Alpha Hydroxy Acids

Q: I keep hearing about alpha hydroxy acids. What are the benefits of this ingredient?

A: Alpha hydroxy acids have a variety of benefits. They have a moisturizing action which helps with the retention of water and keeps the skin looking supple. They also act as an exfoliant and gradually eliminate dead skin cells. Furthermore, it acts as an aging preventative in that with the regular elimination of dead skin cells, new cells are stimulated. Spa treatments at le petit spa will allow you to get the maximum benefits from alpha hydroxy acids. Visit www.lepetitspa.ca for more information.
