About the Masque:
With the Alpha Hydroxy Acids of Malic Acid, Citric Acid, Tartaric Acid (derived from grapes) and Lactose this masque is a fabulous renewing treatment. Alpha Hydroxy Acids have exfoliation and therapeutic properties which help with, and minimize photo damaged skin, which is a major contributing factor to aging. Apart from ridding the skin of unnecessary dead cells, they also have a moisturizing effect on the skin, by increasing the moisture content of the upper skin and so smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, as well as reducing dryness and combating flakiness. Long-term use of low concentration AHA's can also increase collagen and elastin synthesis, and also boost protein regeneration in the skin.
