Tip
of the Week:
Alpha hydroxy acids are naturally occurring,
non-toxic substances that enable older or
damaged skin to rejuvenate and resemble younger
looking skin. Lucky for us, they're found
in edible fruits and vegetables, but if you've
been around a while and especially if you've
been a sunworshiper, you might benefit from
an AHA product applied regularly. A
good AHA product rejuvenates and helps
form new skin. AHAs work well combined
with Retin-A
to prevent precancerous skin lesions. This
combination will also reverse brown sun spots,
fine lines and wrinkles -- common changes
associated with aging. The most common alpha
hydroxy acid used for treatment of serious
skin problems such as acne are lactic acid
and glycolic acid. AHAs, alone or with
other substances, can stimulate the natural
process of exuviation--a fancy word that means
older (or damaged) skin rejuvenates and becomes
younger and healthier-looking.
