Judith Airey, a biomedical researcher, has a PhD in Cell & Molecular Biology and is a faculty member at a Medical School.
Like most of us, Judith wants to know what will keep her healthy and young looking as she ages. With her science background and knowledge she is able to research what works and what is hype.
Mandelic is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that has several advantages over the more common chemical peels such as glycolic acid.
Mandelic acid is non-irritating so it can be used by every skin tone including those with darker tones. It is ideal for those with acne or occasional breakouts.
Daily mandelic acid is going to be a new wave in anti-aging skin care
It seems that we are constantly being told to stay out of the sun. Any exposure to the sun and the UV rays is supposed to be bad for us. The implication is that if we never went in the sun our skin would not age and we would not have any wrinkles.
When our skin is exposed to strong UVB light we make vitamin D. It is estimated that over half the adult population is at least slightly vitamin D deficient.
Now the advice to not get any sun exposure is being revisited. For instance, in Australia there are now recommendations to get sensible exposure.
Vitamin C is thought to be the primary antioxidant in skin. Another important antioxidant in skin is vitamin E.
As we age the amount of these vitamins that get to our skin is reduced, even if our diet in high in them.
Recently, it has been shown that vitamins C and E applied to the skin can protect against sun damage. Application of vitamins C and E together is more effective than either is alone.
How vitamins are stabilized in skin lotions and creams, and how to get good uptake into the skin is important. This is where ferulic acid is comes into play.
