AHAs are water-soluble, so they act on the surface of the skin but not inside the pores. There are different types of alpha hydroxy acid: glycolic acid is the smallest and therefore acts deeper than the others, lactic acid is larger than glycolic acid, so it's gentler and has the advantage of being an excellent natural humectant; and finally, the third type I'm going to talk about is mandelic acid, which has the highest molecular weight and therefore has a more surface action than the other two, making it ideal for sensitive skin. AHA exfoliants from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/en\/brands\/paulas-choice\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/marques\/paulas-choice\/\">Paula's choice<\/a> are ideal in anti-aging skincare routines, and you need to choose the right one for your skin type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beta-hydroxy acid: Salicylic acid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Another category are the Beta hydroxy acids, whose sole representative is salicylic acid, which acts on the skin's surface and deep within the pores, as it is fat-soluble, making it more suitable for oily skin prone to pimples and blemishes, as well as dilated and clogged pores. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it an ideal candidate for acne-prone skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-1024x421.jpg\" alt=\"pore cleaning\" class=\"wp-image-1708\" style=\"width:491px;height:202px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-1024x421.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-scaled-600x247.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-768x316.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-1536x631.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-2048x842.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-260x107.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-50x21.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.beautydecoded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/nettoyage-pore-2-150x62.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poly-hydroxy acids: Lactobionic acid and gluconolactone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>PHAs are the latest acids to be discovered, and they exfoliate the skin quite gently.

For TCA-based peels, the power increases with the number of coats applied: you do one pass, wait to see how the skin reacts, then do another pass, and so on until you get the result you want. Glycolic acid peels, on the other hand, are applied in a single layer, and the strength of the peel depends on the application time: the longer you wait, the stronger the peel. That's why application time is so important when using this solution, and I advise you not to exceed 5 minutes at the start, and to neutralize this glycolic acid-based solution, rinse your face thoroughly and don't forget to insist on the area around the wings of the nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you incorporate exfoliation into your skincare routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first question is at what age should you start using them? There's no age limit. As soon as you want to improve fine lines and boost your collagen production, you need to choose the exfoliant that's right for you and get started. Indeed, the first wrinkles can come too early, especially if you're very expressive, if you smoke or if you often expose yourself to the sun, and let's be honest, genetics count too. If you have acne problems, salicylic acid can help you whatever your age. So there's really no age to start. The important question is how many times a week I should exfoliate my skin. I've tried to answer this by detailing the characteristics of each product, but it depends on a lot of factors: the factors you need to take into account are: what is the state of your skin barrier? If it's damaged, I wouldn't recommend exfoliating acids. Rebuild a healthy skin barrier and you can get down to business. Other factors include the type of cleanser you use, whether it's aggressive or gentle, whether you moisturize your skin properly or use retinoids?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, I'd advise you not to rely on product recommendations, as you'll often find phrases like \"apply this lotion 1 or 2 times a day\", and if you do that in most cases you'll be killing your skin. If you use retinol like I do, you should know that retinol already acts a bit like an exfoliant by accelerating cell renewal, so what I do is, on the days when I don't use retinol, I use an acid. Exfoliation once a week is a good start for most people, but after that it depends a great deal on the type of product, dosage and PH, because you can find glycolic or salicylic acid cleansers that you can use every day, and others that are much more aggressive, as we've seen. So when it comes to frequency, it's up to you to decide according to all the criteria we've seen, even if I've given you the basics. Above all, what you don't want is to exfoliate too often, especially if the products are powerful. If you experience burning sensations, you should stop immediately and rinse your face thoroughly, and if you notice redness, that's not good either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you exfoliate your skin like a pro? I see too many mistakes in this area, people who exfoliate their skin too often don't use the right product, and as a result their skin barrier is damaged and they can't tolerate any product. It's a pity, because exfoliation is an integral part of anti-aging, anti-acne and anti-spot routines, but you still need to know how. That's why today I'm going to explain which exfoliator is right for you, depending on your skin type and problem, and how to incorporate them into your skincare routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scrub for dry skin:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dry skin can use glycolic acid in small concentrations<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns commerce-box-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column commerce-box-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading commerce-box-h3\">Daily smoothing treatment 5% AHA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An excellent exfoliant designed for daily use.

An exfoliant designed for dry skin with anti-aging concerns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I also recommend the use of lactic acid, which is both an exfoliant and a moisturizing acid - there's nothing better for dry skin. It's an acid that's also very interesting for mature skin, as it will provide the benefits of both exfoliation and hydration. Lactic acid is slightly larger than glycolic acid, making it less irritating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns commerce-box-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column commerce-box-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading commerce-box-h3\">Lactic Acid 5% + HA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the lactic acids I can recommend is one from The Ordinary with a concentration of 5 %, which also contains hyaluronic acid. As for frequency of use, if you don't use retinol, you can start by applying it every other day. An excellent product at a low price! Don't forget your moisturizer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Normal to combination skin and anti-aging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><br>If you have normal or combination skin, glycolic acid is certainly the best option. One of the advantages of glycolic acid is its low molecular weight, which means it has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin, making it all the more effective and powerful, but the disadvantage is that it can also cause irritation.&nbsp; <br>For products I can recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns commerce-box-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column commerce-box-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading commerce-box-h3\">8% AHA Exfoliant Exfoliating gel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A relatively powerful exfoliant containing 8% of AHA \"glycolic acid, lactic acid and malic acid\". For optimum anti-aging action, this product is packed with anti-aging peptides and allantoin for the soothing effect. An excellent product to help fight wrinkles, blemishes and texture problems, designed by Paula's choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns commerce-box-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column commerce-box-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading commerce-box-h3\">Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The second product is The Ordinary glycolic acid solution at 7%, an aqueous, basic solution to be used after cleansing the skin. With 7%, we're talking about a medium concentration, so it's a product you can start using every other day unless you're using retinol. If you use retinol, you can apply this exfoliant on days when you don't use retinol. A frighteningly effective and inexpensive exfoliant<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing is to apply the acids in the morning and the retinol in the evening, or if you want to do everything in the evening, space out the application of the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combination to oily skin prone to imperfections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns commerce-box-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column commerce-box-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading commerce-box-h3\">Skin perfecting 2% BHA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For oily skin, salicylic acid is often the best choice, as it's fat-soluble and cleanses pores deep down, reducing inflammation and is therefore ideal for people prone to blemishes and with oily skin. The one I recommend is the Paula's Choice 2% BHA Exfoliating Lotion, which is fantastic for people with acne-prone skin. This cosmetic product can be used every day as it remains very gentle, and it's used like a lotion with no need to rinse the face afterwards. A highly effective combination of salicylic acid and green tea extracts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sensitive skin:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns commerce-box-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column commerce-box-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading commerce-box-h3\">Mandelic Acid 10% + HA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For sensitive skin, the acid I recommend is mandelic acid, which is a very large acid that doesn't penetrate deep into the skin, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Another acid we can recommend is The Ordinary, with 10% of mandelic acid and hyaluronic acid, for such simple compositions there's no need to spend more. If you have sensitive skin, you can start using it every 3rd day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An exfoliator designed for sensitive skin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option for sensitive skin is to use polyhydroxy acids, which are milder than alpha hydroxy acids.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exfoliating masks and peels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns commerce-box-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column commerce-box-main is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading commerce-box-h3\">AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest glycolic acid is The Ordinary's famous mask with 30% AHA and 2% BHA, whose use reminds me of medical peels. For this type of exfoliant, an application once a week is more than enough. It's a very powerful exfoliating peel, but also very irritating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum up, exfoliating your skin will help you with a wide range of skin problems, including anti-aging, blemishes and acne.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The benefits of skin exfoliation.
