SKIN TIP 101 "WHAT ABOUT ALPHA HYDROXY?"

Alpha Hydroxy acids, or AHA for short, are compounds taken from Sugars found in Milk and Fruits. Alpha Hydroxy Acids are known to be effective in Rejuvenating the Skin, and lessening Wrinkles. It does this by Exfoliating dead cells, which encourages the Skin to grow Cells to replace the old ones! AHA also induces the production of Elastin and Collagen. If used incorrectly or used too much AHA can irritate the skin. Make sure you're not using too much of it, and make sure you have Sun Protection when you use it. If you're Smart, you could be on your way to a Younger Looking Skin!
