By Janvi Dua / Feburary 27 2023
By now, you know the benefits of using active ingredients for the face but what about using them on the body? In 2023, skincare for the body and active ingredients for the body will become as important as hygiene routine. There are ingredients that have been proven to do wonders on your skin so why not use them for the body? These ingredients work to hydrate, repair, and protect the body. These products can also address several body concerns such as body acne, and hyperpigmentation. You may have other concerns below your neck, including loss of firmness, hyperpigmentation, and ingrown hairs. Active ingredients such as retinol and AHAs like glycolic and lactic acid can treat these issues. These ingredients help to stimulate accelerated cell turnover which causes dull, lackluster skin to shed more rapidly says Dr. Margarita Lolis, a board-certified dermatologist. Whether you’re new to the world of skincare or consider yourself somewhat of a beauty enthusiast, there are a few very common active ingredients that you may come across when shopping for active skincare.
Below are some of the most common active skincare ingredients to familiarize yourself with such as vitamin c antioxidant that fights against free-radical damage from the environment, retinol “gold standard” of anti-aging, hyaluronic acid, this “gentle acid” is often used in formulas promising hydration., salicylic acid control excess sebum and unclog the pores, and AHA exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin to reveal more even-toned and smoother skin underneath. The golden rule to adding actives into your body care routine is to resist the urge to load up on actives and instead introduce them to your routine one by one. “It’s important to introduce one product at a time so you’ll be able to see what each product is doing for the skin. We only recommend ideas we have independently researched, tested, and loved.
