Facial Acids for winters

Your skin also needs hydration and nourishment as your body does. Not all types of acids are beneficial for your winter dry skin before using any of the acids consult it with your dermatologists or any professional. You can also visit Swagmee's website for skin care videos.

There are a few acids that do wonders for your skin such as

• Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid fills the skin with hydration and locks the mixture of the skin. Unlike other acids, it doesn't peel the dead skin but provides full hydration.

The use of hyaluronic acid with moisturizing cream or lotion retains the moisture of the skin. Lack of hydration leads the skin to excessive dryness, flakiness and allergies. This acid is recommended by every professional and dermatologist if you want smoother and softer skin. You can also correct the balance of your hyaluronic serum according to your skin type.

• Glycolic Acid: whether you directly apply this acid on your skin or not but your skin has been intaking this acid through other products such as your makeup exfoliants, cleanser or moisturizer. It gets rid of your wrinkles, acne, breakouts and hyperpigmentation. The acid is well known for exfoliating the top layer of the skin or dead skin cells. For dull and sensitive skin you can use it in a form of cream or other products formulated with glycolic acid. This acid is a good product to treat dry and dull skin in winters. It is more gentle and free of chemicals than any other cleanser or scrubber. You can also apply glycolic acid to your dark and patchy areas to make them bright and healthy.
• Lactic Acid: Lactic acid is best known for skin exfoliation and moisturization. If you are looking for any product which is good for exfoliating and moisturizing at the same time then you should go for lactic acid.
