compound urea, lotus magnolia and palm tree bark extract soothe anti-allergy. The texture is relatively refreshing, the disadvantage is that it smells less friendly.
SVR Anti-Acne Repair Soothing Serum;
This is also the main second generation of fructic acid glucolide, while compounding niacinamide, sea fennel extract, vitamin E and so on. Gently conditiones keratin while helping to unclog pores, taking into account anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Although it doesn't work as quickly as a generation of acids, it's just as subtle and silent. The texture is refreshing and oily and the skin is stress-free to use. More importantly, it is cost-effective
