Acid Exfoliation Tips

Which acid exfoliation tip has helped you the most in incorporating acids into your routine? For me, it has to be starting slowly and adding plenty of skin supporting ingredients into my daily AM/PM routine. Plus lots and lots of hydration especially the morning after. ⁣

Being darker in skin tone and suffering very dark (almost black looking) post acne scars, it is really easy to want to reach out for the very strong acid exfoliant that will help speed up and remove the dark marks as quickly as possible. However, the caveat to this is that whilst lighter skin tones may be able to use these high % acids with little side effects, darker skin tones run the increased risk of irritating the skin and further darkening the skin (noting that melanin hyperactivity & overproduction can be triggered from irritated skin). ⁣
