Glycolic Acid Skin Care What to Expect
Glycolic Acid Skin Care
You may experience
- Initial stinging or tingling sensation when applying your products. This is temporary and will decrease with time.
- Temporary dryness or flaking can be resolved with a gentle exfoliator that will not irritate your skin.
Signs your glycolic acid strength is to strong or initially applying too much product too often are:
- Your skin is still stinging or burning 3-4 minutes after application.
- Shedding skin at the rate you consider undesirable.
- Red and blotchy, sensitive to other cosmetic products.
- Burns when you perspire.
- Skin feels uncomfortable or seems to be tight or dry.
- The skin is thinner than the rest of your face around your eyes, nose, mouth and neck. The sides of your nose and corners of your mouth may become irritated if too much glycolic acid is applied too often in the initial adjustment phase of the program. The eye area may start looking wrinkled, crinkled or dry as a result of using too much, too soon. Reducing your applications in these areas until your skin adjusts will take care of the problem. Eventually these areas will catch up with the rest of your face and all areas will have the same application schedule.
Should any of these occur, please discontinue use and contact me to adjust your program. You may refer to the Glycolic Acid Problem Solving Application Schedule for online help.
