Beta. Acids, vitamins and derivatives. All these words sound more like stuff in a science experiment than lotions or creams for your skin. But never fear: This simple guide will help you understand the latest ingredients in skin care products that may benefit your skin. Use this information to sort through various skin care products on the market. If you're still unsure which skin care products are right for you, ask your dermatologist or consult with a skin esthetician at your local salon or beauty counter. Alpha-hydroxy Acids (AHAs) Over-the-counter skin care products containing alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic, tartaric and citric acids) have become increasingly popular over the last five years. In the U.S. alone, there are over 200 manufacturers of skin care products containing alpha-hydroxy acids. Creams and lotions with alpha-hydroxy acids may help with fine lines, irregular pigmentation and age spots, and may help decrease enlarged pores. Side effects of alpha-hydroxy acids include mild irritation and sun sensitivity. For that reason, sunscreen also should be used every morning. To help avoid skin irritation with alpha-hydroxy acids, it is advisable to start with a product with concentrations of AHA (10-15 percent) Also, make sure you ease into it. You want to get your skin used to alpha-hydroxy acids, so you should only initially apply the skin care product every other day, gradually working up to daily application. Beta-hydroxy Acid (Salicylic Acid) Salicylic acid also has been studied for its effect on skin that has aged prematurely due to exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. It exfoliates skin, and can improve the texture and color of the skin. It penetrates oil-laden hair follicle openings and, as a result, also helps with acne . There are many skin care products available that contain salicylic acid. Some are available over-the-counter and others require a doctor's prescription. Studies have shown that salicylic acid is less irritating than skin care products containing alpha-hydroxy acids, while providing similar improvement in skin texture and color. Hydroquinone Skin care products containing hydroquinone are popularly referred to as bleaching creams or lightening agents. These skin care products are used to lighten hyperpigmentation , such as age spots and dark spots related to pregnancy or hormone therapy ( melasma or chloasma). Some over-the-counter skin care products contain hydroquinone, but your doctor can also prescribe a solution with a higher concentration of hydroquinone if your skin doesn't respond to over- the-counter treatments. If you are allergic to hydroquinones, you can use products containing kojic acid instead. Kojic Acid Kojic acid is a more recent remedy for the treatment of pigment problems and age spots. Discovered in 1989, kojic acid has a similar effect as hydroquinone. Kojic acid is derived from a fungus , and studies have shown that it is effective as a lightening agent, inhibiting production of melanin (brown pigment). Retinol This is a derivative of vitamin A , and you will see that a lot of skin care products contain retinol. Retinol's stronger counterpart is tretinoin, which is the active ingredient in Retin-A and Renova. If your skin is too sensitive to use Retin-A, retinol is an excellent alternative. Here's why skin responds to skin care products with retinol: vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of skin, where it finds collagen and elastin . Retinol is proven to improve mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles , skin texture, skin tone and color, and your skin's hydration levels.You may also hear about retinyl palmitate . This falls into the same family as retinol, but if the skin care product you choose contains retinyl palmitate, you will need to use more of this product than one that contains retinol to get the same effect. L-Ascorbic Acid This is the only form of vitamin C that you should look for in your skin care products. There are many skin care products on the market today that boast vitamin C derivatives as an ingredient (magnesium ascorbyl phosphate or ascorbyl palmitate, for example), but L-ascorbic acid is the only useful form of vitamin C in skin care products. Vitamin C is the only antioxidant that is proven to stimulate the synthesis of collagen as well, which is essential since your body's natural collagen production decreases as you age. Sun exposure will also accelerate the decrease in collagen. Studies have shown that vitamin C helps to minimize fine lines, scars, and wrinkles. 1 2 | Next Printer-Friendly Format | Email to a Friend Last Editorial Review: 1/31/2005 6:16:09 AM Visit The Skin Home Page Allergies Alzheimer's Arthritis Asthma BloodPressure Cancer Cholesterol Chronic Pain Cold & Flu Crohn'sDisease Depression Diabetes Dictionary Digestion Eyesight Feet &Fitness First Aid Healthy Kids HealthyLiving Hearing & Ear Heart Hepatitis C HIV/AIDS Liver Lung Cond.

Babassu oil Moisturizes the skin. Grapeseed Oil Is very rich in essential fatty acids that help to repair the skin's moisture barrier, thus helping to restore smoothness and suppleness. Glycerin Is an effective moisturizer which helps improve softness and maximize hydration. Community Trade Information The babassu oil in many of our fragrance body lotions is a real success story. Produced by a co-operative of 12 different communities in north eastern Brazil, the oil produced by pressing the babassu kernels is harvested by women known as "babassu breakers" who use axes to crack open the nuts. Indeed, the women had to campaign for the right to collect the nuts in the first place, a success story in itself. Buoyed on by their success, and with the increased respect they gained as earners within thier communities, the women then campaigned to stop the big landowners chopping down babassu palms to graze cattle. They won. And so by helping preserve the forest, they've preserved their livelihood. Another reason why you'll feel good moisturizing with a product made from Community Trade babassu oil.
