Alpha Hydroxy Acids

The dead cells that sit on the surface of the skin are what dull the complexion, clog the pores, and make the skin look dry.

There are naturally occurring substances in our body that break down these dead cells, and these are called Alpha hydroxy acids.

Alpha hydroxy acids are also responsible for the stimulation of new collagen growth.

And we all know what collagen can do for the condition of the skin.

Anything that will give you tighter, more toned skin, such as collagen is something that we all should promote so it goes without saying that any opportunity to get more alpha hydroxy acid is going to improve the texture of the skin and help us to look younger.

Skin care products often include alpha hydroxy acids in their formulas in order to help improve the quality of your skin.

For them to be effective they need to have a certain percentage of the various acids.

The acids are derived from various different sources including citric acid from fruits such as oranges, glycolic acid from sugar cane, lactic acid from milk products, malic acid from grapes, and tartaric acid from apples.

Using a combination of these acids in skin care products will help to improve and in some cases treat discoloration of the skin as they have light bleaching properties in them.

The skincare products that you will get from a skin specialist will generally have double the amount of alpha hydroxy acids in them, as compared to the over-the-counter products from the cosmetic manufacturers.

Depending on the condition of your skin it might be more economical to see a skin care specialist and get the right products right away rather than relying on cosmetic company products that could take a long time to have any effect.
