Are you anti (against) wrinkles and would use anything to get rid of those natural skin changes? Well, the skin care product market is saturated with anti aging claims for lotions and creams containing the acid of alpha hydroxy.

Alpha hydroxy acids are derivatives of fruit, sugar cane and milk sugars. Some science does back this unwrinkler’s regular use for noticeable aging skin improvement.

However, many have experienced skin problems after using a cream or lotion containing alpha hydroxy acid. Side effect complaints include:

• rash
• itching
• blisters
• redness
• burning
• swelling
• bleeding
• skin discoloration

A prudent method for discovering how your skin will handle alpha hydroxy, thus avoiding these side effects, is to apply it to a small wrinkled facial skin area before you generously lap it all over your face.

Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) creams and lotions can be used safely if:

• test small patch of skin first
• use products with pH of 3.5 or more
• products contain 10 percent AHAs or less
• consult a dermatologist if you have problems
• stop using the product immediately if you have itching, burning, swelling or other problems
• protect your skin from the sun while you are using AHA product and for a week after use stops

Keep in mind that price of an anti wrinkle product has little or no relationship to effectiveness.

Speaking of effectiveness, a daily rubbing of guava, mango or citrus juice (orange, lemon, grapefruit) on your face might accomplish your anti wrinkle objective as well, naturally. Ascorbic acid has strong scientific backing for anti aging skin benefits.

Try checking out of the skin care product aisle and checking into the produce section. Also, consuming the leftover part of your chosen fruit has a side effect of overall health improvement!
