Great skincare is all the rage these days! With so many products on the market, it can be overwhelming. So, I thought I would take a minute and talk about key essential ingredients that you should be looking for and what they do to help improve the help of your skin.
Everyone's skin is so unique and has unique needs. It's not a one size fits all! I often recommend combining customized products with the essentials to achieve the most potential.
Asorbic Acid
Better known as vitamin C, asorbic acid is an anti-oxidant that can reduce skin pigmentation as well as free radical damange that can degrade skin's collagen and elastin over time. In other words. it slows down the aging process!
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Glycolic acid or lactice acid are examples of AHAs, which exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother, more even skin. AHAs are great for all skin types and are the secret to a healthy glow.
Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)
The most common form of BHAs in skincare is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is great for oily or acne prone skin because it can deep clean the pore lining, it is anitmicrobial, which can help prevent or reduce breakouts and blackheads.
Retinoids
Commonly referred to as retinol. Retinoids have been scientifically proven to reduce the signs of aging, promote cell turnover (production of new skin cells), reduce pore size and promote even, smooth skin.
