Surely you have already heard that the skin is the largest organ in the body and that when it is exposed to agents that other parts of us are not, it is more vulnerable and deserving of attention. Our genetics give us different types of skin, so being clear about what is ours, why take care of it, and what are the ideal products for it, will make a difference when choosing from this sea of ​​facial care offers that is getting bigger and bigger.

 

Most beauty products and treatments have a group of acids as their main component and being able to distinguish them will make a difference when choosing, because you will do it according to your needs and thus you will be able to have the porcelain complexion that we all dream of. . Also, a bad choice could cause unexpected results such as dryness or increased oil production. Today we will talk about 10 good acids that you cannot lose sight of:

 

  1. Hyaluronic Acid: it will be your perfect ally if you are looking to refresh your face. This component acts like a small sponge that stores up to 1000 times its size and not only that, it can also enter the deepest layers of the skin to benefit it. This miraculous acid is not only the king of antiaging, but it also moisturizes and is perfect for dry skin although our body has already produced it naturally since we were 40 years old, manufacturing goes downhill when the first wrinkles appear. Keep in mind that there are two types, crosslinked or non-crosslinked: the first fills in wrinkles, and the second captures and keeps water in the skin.

 

  1. Salicylic Acid: Do you feel like you're in a horror movie when acne starts to take over your face, you're looking desperate and nothing works? Don't worry, this acid will make a difference.

  1. Linoleic Acid: You are one of those who think that hydration is not for oily skin: well, this is a great myth.

This fatty acid reduces that feeling, as well as wrinkles and expression lines.

Ferulic Acid: If there is a true hero in the fight against aging, it is this acid, it acts as a strong antioxidant that also prevents future damage to our skin, and not only that, it also protects us from UV rays and the famous light blue from technological screens and as if that were not enough, it increases collagen and elastin. It is for all this that it has become everyone's favorite and the trend in beauty products and treatments.

 

  1. Azelaic Acid: This component is perfect for fighting acne on any skin type because, despite being very powerful, it has a perfect anti-inflammatory effect for rosacea. It is also a great disinfectant that reduces the proliferation of bacteria, preventing inflammation and future infections. But that's not all, it's one of the few acids that you can use if you're waiting sweetly or if you're lactating since the skin only absorbs 3.6% of it.
