A fruit acid peel is a type of chemical peel that primarily uses alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic acid and lactic acid. These acids are often derived from natural sources like fruit, milk or sugar cane, which is why they are commonly referred to as 'fruit acids'.
Acids such as AHA (alpha-hydroxy acids), PHA (poly-hydroxy acids) and BHA (beta-hydroxy acids) work on different levels of the skin. PHA provides gentle exfoliation on the surface, AHAs stimulate cell renewal in the deeper layers of the skin and BHA targets impurities. This synergistic effect promotes a smooth, radiant complexion.
To integrate exfoliation into your routine, follow these steps:
- Cleansing: Start by thoroughly cleansing the skin, e.g. with The Ten out of Ten Gel Cleanser
- Exfoliation: Apply the Active Acids Exfoliating Solution onto clean, dry skin.
- Application time:
When using the product for the first time, leave it on for only a few minutes (3-5 minutes). For subsequent applications, the exposure time can be gradually increased to a maximum of 10 minutes.
- Rinse off: Rinse the exfoliant off with lukewarm water.
- Moisturizing: Apply a moisturizer, such as the Barrier Boost CPA Cream.
- Sun protection: Always use sun protection with SPF 50 during the day for the following days.
