I have...
Dermatitis, Eczema & Psoriasis |
Age spots, freckles, pigmentation Ingrown hairs |
1. I have dry, thickened skin….
When dead skin builds up abnormally it results in callous or dry, age thickened skin. The skin feels and looks rough and its ability to retain water becomes impaired. A gentle and continuous exfoliation of dead skin cells from the surface layers of the skin allows the epidermis to become smoother and softer and reduces the appearance of fine lines while encouraging the cell renewal process.

2. My outdoors lifestyle has left me with sun damaged skin….
Sun exposure is considered to be one of the major factors in premature ageing of the skin and can be seen as wrinkles, rough, leathery appearance and hyper-pigmentation. Scientists tell us that 85% of the suns damage that manifests as we age originates from sun exposure that occurred before the age of 18. The aging of the skin slowly begins to show as the outermost dead cell layer begins to thicken, resulting in course skin texture and lack of elasticity. The skin may look dehydrated and feel dry to the touch and the texture appears less translucent.

3. Help! Acne is ruining my life!
When dead cells clump together, a blockage occurs in the pores which inhibits the flow of oxygen. This blockage allows the acne bacteria to breed and flourish causing the appearance of acne on the skin. Glycolic Acid can help by loosening the glue-like bonding of the dead skin cells inside the follicle and allow dislodgement of the plugs. Also, through reduction of the plugs, follicles are prevented from being clogged, which generally inhibits the acne process.

4. I’m self-conscious of my large pores and blackheads
Dead cells can build up around the follicle openings (pores), making them appear more prominent or dilated. By acting as a follicular cleanser, Glycolic Acid can clear pore openings, making them smaller and more refined.

5. Is there an answer to age spots, freckles and other discolourations?
Hyper-pigmentation (discolouration of the skin) results from the uneven deposits of melanin on the surface of the skin. These deposits appear as brown spots (age spots), freckles, melasma, chloasma and other forms of discolouration collectivity referred to as dyschromia.
Melasma and chloasma are caused by hormonal imbalances, but age spots and acne spots are the result of pigment accumulation on the skin’s surface due to a build up of dead cells. Glycolic Acid can help remove the dead cells, and improve the pigmented areas.

6. Can I do something about ingrown hairs?
Ingrown hairs can be a painful result of shaving or waxing. Shaving or waxing especially of curly hairs can cause the hairs to grow back into the skin not out. Glycolic Acid can loosen the excess dead cells and free the trapped hairs.
