CITRIC ACID Citric Acid is found naturally in citrus fruits, it is a powerful Alpha/Beta Hydroxy Acid that has preventative antioxidant and corrective anti ageing effects. Citric Acid helps to minimise the damaging effects of the sun and pollution and reverses the signs of photo damage and solar elastosis. Clinical studies have shown Citric Acid provides significant anti ageing benefits including building the skin’s matrix to plump and firm the skin whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and increases skin firmness. #skinatfab #alphahydroxyacids #aha #citricacid #exfoliate #antiaging #exuviance #ilovefab #finesseaestheticsbeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/B_HI9xFJAZZ/?igshid=11j9zrfvjrzue

LACTIC ACID Lactic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that occurs naturally in milk, and it is a component of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF). It is similar to Glycolic Acid, but has larger molecules which take longer to absorb by and don’t travel as deeply into the skin, making it perfect for sensitive skin types or those with a compromised skin barrier. Lactic Acid is an exfoliant and humectant, meaning it has the ability to draw moisture in from the area around it and hold it in the skin. Unlike Glycolic Acid it doesn’t thicken the skin (which is why GA is the queen AHA) but it does provide many of the same anti ageing benefits including smoother, softer, more even toned skin with a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. #skinatfab #alphahydroxyacids #ahas #lacticacid #exuviance #dryskin #sensitiveskin #nmf #antiaging #moisturiser #hydration #ilovefab #finesseaestheticsbeauty (at Finesse Aesthetics & Beauty) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ywFdLBCQ6/?igshid=qc9xkkvd8m1t

AHA’s are the first generation of Hydroxy Acids and include Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic and Citric to name but a few and each have their own characteristics and properties. They are used to exfoliate surface skin cells and encourage cell renewal and studies have shown them to have many important antiaging benefits to the skin including increased collagen, improved elastic fibre quality and an increase in water binding glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s). What does this mean for you?, well smoother, firmer skin, diminished lines & wrinkles with a more even pigmentation. Because of their small molecular size AHA’s rapidly penetrate the skin which can cause sensitivity in some people, in these circumstances it is best to introduce them slowly and gradually increase their use and concentration as the skin becomes more tolerable to them. #skinatfab #skincare #alphahydroxyacids #exuviance #glycolic acid #lacticacid #mandelicacid #citricacid #knowyourproducts #ilovefab #finesseaestheticsbeauty (at Finesse Aesthetics & Beauty) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-jXwsnh0B7/?igshid=17zz5istzl5su
