Glycolic acid peel, ph and concentration

The new year's resolution period is coming and has indirectly something to do with glycolic acid peel. Indeed, as we may decide to clean our messy cabinets and cosmetic cases, it is a good idea to renew our peeling products, since the acid concentration tends to increase. I liked this detailed (but easy to read) article on ph and acid concentration :

Even the FDA has weighed in on the issue and says that products containing AHAs glycolic and lactic acid are safe for use by consumers if the AHA concentration is 10% or less and the final product has a pH of 3.5 or greater.

Rantings on glycolic acid peel

If you are some guy reading this, it is unlikely you ever heard or read about glycolic acid peel. No I did not say this is not for you.
In fact women are more naturally inclined to take care of their skin because it is a woman thing. So in those days of being picky about what to choose (and rightly so I might add), people involved in skin care for whatever reason, personal or professional, know that glycolic acid is the core component of many cosmetic products. Lotions, creams, you name it !

So why a blog about glycolic acid peel ? Well we will also talk about other topics related to skin care, such as skin bleaching cream, stretch mark treatment, laser skin surgery or laser acne scar removal (this new technology appears to be effective). But for now, suffice to say there are different mixes and blended together ingredients where glycolic acid can be found. Did you know, however, that it is quite impossible to find pure glycolic acid, for this can be hazardous at high concentrations ? That is why many beauty specialists recommend starting off with as low a concentration as 10 percent or 15 percent. This is providing mild itching and does not stress too much your skin, especially if you are starting with it. And especially in very special areas such as your face.

So here we are with glycolic acid peel that can be applied for many skin related issues, such as sunburn, skin rejuvenation, acne prevention and or treatment, and of course stretch marks. So you will want to have glycolic acid based creams in summer time. Another element in your arsenal, with sunburn pain killing creams, and of course sunscreen, which is by the way recommended after any peeling method have been applied. The core principle of this natural born acid (can be mainly found in sugar cane) is that is goes under the skin and unhooks old and dead cells. This principle alone is responsible for many skin improvements, among those very little known collagen boost.

One other little known fact is you can start with glycolic acid peel at the very adolescence, a period of time when drama can take place daily. So instead of rushing to the bathroom trying to bust unwanted zits, every teenage daughter should have a well informed mother teaching her about proper nutrition, hygiene, and the benefits of this alpha hydroxy acid !

With that being stated, happy reading of this glycolic acid peel blog !
