Natural Barrier Repair Body Care: AHAs for the Body

Natural Barrier Repair Body Care: AHAs for the Body

Erin Cummings

When people think of the skin barrier, what usually comes to mind is the skin on their face. Because the skin on our faces tends to be more sensitive or reactive, we tend to pay more attention to it than the skin on the rest of our bodies. While body care is often overlooked, it's actually very important to our overall skin health. Neglecting your skin barrier can cause issues like strawberry skin, uneven tone or texture, ingrown hairs, and even breakouts.

Resurfacing skincare gently removes dead skin cells to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath. Unlike aggressive treatments, natural resurfacing supports healthy cell turnover while protecting your skin barrier. This leaves your skin noticeably brighter, softer, and more even. 

What are AHAs?

Alpha Hydroxy Acids, or AHAs, are chemical exfoliators that remove dead skin cells. Getting rid of the extra gunk and dead skin leaves you less susceptible to ingrown hairs, clogged pores, and blackheads. AHAs also treat rough and textured skin by promoting cell turnover. Without a buildup of dead skin, moisturizers and serums are most easily absorbed.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic Acid has the smallest molecular size of all the AHAs, allowing it to penetrate deep into the skin and dissolve the bonds that hold dead skin cells together.

Lactic Acid

Lactic Acid is a gentle AHA that exfoliates while also acting as a humectant, keeping the skin nourished and hydrated.

Malic Acid

Derived from apples and other fruits, Malic Acid is a gentle AHA with remarkable brightening abilities. It also balances the skin's pH levels, promoting barrier health.

 

Daily Renewal

Daily Renewal AHA body serum combines the benefits of 3 alpha hydroxy acids. Using low concentrations of lactic, glycolic, and malic acids, Daily Renewal exfoliates and refreshes skin while being gentle enough for daily use.
