Sep 20th, 2009 | By Dee | Category: Beauty & Personal Care

Glycolic as it is the smallest alpha hydroxy acids known to man. It is colorless, odorless and highly soluble in water. Researchers have used it in a variety of skin care products but it’s original preparation was used in the manufacture of metals. Because of its excellent capability to penetrate the skin, dermatologists use it in skin care products and often as a chemical peel.

Dermatologists believe that it improves the skins appearance in texture and may reduce wrinkles, acne, scarring and hyperpigmentation. Once the chemical is applied to the skin it reacts with the upper layer of the epidermis and allows the outer skin to dissolve more easily revealing the new cells beneath.

Age spots

Age spots, commonly called liver spots or brown spots, often plague individuals as they age. Unfortunately, individuals who spend any amount of time in the sun may expect to see these spots emerge after the age of 40. These spots are flats, gray or brown and sometimes black. They vary in size and usually will appear on the face, hands and shoulders-or those areas which are most exposed to the sun. Although they are most common after the age of 40 they can affect younger people as well.

True age spots are harmless but they can mimic cancerous growths. For this reason they should be evaluated by your primary care physician in order to ensure that they are not the early stages of skin cancer.

For cosmetic reasons, liver spots or age spots can be lightened with skin bleaching products or removed at your dermatologist’s office. But, the best way to treat age spots is to prevent them in the first place. This means to avoid the sun and using a high quality sunscreen to protect the skin.  Read more...
