AHAs are the new trend in skin care, as they promise fresh, bright and smooth skin in the most effective way.
But what are AHAs and why should they be included in the skincare routine?
AHA or Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) are water-soluble substances of natural origin with a rich rejuvenating and anti-aging effect. The most popular and effective are lactic acid from milk, glycolic acid from sugar cane, citric acid from citrus fruits, mandelic acid from almonds and malic acid from apples.
Over time, the rates of natural skin cell renewal decrease, resulting in dead cells remaining longer on the surface layer of the skin, and it looks dull, rough and tired
AHAs offer:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Firmness and elasticity
- Hydration of the skin
- Improvement of discolorations for a uniform smooth effect
- Glow and revitalization
AHAs, widely used for their exfoliating abilities, remove dead cells from the skin, making it look smoother and brighter. AHAs offer chemical exfoliation, which is considered a much gentler and skin-safe method than scrubs that contain exfoliating granules. They also help sun-damaged skin by maintaining skin moisture while activating collagen and elastin production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. They also work against discolorations and brown spots, as they help remove accumulated melanin, while keeping skin pores clear preventing the appearance of black spots.
The ideal period for the use of care products with AHA is winter, as it is recommended to limit exposure to the sun, due to the photosensitivity they cause, while daily sun protection with products with a high SPF index is considered essential.
A serum like the BFFECT AHA 30% + Mandelic Acid 4% Serum with AHA and a high concentration of fruit acids offers rejuvenation and nourishment to the skin. The result is an improvement in the appearance of the skin, smooth and flawless youthful skin.
