A Beauty Editors Guide To Skincare Acids
Skincare acids, such as glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid, have become essential components in modern beauty routines due to their powerful effects on the skin. These acids can exfoliate, hydrate, and target a range of skin concerns, but understanding how often to use them is crucial for achieving results.
Today, we’re diving into the benefits of both glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid, with a special focus on the Able products you can find in the Fresh Start Kit from ROCCABOX.
Glycolic Acid: Exfoliation and Skin Renewal
Glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), is a chemical exfoliant that works to remove dead skin cells, allowing fresh, glowing skin to emerge. It can help with uneven texture, fine lines, and even hyperpigmentation. The Able Glycolic Firming Face & Neck Mask featured in the Fresh Start Kit is a perfect way to introduce glycolic acid into your skincare routine. The mask provides a firming, exfoliating treatment that revitalizes the skin.
How often should you use glycolic acid?
If you're new to glycolic acid, it's important to start slow. Initially, you can use it once or twice a week to allow your skin to build tolerance. Over time, you can gradually increase the frequency, but it’s generally safe to use glycolic acid 2-3 times per week. Always remember to follow up with sunscreen, as glycolic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
Hyaluronic Acid: Hydration and Plumpness
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our skin that helps retain moisture, giving skin a plump, hydrated appearance. Unlike exfoliating acids, hyaluronic acid doesn’t require you to build up tolerance, which makes it a great daily use ingredient. The Able Eight Hour Hyaluronic Facial Serum included in the Fresh Start Kit is designed to give your skin a serious hydration boost, leaving it feeling dewy, plump, and rejuvenated.
How often should you use hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid can be used every day as part of your skincare routine. It works wonderfully in both the morning and evening, offering hydration without irritating the skin. It pairs beautifully with other ingredients, like glycolic acid, providing the perfect balance between exfoliation and moisture. For optimal results, you can use a hyaluronic acid product daily and pair it with glycolic acid a few times a week for smooth, hydrated, and radiant skin.
Insider Tip: Apply your hyaluronic acid serum product to damp skin for optimal results! Then, follow with a moisturiser.
Maximising Your Routine with the Fresh Start Kit
The Fresh Start Kit from ROCCABOX has everything you need to kickstart your skincare journey. Whether you receive the Able Glycolic Firming Face & Neck Mask for exfoliation or the Able Eight Hour Hyaluronic Facial Serum for hydration, you're giving your skin the care it deserves.
You can use a hyaluronic facial serum everyday, twice a day if needed. You can pair this with a glycolic acid mask once or twice a week. The best news is that you’ll also find a glow enhancing Antipodes Gospel Vitamin C Cleansing Gel in the Fresh Start box too, meaning you can work on brightening dull skin as a first step, and focus on hydration and exfoliation after.
By incorporating both glycolic and hyaluronic acid into your routine, you can achieve a fresh, radiant complexion without overloading your skin. Remember, the key is moderation—start with once or twice a week for glycolic acid, and use hyaluronic acid daily to lock in moisture and maintain a healthy glow.
