AHA’s are the first generation of Hydroxy Acids and include Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic and Citric to name but a few and each have their own characteristics and properties. They are used to exfoliate surface skin cells and encourage cell renewal and studies have shown them to have many important antiaging benefits to the skin including increased collagen, improved elastic fibre quality and an increase in water binding glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s). What does this mean for you?, well smoother, firmer skin, diminished lines & wrinkles with a more even pigmentation. Because of their small molecular size AHA’s rapidly penetrate the skin which can cause sensitivity in some people, in these circumstances it is best to introduce them slowly and gradually increase their use and concentration as the skin becomes more tolerable to them. #skinatfab #skincare #alphahydroxyacids #exuviance #glycolic acid #lacticacid #mandelicacid #citricacid #knowyourproducts #ilovefab #finesseaestheticsbeauty (at Finesse Aesthetics & Beauty) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jXwsnh0B7/?igshid=17zz5istzl5su
