Pinks Boutique Podcast With Kirstie & Luke Sherriff

A lot of people are afraid of adding acid based products into their skincare routine, and the reason for that is they’re afraid of them. They still have the ‘burning, melting face image’ in their mind but I can reassure you, that when used cautiously acids can be a great asset in your skincare routine. There are three main categories of acids: AHAs, BHAs, PHAs. AHAs: Exfoliate skin, stimulate collagen and help regulate keratin. They are water soluble so, you’re more likely to find them in toners and toning pads. They are recommended to ageing skin and brightening skin. BHAs: Are great for oily skin or if you have the tendency to break out, if you have spots, blackheads, and it also works as an exfoliator. BHAs are oil soluble so it’s drawn to the oils of the skin and go a lot deeper. You’ll be able to find this acid in moisturisers for oily skin and KP products. PHAs: They work on the surface of the skin, they have larger molecules, and they are great if you have sensitive skin. Nothing But The Truth. Pinks B
