If you look after your skin and want to make sure that it stands the test of time, there’s one ingredient that you need to make sure you have in your skincare products – and that’s glycolic acid.
This particular ingredient actually serves as an excellent exfoliant and helps to renew your skin a lot quicker so if you are worried that your complexion is looking a little on the dull side, using glycolic acid can help to restore your beautiful youthful glow.
But it’s not just a good exfoliating agent – it can also work wonders when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation as we age.
And it’s not only effective for people concerned about their skin as they get older, glycolic acid can also be a great option for younger people as well, because it can help to prevent breakouts while hydrating the skin… so it’s a win-win, for all!
You’ll find that glycolic acid is included in a wide range of skincare products, so it’s simply a matter of finding which one works best for you, whether you want a cream, a toner or a cleanser.
Make sure that you build your way up to using it regularly as it may result in peeling at first and increased sensitivity, so you would be wise to reduce the frequency of use to protect your skin.
While salons are closed for the time being because of lockdown, it’s important to keep up a regular skincare regime if you can. And make sure you come and see us here at Bristol aesthetic clinic Dermalogic once we’ve reopened, so we can really give your skin a treat.
