What is A.H.A? Alpha Hydroxy Acids. The theory of AHA is simple, the family of AHAs - derived from fruit, lactic acid and sugar cane work by loosening the intercellular 'glue' that holds dull, dead cells to the skin's surface. The AHAs stimulate protein utilization by the living epidermal cells, promoting faster renewal of the epidermis. Nonie of Beverly Hills strictly uses 100% NATURAL AHA's that are never processed using heat, chemicals or pressure. The AHA's we use do not come from lactic acid, therefore making our products vegan friendly. How will this help my Skin? Some of the reported skin care benefits from using products containing AHAs include a visible reduction in facial lines, a softer smoother feeling skin and a healthier more even looking complexion.
What do AHA's Do? These AHAs are gently exfoliating. This action results in an increase in new cell turnover which translates to a smoother, fresher, younger looking skin. By shedding these cells, a new and hopefully more youthful skin is exposed underneath. As the complexion takes on a glowing, polished finish. With continued use, even fine lines and age spots will be visibly diminished. Are AHA's safe?
Used in 5% concentrations in a cosmetic cream they give a safe, slow but continuous and effective action. Nonie of Beverly Hills also offers a 10% concentration for experienced skin. |
