Salicylic Acid Skin Resurfacing Tips

Salicylic Acid Skin Resurfacing Tips

The metabolic cycle of the skin is 28 days, it takes 14 days for a new cell to move up from the base to the clear layer and 14 days for the stratum corneum to form and shed. However, as we age, external environmental changes and poor lifestyle habits can have an impact on the skin's metabolism. When the skin has problems such as acne, closed mouths, blackheads and blemishes, and daily skincare products are unable to solve these problems, it is time to use acids to help improve the skin's condition.

What is acid resurfacing?

By brushing acid resurfacing, we mean applying the right concentration of acid to the surface of the skin to remove the old outer keratin layer of the skin by the action of the acid, which in turn promotes new skin growth. It also dissolves the old accumulated keratin layer in the hair follicles, corrects abnormal cell shedding, and also eliminates acne, prevents skin problems such as blackheads, acne and clogged pores, and reduces abnormal shedding of the hair follicle wall. In simple terms, it promotes the shedding of the skin's stratum corneum, exfoliates old and waste skin, accelerates skin metabolism and creates a new stratum corneum. There are many different types of acids, currently salicylic or fruit acids are used, and depending on the concentration of the acid, they can be divided into skin care acids and medical brushing acids.

Acid for skin care products: Exfoliates, improves dullness and brightens skin tone by applying skin care products containing low concentrations of fruit acids or salicylic acid. Nowadays, many skin whitening products are compounded with acids to increase their effectiveness.

Medical Acid Brushing: In professional medical facilities, a professionally trained technician uses highly concentrated fruit acids or salicylic or compound acids, peeled to different skin depths to promote collagen regeneration for a reshaping effect, also known as chemical resurfacing/chemical peeling.

Common concentrations of fruit acids in hospitals are 20%, 35%, 50% and 70%; salicylic acid is commonly used in concentrations of 10% to 30%. The higher the concentration, the greater the risk. The most direct way to differentiate between medical brush acid products and skin care acid products is by their concentration.

The higher the concentration of acid, the greater the risk of adverse reactions during the "acid brushing" process. Therefore, high concentration "acid brushing" needs to be carried out in a professional medical facility. So! Not all acids can be self-administered!

Who is salicylic acid skin resurfacing for?

Salicylic acid can be used on any skin type and is most suitable for seborrheic skin, also known as oily skin, and is known as the mother of oily skin, because salicylic acid is a fat-soluble acid that works by following the secreted oil deep into the pores.

The chemical structure of salicylic acid is similar to that of aspirin and can also be used to prepare aspirin, so salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antibacterial effects on inflammatory acne and skin. It can be used as an adjunct to the treatment of closed pores, inflammatory acne, blackheads and acne marks. Its lipolytic properties facilitate penetration into the deeper layers of the pores by following the sebaceous glands that secrete oil, dissolving the old accumulated keratin layer in the pores, improving pore blockage, unclogging pores, blocking acne formation and reducing and improving deformed pores and brightening the skin tone.
