You have probably heard a lot
about AHAs, or alpha hydroxy acids, lately. AHAs
often are found in creams and cleansers to help
normalize cell renewal by loosening the dead cells
of the skin.
As skin gets older or becomes
damage by the sun. Most of the benefit is in exfoliation,
or the removal of dead skin cells, which exposes
newer skin cells and gives skin a younger healthier
looking appearance. On average, the skin takes
28 days to 40 days to renew itself.
In mature skin, the cell renewal
and exfoliation processes diminish and dead skin
cells tend to accumulate, making skin appear and
feel rough, dry and damaged. AHAs also help increase
the skin's moisture retention, keeping the skin
feeling soft and smooth.
Studies have shown the benefits
of AHAs in treating sun damaged skin by helping
to reverse some of the negative effects caused
by the sun on skin collagen and elastin fibers.
Discuss the benefits of alpha
hydroxy acids in your homecare with your dermatologist
or skincare specialist.
