Maintenace of the skin has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of alphahydroxy acids (AHAs)-light peels- in the early 90s. There are many products containing AHAs available on the market. I recommend medically dispensed home care products- prepared in an all natural healing aloe vera base and combined with free radical fighting vitamins. The product is free of colour additives, fragrances, harsh alcohols, comedogenic oils or other ingredients that may cause sensitive reactions. The surface dead skin layer is "unroofed". Brown spots, if present, fade; the new skin underneath is exposed with a smoother, more radiant appearance. SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM ACNE LESIONS. There is no "downtime" after this type of peel and makeup can be applied soon afterwards. Such a regime is ideal for individuals with busy social and business schedules.
