What are AHAs? AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) are acids extracted from fruits such as orange, blueberry, and sugarcane. These acids have several properties that can improve the appearance of the skin. They can be used to exfoliate the skin in a chemical peel. A peel is a chemical exfoliation of the skin. It has the same effect as a scrub, for example, without causing damage to the skin due to friction. An AHA -based peel is therefore particularly recommended if you want to remove dead skin cells and make your skin smoother and softer. How does it work? The peel will destroy the surface layers of the skin. This will renew the skin by removing dead cells. It will thus penetrate deep into the skin to purify it and reduce imperfections. AHA peels help tighten pores, even out skin tone, and brighten skin. It provides evenness and elasticity. It also reduces pigmentation spots. Why use fruit acids? They are 100% natural and have a powerful effect on the skin. This gentle enzymatic exfoliant aids in cell renewal. As we saw earlier, AHAs have multiple positive effects on the skin. Incorporated into a peel, they are a simple, quick, and effective skin treatment. AHAs are for you if you want to restore radiance to your dull and tired complexion or if you have blemish-prone skin.
