AHA Information
The "Other" AHA's: Tartaric and Malic Acid

Technical information on the alpha hydroxy acids, AHA's, reveals that the other two most commonly known natural AHA acids are tartaric acid and malic acid.

Unfortunately, these two acids don't really play a significant role in anti-aging skin care as yet.

The AHA acids most commonly known to have proven skin rejuvenating benefits are glycolic acid, Vitamin C L ascorbic acid and lactic acid.

Although known for their antioxidant qualities, the primary benefits from tartaric acid and malic acid come from eating the foods rich in these organic acid properties rather than applying a commercial product with these ingredients to the skin.

However. . .

Tartaric and malic acid do play a role in natural skin care as gentle exfoliators that also provide nutrients to the skin. These two acids are especially beneficial for sensitive skin types.

These two less known natural alpha hydroxy acids do have a significant impact on our health.

Vinegars made from fruits containing tartaric or malic acid such as cider vinegar make a gentle natural skin cleaner or skin toner.

Given the documented clinical results of glycolic, citric and lactic acids in effectively treating aging skin, selecting skin care products containing any of these AHA acids is the better choice to consider when selecting active anti-aging ingredients for your own skin rejuvenation regimen.

Remember the simple secrets of 1. . . 2. . . 3. . .

Choose Skin rejuvenation products that contain an appropriate concentration of active anti-aging ingredients!

Of course, sipping on a little glass of wine as you conclude your nightly anti-aging skin care routine could potentially give you the healthful antioxidant benefits internally which will also be visible externally.

Cheers!
