Using Glycolic Acid Without Skin Purging, Redness and Burning 

This blog will teach you the science behind using glycolic acid without skin purging, redness and burning . Skin purging can occur when starting a new skin care routine or using a new skin care product for the first time. It’s a process where your skin adjusts. But what if it’s not an adjustment but the skin’s response to unwanted irritation?  

Skin irritation can be in the form of allergic dermatitis and or contact dermatitis, and the use of glycolic acid can, if the product isn’t formulated or used properly, result in redness and burning sensation that’s often confused with skin purging (adjustment).  

 
The Skin’s Protective Acid Mantle – its natural biome 

Our skin’s natural biome is slightly acidic to help it ward off unwanted or excess bacteria growth. It’s a protective acid mantle, as its often referred, of the skin. There is no good bacteria or bad bacteria. What matters is the healthy balance of the bacteria within the skin’s biome – balance necessary to keep the skin at its best. The pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the skin needs to be in an ideal range, approximately pH of 4.5 to 6 – or irritation and dysfunctions can occur as the skin isn’t able to maintain its ideal balance.

Excess sebum (our natural perspiration and oil) , dirt and yes, accumulation of dead skin cells can disrupt the balance of the skin’s biome and the protective acid mantle. Over cleaning or exfoliation of the skin can do the same as well. Being in balance, staying within the range comfortable pH range for the skin, is important for the skin.  

How Glycolic Acid works to help the skin

 
Skin care products containing glycolic acid aims to burn off excess dead skin cells, thereby making the skin’ surface appear smoother and better able to reflect light, helping to give the skin a healthy, youthful radiant appearance. Exfoliation of excess dead skin cells also help stimulate the skin in accelerating its renewal, also helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production by the skin.  

Obviously, it does not make sense for glycolic acid products to be used during the day, when your skin may be exposed to the sun. And besides, the skin’s natural renewal and exfoliation process occurs while we sleep at night. Yes, the skin sheds its dead skin cells constantly, but it does the so mostly during our sleep. Its one reason why getting enough quality sleep time matters for the well being of your skin.  
 
The best time to apply glycolic acid products is at night. The formulation can then be gentler by working in tandem with the skin’s natural exfoliation process. Of course, its best to apply any skin care product on a properly cleansed skin. To us, that means a double cleansed skin using a cleansing lotion to gently soften and remove oil, dirt, any make-up and dead skin cells, followed by a lathering cleanser that further help lift dead skin cells and trapped dirt and oil on the skin and its pores.   
 
The use of a glycolic acid product also should also be followed by a protective, nourishing serum to protect and nourish the newly exfoliated skin. This serum should be designed to work together with the glycolic acid product and the skin.          

How the product is used matters
