The stars of the new rebalancing Skincare
In recent years, skincare has turned into a real science of skin wellness: people no longer seek only immediate aesthetic results, but a deep balance that respects the skin and helps it defend itself against external aggressions. In this scenario, fruit AHAs (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids) and Lactic Acid have become must-have ingredients in contemporary formulas. But what makes them so irresistible to those seeking glowing, smooth and healthy skin? Let's find out together.
Fruit AHAs: the natural touch that renews skin
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are organic acids found in fruits such as citrus fruits, apples, grapes and blueberries. In skincare, they are extracted and purified to provide gentle but effective exfoliation. Their main function? Removing dead cells from the surface layer of the skin, promoting faster cell turnover and restoring an even, radiant appearance to the face.
Why they are so popular:
● More even texture: AHAs smooth the skin surface, reducing the visibility of enlarged pores and fine lines.
● Luminous complexion: By eliminating the dullest horny layer, skin immediately appears fresher and brighter.
● Optimal preparation for treatments: exfoliated skin absorbs serums and creams better, enhancing the effectiveness of the skincare routine.
Trivia:
Did you know that the term glycolic acid comes from sugarcane? It is one of the most studied AHAs, but today laboratories prefer to combine multiple natural AHAs for "smart" exfoliation that acts at different depths.
Lactic acid: the secret to hydration and balance
Lactic Acid is a special AHA: in addition to its exfoliating action, it has moisturizing and balancing properties. It is a natural component of the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), which makes it extremely compatible with even the most sensitive skin.
Its strengths:
● Gentle exfoliation: stimulates cell renewal without attacking the skin barrier.
● pH regulation.: helps maintain the physiological pH of the skin, which is essential for a healthy microbiome and strong natural defenses.
● Soothing action.: great for those suffering from redness or sensitivity because it works softer than other exfoliants.
Trivia:
Lactic Acid was one of the first ingredients used in beauty care back in ancient Egypt: apparently Cleopatra loved to soak in sour milk to keep her skin smooth and glowing!
