Acids categories: Beauty Alphabet

Acids are divided into AHAs (Alpha hydroxy acids), BHAs (Beta hydroxy acids) and C.

The first category of acids derives mainly from sugar cane: its extract is a best-seller with rare beneficial properties in radical skin renewal. The renowned glycolic acid belongs in this category: An award-winning innovation honored in many Prize-winning aesthetic studies. Glycolic acid is probably the most popular acid and the one Urbane Skin therapists trust the most to improve skin texture. Thanks to its regenerative properties, it is a popular treatment that targets hyperkeratotic or dry skin issues, restoring hydration and producing rejuvenation.

Glycolic acid has the ability to:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
• Eliminate spots and scars caused by photoaging.
• Balance oiliness and soothe acne-prone skin.

 

BHAs (Beta hydroxy acids) quickly regenerates skin tissue, reducing oiliness and seborrhea. The best-known BHA is salicylic acid, scientifically proven to offer a beneficial effect on oily skin; it has turned out to be a great ally in the fight against acne and excessive sebum secretion over the years.

Fruit acid peelings are appropriate for all skin types; they are painless and do not produce irritation, allowing you to get back to your daily routine. BHA treatments are recommended to take place during winter months when sun exposure is limited.

As with all aesthetic facial treatments, a professional deep pore cleansing is the first step.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q: Rumor has it that acids cause irritations. True or false?

Nowadays, modern acids – especially those developed with gemmotherapy – achieve deep exfoliation and immediate skin renewal aiming at anti-aging, whitening, lightening and soothing inflammation, as well as reducing scars. And all these without any discomfort!

Q: What makes glycolic acid a “superstar”?

A: Glycolic acid is a powerful, natural ingredient, extracted from sugar cane. It has won awards during the 1980’s and still stands-out and been recommended by beauty scientists around the world for its longevity, efficacy and safety. It is also popular as an ingredient in many cosmetic formulas.

Q: What should we expect after a fruit acid peeling?

A: Peelings on the epidermis are practically harmless; as for fruit acid peelings, a slight redness is usually observed only for a few hours, depending on the skin type. And then a glowing and renewed skin is emerged.

Q: At which age are fruit acid treatments recommended?

A: Beauty has no age and every treatment is our skin’s legacy over time, since the effect is cumulative. So, any treatment we apply today is chosen according to the skin’s current needs, i.e., nutrition, glow, anti-aging, reduction of oiliness to name a few.

Q: Why are fruit acids recommended during the winter months?

A: Because there is no intense sunshine and skin is better protected and recuperates faster. Skin that is exposed to the sun immediately after the application runs the risk to develop some sort of photogenic damage. For that matter, also the use of sunscreen with a high protection index is imperative after such an application.
