Having closed comedones is a pain in every girl's heart, so they have to resort to acid peeling. But when it comes to acid peeling, they are confused. Don't be afraid, here I will introduce to you in detail the correct way to use Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid!

Can Paula's Choice salicylic acid be used every day?

Not necessarily, it depends on your individual skin tolerance. If it is your first time using a salicylic acid product, it is best to start with 2 or 3 times a week, and then use it every day after making sure your skin can tolerate it, because salicylic acid is somewhat irritating and some skin types are intolerant to it; it is recommended to use Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid Serum only at night. If you want to use it during the day, please apply sunscreen with SPF15 or above, because after salicylic acid removes dead skin cells, the new cells produced are easily sunburned by ultraviolet rays.

How to use Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid

Dosage: Take a dime-sized amount each time and apply evenly on the face with a cotton pad. In the first week, use it once at night (once every 1-2 days for sensitive skin). Use it gradually and in small amounts at the beginning, and it will not easily cause dryness, peeling, and acne! In the second/third week, you can increase the dosage or frequency of use (morning and evening) according to your skin condition, and the effect will be better! The steps are: cleansing - toner - salicylic acid - essence (whitening/antioxidant) - moisturizing lotion/cream - daytime sunscreen.

How to take care of yourself after using salicylic acid

1. Hydrate and moisturize. After using salicylic acid to peel, the stratum corneum becomes thinner, the skin's ability to lock in moisture becomes worse, moisture is lost, and the skin becomes dry easily. It is necessary to replenish moisture to the skin, but replenishing moisture alone is not enough, moisturizing is also required.

2. Clean. The concentration of the acid used in the scrub is different, and the cleaning process is also different. If the acid concentration is high, you can only use clean water to wash your face. If the concentration is low, you can use facial cleanser normally. This depends on the concentration of the acid used in the scrub.

3. Sun protection. Ultraviolet rays can damage the epidermal cells of the skin. The damage is more serious when the stratum corneum is weak, which can easily cause problems such as tanning and sunburn. Therefore, you must do a good job of sun protection after acid brushing, and try to use hard sunscreen as the main method. The chemical components in sunscreen may be irritating to the skin.
