Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) have recently become a key ingredient in specialized skin care products. Alpha-hydroxy Acids, also commonly known as fruit acids, are found in natural products. These include critic acid from citrus fruit, lactic acid from sour milk, tartic acid from wine, and malic acid from apples and other fruits.

How Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) Works

Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) work by breaking down the protein bonds that hold together the dead cells on the surface of your skin. They then lift them away and reveal the brighter, plumper cells underneath. This gentle process cleans and clears blocked pores, improves your skin tone and softens the look of fine lines.

Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) products are best under your ordinary everyday moisturizer as a treatment cream. You should avoid applying them to the delicate eye and lip areas. The great news is that AHA products are now becoming more affordable, and not just the preserve of more expensive skincare companies.

Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are an effective way to put the zing back into your skin. In fact, there is nothing new about AHAs - by bathing in asses milk.
