Glynis BarberBeauty, Skincare Leave a Comment

There’s a popular misconception that to achieve and maintain good skin as we age, we have to buy very expensive products. In fact, many people presume that the more expensive the product, the better they are. I disagree. It’s true that some expensive products are very effective but this is also true of some much cheaper brands. They often use …

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s) were a revelation and literally life changing when they first appeared a few decades ago.
