Something that’s talked about with growing frequency amongst skincare addicts is whether one should be sticking to the same routine week in week out or switching things around. My view is that switching things around is good but as long as you keep to a variation on a theme. What I mean by this is that you stick to the same set of proven ingredients (retinols, AHA’s, vitamins/antioxidants) but you play around with different concentrations and formulas.
This why the I’m very excited that Alpha H are launching two new Glycolic Acid products – Liquid Gold Ultimate Perfecting Mask and Liquid Gold Resurfacing Cleansing Cream. They can be used in addition to the products you already use as a way of progressing the results of your skincare routine. One way they’ll do this is that the products you apply after using them will be more effective as they’ll be able be to penetrate more deeply. Before going into detail on each of the products I want to dispel the myth that Glycolic Acid and other AHAs ‘thins the skin’. AHA’s eliminate the outer dead skin cells but actually thickens the living epidermal layer and encourages production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. It’s the accumulation of dead cells on the surface that can make skin look dull and getting rid of them gives skin the glow that Liquid Gold products are famous for achieving.
