How acids can renew your complexion

Have you been wondering if you need to introduce exfoliating acids into your routine?  Well, if you are over the age of 20 and your skin is starting to look uneven and dull, acids could be your new skincare best friend. By the time we reach our mid 20s our skin’s ability to exfoliate naturally starts to slow, this leaves a build of up dead skin cells on the surface, causing skin to appear to dull, textured and more prone to breakouts.  Enter exfoliating acids. 

What are the benefits of adding an exfoliating acid into your routine?

Exfoliating acids are chemical exfoliants that work by loosening the bonds that hold dull, surface cells to the outer layer of the skin. This encourages the shedding of these old, often unevenly pigmented cells, revealing fresh, plump, even toned skin underneath. Accelerating skin turnover also helps to decongest pores and prevent the formation of blemishes and breakouts. Smoother, clearer, and better hydrated skin looks healthier, and functions more efficiently.
