Beneficial Anti Aging Glycolic Acid Peels
Glycolic acid peels are used to slough dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, which helps renew the skin. They are classified as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. (fruity acids) Anyone who wants fresher and healthier looking skin can benefit from their use. Glycolic peels stimulate cell turnover, reduce and diminish fine lines and wrinkles, reduce free radical damage, erase skin imperfections caused by the environment, reduce the size of pores, and assist in jump starting the skins natural production of collagen and elastin.
Glycolic peels are recommended for all skin types, EXCEPT for those who have sensitive skin! The results of using one are firmer, more resilient skin. You can administer treatments at home with available OTC’s OR receive treatments in a Dermatologist’s office. Of course the OTC’s that are available are a lower percentage acid than those that are administered in a doctors office.
OTC Glycolic Peels give your complexion a young dewey look, that you used to only be able to get at the Dermatologist's office. Continued use can make the biological clock reverse!
These include temporary skin irritation and ‘tingling’ and may include some redness. Please read and follow the directions for use by the manufacturer! Over time you can expect symptoms to gradually disappear as the skin adjusts to the treatments. Results vary from person to person. With continued use of glycolic acid treatments you will begin to see subtle improvements in the texture and tone of your skin in about 4 weeks. You will notice a smoother, brighter, and more youthful appearance. *Another alternative is to use peels. These are slightly stronger than AHA's. You can find glycolic peels These products work by removing the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and promote the regeneration of collagen and elastin in your skin. I also just stumbled across TCA chemical peels When you use glycolic acid products, you must be sure to also use a sunblock if you don’t want to re-damage your skin. All AHA's thin the skin slightly. Because of this your skin will be more venerable to the harsh effects of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Sunblocks are a must have if you use AHA’s. For most people, I suggest that you apply these products in the winter months, when you know skin exposure to the sun will be at a minimum. (Unless you are an avid skiier or snowboarder, or stay out in the elements year round.) Glycolic acid peels are a marvel. They can really help enhance and improve the skin’s appearance over time.
