Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid – What are their Benefits?

Every woman’s dream is to have a “Glowy” skin free of spots, fine lines, acne and wrinkles…

Stress, pollution, sun radiation and a poor diet lead to premature ageing, dull and unhealthy skin. The high exposure to the radiation from cell phones and laptops can also increase melanin production in the skin. This can give you an uneven skin tone and even dark spots all over the face, among other hundreds of reasons that can really damage your beautiful face…

What can you do to take control of all the things that are damaging your skin?

Luckily, there are many steps that you can follow in order to fight all the aggressive enemies that are damaging your beauty. Eating healthy, drinking enough water and avoiding the consumption of alcohol, cigarettes and sugar will definitely help you see a great difference. However, this is not enough!

Here is where the skincare rituals, supplements, good hygiene and finding out more about what some miracle ingredients can do for your skin.

What is Glycolic Acid and what can you use it for?

Watch Glams explaining what is Glycolic Acid, what is good for and how to use it in beauty.

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) used to work the deepest surface of the skin and treat fine lines, dullness or sun-damaged skin. In fact, it is one of the favourites of Asian women that are obsessed about using it in their weekly and monthly skincare rituals. Glycolic Acid is one of the most used to perform chemical peels which makes it the best acid to eliminate dead cells.

Among other benefits is the shape of its molecules. So small, that they penetrate the skin much better and reach deeper layers. When you regenerate it on the inside, it reveals itself on the outside as radiance and healthy skin.

But be careful, because abusing it is not good. Do not combine it with other ingredients that are aggressive or with other acids that can be a bomb for your skin, especially if it is sensitive and the lack of knowledge of how to use this type of acids might end up with bad results!

What is Salicylic Acid and what are its benefits?

Watch the Dermatologist Dr. Pimple Popper explains what is Salicylic Acid, its benefits for the skin and how to use it.

Salicylic Acid is used to remove and prevent the appearance of pimples and other skin blemishes in people with acne.

It is also used to treat skin conditions that are characterized by flaking or excessive growth of skin cells, such as psoriasis (a skin disease in which red, scaly patches form in certain areas of the body), ichthyosis (congenital diseases that cause dryness and flaking of the skin), dandruff, corns, calluses and warts on the hands or feet.

Salicylic Acid soothes acne by reducing swelling and redness and opening clogged skin pores, allowing pimples to dry out. Relieves other skin conditions by softening and loosening dry, flaky, or thickened skin to facilitate shedding or removal.
