Is rubbing with vinegar harmful to the skin?
Rubbing with vinegar can sterilize and whiten the skin, but if it is used too frequently, it will corrode people's skin and mucosa, which is harmful.

Vinegar contains a certain concentration of acetic acid, which is a disinfectant and can play a role in cleaning and disinfection. Occasionally rubbing it with vinegar can really whiten and detoxify. However, the surface of human skin is weakly acidic, and frequent use of acetic acid will destroy the acid-base balance of skin. So "vinegar bath" varies from person to person. If it is dry skin, it is best not to "vinegar bath". "

In addition, if you bathe with vinegar often, it will dry your skin. It is recommended to take it once every half month.

Extended data:

The doctor reminded: from a medical point of view, acetic acid has bactericidal effect, but rubbing the skin with vinegar for a long time is not good for skin health. In addition to vinegar bath, milk bath and salt bath are also common services for bathing at present.

The doctor also said that although milk has a moisturizing effect, it is a macromolecular substance, and only absorbs a small amount of protein and nutrients when washing milk bath; Although salt bath can remove the stratum corneum, it will rub the skin and make it thinner, so it is necessary to control the frequency.

Is vinegar good for the skin? The cosmetic doctor of Yi Ming Plastic Surgery Hospital in Jilin said that because vinegar contains a certain concentration of acetic acid, acetic acid is a disinfectant, which can play a role in cleaning and disinfection, but too many acidic substances will corrode people's skin and mucous membranes, so it must be diluted.

Dropping a few drops of white vinegar when washing your face can not only whiten and detoxify, but also exfoliate and make your skin smoother and more delicate. Therefore, there is no harm in rubbing with vinegar, but the effect can not be shown several times.
